This 2-day Precision Rifle I course is designed to establish a reliable foundation in precision rifle shooting, focusing on the core mechanics that drive consistent hits. Students will build a working understanding of rifle setup, optic function, and shooter input, with emphasis placed on developing repeatable fundamentals from the ground up.

Instruction is delivered through a mix of guided coaching and live-fire application. Students will zero their rifles, confirm data, and begin applying ballistic solutions while working alongside a partner in a shooter-spotter role. Communication, corrections, and feedback loops are reinforced throughout the course to build an efficient team workflow on the gun.

Live-fire training progresses from foundational drills to practical engagements, focusing on understanding MOA and MIL systems, applying wind calls, and managing rifle adjustments in real conditions. Expect a steady round count and consistent time behind the rifle to validate learning through repetition.

Key training areas include:

  • Rifle setup and equipment selection for precision shooting
  • Fundamentals of marksmanship and shooter input control
  • Understanding and applying MOA and MIL systems
  • Zeroing procedures and trajectory validation
  • Wind effects and basic wind reading application
  • Shooter and spotter communication and correction workflow
  • Use of ballistic applications for firing solutions

This course is best suited for new precision rifle shooters or those who need a structured refresher on fundamentals before advancing further. A rifle capable of MOA accuracy is required, along with a scope featuring a matching reticle and turret system. Students should arrive with 300 rounds of ammunition, a ballistic app, and essential field gear to support a full day on the range.
