PSR 101: Precision Scoped Rifle

This is a three-day, entry-level precision scoped rifle course built for shooters starting formal long-range rifle training. It introduces scope and rifle terminology, MOA and mil concepts, scope setup and adjustment, and the core marksmanship fundamentals needed to build a repeatable shot process.

‍

Instruction is delivered through explanation, demonstration, and live-fire application as students work from 100 to 200 to 300 yards. Shooters learn how rifle fit affects consistency, how to record engagements in a data book, and how external ballistics and atmospheric conditions begin to influence impact as distance increases. The course also introduces alternate positions, along with basic rifle and optic cleaning and maintenance.

‍

Key training areas include:

• Scope and precision rifle terminology, nomenclature, and scope function
• MOA and milliradian concepts, including making scope adjustments for impact shift on demand
• Building a repeatable shot process and refining prone marksmanship fundamentals
• Data book use, with emphasis on recording engagement details for future corrections
• Introductory external ballistics, atmospheric effects, and positional shooting with a scoped rifle

‍

This course is best suited for new precision rifle shooters who need a solid foundation before moving into more advanced classes. Students need a precision scoped rifle capable of about 1 MOA accuracy, match ammunition, and the ability to spend extended time in prone and work from alternate positions.
