Scout Recon I

This 3-day course is a condensed scout sniper-style program built for law enforcement snipers or designated marksmen, hunters, and civilian shooters who want both precision rifle work and reconnaissance fieldcraft. Training combines classroom-style review with range work and practical field exercises, culminating in stalks through the woods where concealment and movement are evaluated.

‍

Shooters review core marksmanship fundamentals, confirm zero, and build usable rifle data while working through reticle use, ranging, wind calls, trace, and holds for faster engagements at extended distance. The fieldcraft block adds camouflage, stalking, movement through dead space, concealed shooting positions, water crossings, and surveillance or counter-surveillance techniques, with students expected to apply those skills in realistic terrain.

‍

Key training areas include:

• Reviewing eye relief, shooting positions, breathing, trigger control, and follow through
• Confirming zero and establishing DOPE while applying reticle-based ranging with mil, MOA, or BDC optics
• Reading mirage, environmental conditions, and bullet trace to correct for wind and improve follow-up shots
• Building stability in advanced and unorthodox shooting positions and using holds for faster target engagements
• Applying camouflage, stalking, dead-space movement, concealed firing positions, tactical water crossings, and surveillance skills during field exercises

‍

This course fits shooters who already own a precision or hunting rifle with an adjustable scope and want to integrate fieldcraft with practical long-range fundamentals. Students need a rifle, suitable optic, 250 rounds, and basic recon items for the stalk and movement portions, including camouflage clothing, skin paint, and hydration.
