SPR Precision Rifle

This 2-day classroom and range course is built for shooters working with a 5.56mm semi-auto precision rifle who want a grounded introduction to intermediate-range marksmanship through the SPR lens. Lead instructor MSG (ret) Steve Holland and SOF cadre use the MK-12 program as a framework to teach not just competitive shooting skills, but also the practical setup, ballistic understanding, and field application behind designated marksman rifle use.

‍

Instruction covers how to configure the rifle and optic, establish and confirm zero, and build stable positions for accurate fire from prone, barricades, and other non-standard positions. Shooters also work through the difference between accuracy and precision, natural point of aim, gas-gun recoil management for faster follow-up shots, and the basics of internal and external ballistics, wind estimation, range estimation, and data collection so they can understand the what and why behind each correction.

‍

Key training areas include:

• Designated marksman rifle setup, including scope selection and setup
• Establishing and confirming rifle and optic zero
• Advanced rifle marksmanship fundamentals, including natural point of aim and position building
• Gas-gun techniques for faster follow-up shots from stable and improvised positions
• Introductory ballistics, wind estimation, environmental compensation, and scope or reticle data use

This course fits shooters with a solid interest in 5.56 precision gas-gun work, including competitors, hunters, and MIL or LE personnel. Students need a durable 5.56mm semi-auto rifle capable of 1 MOA at 100 yards, a tactical scope, bipod, rear support, sling, and 300 rounds.
