This seven-day, 60+ hour course is a law enforcement sniper fundamentals program built for active LE, military personnel, or credentialed government contractors assigned to precision fire and tactical reconnaissance roles. It is aimed at shooters who are new to the sniper role or who need stronger confidence and performance on engagements out to 600 yards.
