This course is intended for the duty sniper or the rifleman who wants to learn about advanced aspects of weapon-craft. In this course you will be exposed to the fundamentals of field craft, and will learn to make first round hits with your weapons system at unknown distances out to 800 yards. You will learn the exterior and terminal ballistics of your weapons system. If so equipped, you will learn to use the mildot reticle and other instruments specific to the mission profile of the military precision marksman. You’ll put these elements to work in several scenarios, including field exercises. This is a physically and mentally demanding class, but at the end of the course, you’ll be amply prepared to take the field as a precision marksman.
