Description
The Introduction to Precision Rifle is a one day course that covers the basics of precision rifle shooting. From the rifle, scope, and ancillary equipment selection to the introduction of ballistics and the effects of the environment on a bullet (External Ballistics) every rifle shooter will broaden their knowledge base in this course.
After the classroom, shooters then zero their rifles to 1 Minute of Angle (MOA) at 100 yards. Shooters will then confirm their calculated 300 yard zero, adjust their scope, and shooting at a 1 MOA target (3″). The objective is to introduce Precision Marksmanship Fundamentals. All shooting will be done from the prone position so be prepared to get dirty or bring a shooting mat.
