CANCELLED 0800-1700

Credit Hours: 16
Course Number: R4127C

Description:

After a review of fundamentals, rifle setups, etc., the Advanced Long-Range course pushes the snipers’ limits in a confidence building prone shoot which assesses initial deficiencies in technique.
Snipers are then tasked with deriving wind solutions for shots out to the extreme limit of their rifles.

Once confident in themselves the sniper(s) move(s) into advanced shooting techniques involving the use of tripods, kneeling, sitting, standing, and improvised.
The sniper students are then introduced to high angle shooting where all the prior knowledge they have gained on course is applied with the addition of complex wind solutions which address the new scenarios. Snipers will learn to tune firing solutions to the specific environment in which snipers operate whether it be urban or rural.The snipers will learn limitations of Ballistics solvers and environmental factors because solvers are limited to gathering data at a given point only.
