This course is designed for those who have previously attended The Site’s Precision Rifle, LE Sniper Application or Designated Marksman Rifle courses. It will be a formal refresher on perishable skill subject matter i.e., external ballistics, wind reading, positional shooting, evaluating, establishing minute or mil lead then engaging moving targets at distance, spotter/shooter communication and engaging targets at odd distances utilizing minute or mil come-ups from your personally established 100 – 600 yard dope.
Come prepared with your firearm zeroed at your required distance, typically 100 yards, elevation and windage turrets indexed to zero and zero stops set. Know your reticle and what each mark and/or dot is worth in minutes or mils. Time will not be allotted to cover this as it will hold up the entire class as we move back from 100 to 600 yards verifying individual elevation settings. This is a Site Refresher not an initial Precision Rifle course.
