Class size: limited to 10

 

Instructor: Jim Kauber jimkauber@thesitetraining.com

 

Course hours: Course begins at 8:00 AM and ends approximately 4:30 PM each day. All attendees will meet in the main classroom at The Site on the first day of training.

 

Course Description: Whether you shoot long range recreationally, Precision Rifle series style competition or as a law enforcement professional you may currently be using or considering purchasing a scope with the TReMoR 3 Reticle. Either way, if you’re not familiar with the reticle, you may think, “Too cluttered.” Clutter applies to features you’re unfamiliar with. The TReMoR 3 reticle has many applicable features that are clearly understood with formal training. This course is designed to fully familiarize you with all these features in short classroom sessions then immediately followed by feature application on the long-distance range.

 

Subjects covered:

 

  • Mil sub-tension line identification
  • Reticle range finding
  • Moving target mile per hour marks
  • Wind dot calibration / wind dots as moving target reference points
  • Rapid, multi-distance target engagements
  • Using the mil scale to establish target size in inches

 

Come prepared i.e., TReMoR 3 or 5 reticle scope, mounted and rifle zeroed at your prescribed distance with elevation and windage turrets indexed to 0 and zero stops set, receiver screws, base & scope ring screws torqued to their required settings. We’ll fine tune the zeroes for that day and calibrate or recalibrate the wind dots for the weekend’s specific atmospheric conditions though. For those who do not know their actual velocities, we’ll chronograph their rifle for this information.

 

Note: This is neither a Precision Rifle nor basic long range marksmanship course (see Precision Rifle) as focus will be entirely on use of the TReMor reticle.
