Precision Rifle - 3 Days

 

Introduction: The U.S. Training Center Precision Rifle Course is an in-depth three day course that will take an individual with little or no experience with scoped precision rifles through all the training required to become self sufficient in the operation and handling of the rifle. U.S. Training Center instructors are all qualified Military or Law Enforcement Snipers with many years of experience in the field.

All topics presented during the course are proven fundamentals of long distance marksmanship. The instruction is detailed and comprehensive; this is not the course where you’ll hear war stories from the cadre. Note: No sniper tactics will be discussed on this course (U.S. Training Center Basic Sniper Course is specifically designed to provide that training for Law Enforcement and Military students).

Aim: Every shooter will come away with a solid foundation on which to build his long rifle shooting skills whether for hunting or target practice.

Topics:

• Precision Rifle Characteristics
• Safety Precautions
• Maintenance and Cleaning
• Break in Theory Discussion

• Mounting and Fitting
