This course will be more in depth than an “Intro to Precision Rifle” course and is aimed primarily at competition shooting. It is geared toward the shooter that has maybe shot a couple matches, and is struggling to break through the mid pack point. A portion of the first day will be classroom oriented followed up with some range time to work on what has been learned. Sunday we will work on some drills in the morning followed by some full speed mock stages to bring everything together. Targets will be set up out to 1000 yards. A basic lunch will be provided each day. 
 
Some major objectives of this course:
Tighten up your fundamentals
Improve your wind calling techniques
Learn proper shot follow through
Improve your positional shooting
Overcome some of those troublesome mental mistakes that consistently plague shooters from performing to the best of their ability.

A rifle capable of 1MOA or better with a detachable magazine, zeroed at 100 yards, with a known velocity. Maximum 30 caliber and 3200 fps. Minimum cartridge of .223 Remington. Scope with adjustable turrets and known windage marks on the reticle.
200 rounds of loaded ammunition
Bipod that is low enough for prone shooting
Shooting bag for prone and positional shooting
Ballistic solver (Preferably a Kestrel with ballistics)
