Sniper I Tactical Training

Sniper I is a 3 day course for the beginner/novice shooter, focusing on building a solid foundation of marksmanship fundamentals. The student is not required to have any experience with long range marksmanship prior to this course. This will be a moderate paced course; but students can expect to spend most of their time in the prone position. The instructors will begin by focusing on safety and then quickly advance to rifle/scope manipulation and breakdown, fundamentals of marksmanship, reading and adjusting for wind; and internal/external ballistics. The students will engage static targets out to 1,000 yards. This course will take place at the Sewet Range Facility utilizing the entire area and services they offer. Students will leave the course with knowledge of their rifle and personal capabilities, as well as a foundation to grow as a Long Range Shooter.

Thank you to all of you who have contacted us in regards to this course. We have purchased a significant amount of .308 LR ammo and now we wait. Hoping to have some here by April and the rest by May, so for all of you who are having issues finding ammo, we will be able to provide ammunition for these courses in the future at low cost. We will keep you all posted and we will see you at the range.
