The Long Range Precision Rifle I Course introduces students to the fundamentals, equipment, and techniques required for success in long range precision rifle shooting. Topics will include optics selection use and adjustments, internal and external ballistics, fundamentals of marksmanship, environmental effects on ballistic, rifle cleaning and maintenance and more. This course is designed with the sporting rifle enthusiast, competition shooter, and hunter in mind.

Practical range training will include shooting targets at known and unknown distances, range estimation, various challenging courses of fire, ballistics calculation and application, effects of the wind and how to correct for it, maximum point blank range, meteorological effects on bullet trajectory, and firearms safety.

Students attending this course will also learn about accuracy potential and hit probability. Our goal is to help each student exceed their comfortable engagement distance through the application of science and math. As well as understanding the capabilities and limitations of their equipment and ammunition.

Course Syllabus

Day 1

In the Classroom we will cover Internal and External Ballistic, Marksmanship, Optics and more. We will then head to the range to get a 100 yard zero and do some shooting exercises.  

Day 2

Starting on the Cooper Range, Students will learn to gather velocity, environmental and other data. Applying the data we gather, Students will engage targets from 200 to 800 yards. Emphasis will be placed on the effects of wind, temperature, humidity and other factors on ballistics. The class will work in teams to learn shooter spotter relationships. We will apply data gathering and record keeping establishing DOPE (Data on Previous Engagements).

Day 3

We will pick up where we left off at the Cooper Range and work our way out to 1400 yards. We will also perform some exercises such as adding timed engagements on targets in a certain order. We will return to the classroom for rifle cleaning and maintenance, followed by a final lecture and discussion.
