Precision Rifle Marksmanship I

PREREQUISITE: An Introduction to Rifle Marksmanship course

16HRS / Two days 

This is a two-day course designed for the novice to intermediate marksman. This course is highly encouraged for those who have had little or no formal precision rifle or military sniper training. This is a fast-paced course, and, like all NinjaBobSolutions training, we will begin with firearms safety and transition into equipment comprehension, fundamentals of marksmanship, basic ballistics, wind reading, range estimation, and target engagements to 1,000 yards. Ranges will be those normally associated with designated marksman (DM) roles at medium-intermediate ranges beyond those associated with standard AR engagement distances. Students that complete the course will have a foundational base of precision marksmanship fundamentals, a combined knowledge of their personal capabilities with their tools of the trade and their weapons capabilities. 

This course is well suited for civilian competitors, med/big game hunters, LE/first responders, Security Professionals and U.S. Military personnel entering the realm of precision rifle marksmanship. Students registering for this course should have successfully completed Fundamentals of Rifle Marksmanship course or be able to verify that they have attended/received a foundational rifle/carbine training/course where they have demonstrated proficiency with a semi-auto rifle/carbine (AR platform) or bolt action rifle and safe gun handling procedures with live ammunition.

Cost $650.00
