Long-Range Marksmanship 101 - May 18-20, 2018 - Towanda, PA
You must fill out and submit a Class Application Form prior to attending this class. The form can be found here.
This class is for shooters who have attended a carbine course and are ready to expand their ability to shoot beyond the near-threat range. The course is designed from the combat long-range marksmanship perspective and will provide shooters with the tools they need to be able to stretch their competency to the beginning of the transonic range. Students completing this class will be confident in their ability to accurately account for the atmosphere, elevation, and their weapon’s muzzle velocity as they use this data to reliably produce first-round hits on long-range targets; shooters will re-define their understanding of the word “effective” in “maximum effective range.”
Day 1: The prone supported shooting position, setting up your rifle, introduction to optics.
Day 2: shooting: zero, true zero (muzzle velocity “MV”), understanding & applying atmospherics, holdover data “DOPE” for various known ranges given your weapon system’s MV.
Day 3: the “cold-bore” zero, using your tools, known distance shooting exam
Lunch will be provided Saturday and Sunday.
