Long Range/Precision Rifle Operations

Directed by Operational Snipers with Real World Experience!

Due to the number of recent requests, we are running our Long Range/Precision Rifle course in December of 2024! Smash some steel target 1,000 yards away in the beautiful mountains of wild, wonderful West Virginia. This course is ideal for the tactical long-range marksman, as well as the long-range rifle hunter or PRS shooter. Students can expect to participate in a short classroom portion Friday morning, to cover ballistics, rifle setup, MILs, MOA, wind formulas etc. This will be held in a classroom setting at a local fire house. Then we will head to the range and zero rifles. We will conduct shooting drills for the remainder of Friday and spend the night on site if you choose. Students often make dinner over the campfire, then sleep in their tents, trucks or in the cabin.  Cook your dinner and enjoy it by the group campfire Friday night. Saturday will be breakfast and then long range shooting all day. Sunday morning will be a 3-hour rifle mini sniper competition, with first place taking home a trophy!

There are food establishments and hotels approximately 25 minutes nearby if you do not wish to camp or stay on site with us. (This is basically a camping trip coupled with safe, professional long range rifle instruction by qualified instructors). Space is limited on the firing line, as this class almost always fills up! Feel free to contact us for more details.

Throughout the course, the following topics will be covered:

  • Proper fundamentals for precision rifle marksmanship

  • How to “True” your rifle with your ballistics app

  • Minutes of Angle (MOA) vs MIL systems (what is better/easier)

  • Ranging targets with a MIL or MOA reticle

  • Basic wind formulas (mathematical & field expedient) (MOA & MIL)

  • Range estimation drills (LRF and other methods)

  • Positional Shooting (tripods, bipods, partner, V-Tac barricades and tank traps etc.)

  • Angle shooting procedures / angle shooting out to 300 yards

  • Many “performance on demand” drills under Par-time restraints

  • Gear and caliber choices
