Overview
Precision Scoped Rifle 102 is a two-day advanced course, building on Precision Scoped Rifle 101, designed for entry-level precision scoped rifle shooters. The training focuses on delivering accurate shots over extended distances by addressing density altitude, atmospheric measuring devices, wind effects, and other factors. Students engage reduced-sized targets up to 750 yards, enhance data book documentation, and grasp the purpose and applications of precision shooting in various conditions.
Experience Requirements
To enroll in Precision Scoped Rifle 102, participants must have completed Precision Scoped Rifle 101 or its equivalent, demonstrating prior experience in applying marksmanship fundamentals to hit targets with accuracy and precision. Completion of Scopes is preferred, but not mandatory. Attendees must abide by the range rules, showing safe gun handling practices, muzzle management, trigger finger discipline, and target discrimination. An open-minded and respectful attitude towards the training and techniques instructed and demonstrated during the course is expected.
Students failing to meet and maintain our safety requirements and/or who cannot meet and immediately demonstrate the minimum skills required for the specific class may be removed from training. Please ensure you have read through the class description and fully understand our prerequisites before registering.
