Sniper Course

Our sniper courses are designed to challenge and improve your sniper program.   There is more to a police precision rifle (Sniper Rifle) than just pulling the trigger.  In order to successfully deploy the rifle,  the operator must have a thorough understanding of the weapon.  A police marksman must have supreme understanding on what they are capable of.   More importantly they need to understand what they can't do.  This equates to knowledge and tactics.

Our base course is a three day course designed to take a beginning police sniper and make them ready to deploy.  During eight hours of lecture the officer will learn the fundementals of the rifle and the shooter.  During the next two days the students will be tested on a variety of skills designed to increase thier shooting and decision making.  They will be evaluated and critiqued during the training with the final evaluation being given to the team supervisor.  The course introduces the officer to a variety of skills that they should continue to incorporate into their training evolutions.  This course will provide the police precision marksman with everything they need to communicate and train in the sniper community.
