Course Overview: Our Level 1 Fundamentals course will include 2 ½ days of instruction and shooting. Students will arrive on Thursdays with class starting at 9:00 A.M. on Friday morning and run through Sunday afternoon. This class starts with the fundamentals of your rifle, rifle setup, ammunition, optics, and accessories, and how they must work together to create a shooting system. We will then take a dive into ballistics, setup, solving and of course wind reading. Next, we will hit the field to begin shooting. This will start with proper bench shooting techniques at 100 yards to ensure accurate rifle zeroing, rifle check and ammunition check. We then move onto prone position 1 and start applying the fundaments we have covered as we work out to farther distances. Throughout the next day and a half, we continue to advance these skills at greater distances as well as start to incorporate other shooting positions and techniques you will certainly encounter in the field.
