Precision Fundamentals / 22 SNIPER — Intro to Precision Rifle: From Fundamentals to Early-Advanced Techniques

Class Description

Precision Fundamentals is a two-day, hands-on introduction to precision rifle shooting using the .22LR platform. Designed for civilian shooters, competitive shooters, and law-enforcement personnel seeking a low-recoil, high-feedback training multiplier, the course teaches foundational marksmanship, ballistics, wind reading, range estimation, fieldcraft, and basic shooter/observer teamwork — then advances into early precision techniques used by observation teams and snipers. Students leave able to zero and maintain a precision rifle, build repeatable positions, call shots, apply wind corrections, and execute simple concealment and detection tasks in realistic field scenarios.

This course balances classroom theory (history of precision riflecraft and basic external ballistics) with dry-fire fundamentals and progressive live-fire drills to develop repeatability and observational discipline. Instruction emphasizes skeletal support, natural point of aim, shot calling, documentation (DOPE/shot logs), and team communication. The .22LR platform demonstrates concepts that scale directly to centerfire systems — an ideal pathway for students preparing to transition into larger-caliber precision work.

Learning Objectives

Demonstrate consistent marksmanship fundamentals (NPA, bone support, breathing, trigger control, follow-through).
Zero a .22LR precision rifle and record DOPE for common ranges.
Estimate distance using reticles and basic methods; apply holdovers and simple ballistic compensation.
Recognize wind indicators (mirage, vegetation) and make practical wind calls.
Build repeatable supported and unsupported shooting positions (prone, kneeling, seated).
Execute basic shooter/observer team roles and concise corrective communications.
Apply concealment and basic fieldcraft to reduce detection and silhouette.
Scale learned techniques and logbook practices to centerfire precision work.
