Introduction to Long Range Shooting will ground you in the fundamentals of precision rifle marksmanship. Taking a structured approach to marksmanship, we will start with rifle configuration, optics, and set up, understanding units of measure and how they apply to rifle shooting, fundamentals of marksmanship and application in your role as a long-range marksman, zeroing procedures, and rounding out with practical application. This course will start out with classroom instruction but quickly move to the range to garner hands on experience in application of fire with your chosen rifle. This is an introductory course that will start you down the path to understanding the world of long-range shooting and is a precursor to our Long Range I course.
