Our Basic Sniper School curriculum is designed for new officers who have been assigned to a Sniper/Observer unit for the first time. Even officers, who have been away from the skill for a while are also afforded a chance to re-learn the basics of the sniper rifle, and become both proficient and safe in its deployment. This course covers fundamentals of marksmanship, ballistics, ammunition selection and usage, shooting positions, effects of weather, data book set up and theory, team techniques, known distance range firing from 100 to 300 yds.

You will also be introduced to Unknown Distance shooting. This course will then progress to encompass all the relevant skills associated with sniper deployments, and the decision-making process of using the sniper rifle system.

Instructional Method: Our program consists of a balanced mix of classroom sessions and hands-on training. We focus on practical training sessions during the entire training program.
