Law Enforcement Basic Sniper/Observer School
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 setup and theory, team techniques, and known distance range firing from 100 to 300 yds.
You will also be introduced to Unknown Distance shooting and moving targets. 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.
