Intro to Precision Marksman establishes a strong foundation in the fundamentals of precision rifle marksmanship. Taking a structured approach, this course begins with rifle configuration, optics setup, and an understanding of units of measure as they apply to rifle shooting. Students will learn the fundamentals of marksmanship, their application as long-range marksmen, and proper zeroing procedures, culminating in practical application on the range.
