§ 01

Three paths.
Same standard.

Foundation, Competition Intro, Performance. Same coaches and same standard — different starting points. Pick the lane that matches the work in front of you.

01

Foundation

Built and taught by Marine Scout Sniper instructors. You leave not knowing about precision shooting, but doing it.

  • The precision rifle system & proper setup
  • Optics: mil/MOA, tracking, return-to-zero
  • Cycle of operations & natural point of aim
  • Ballistics, your dope & wind to ~700 yd
02

Competition Intro

The jump from the flat range to the stage. You leave able to plan a stage, shoot it on the clock, and debrief yourself.

  • PRS & NRL Hunter formats and rules
  • Stage planning & managing the clock
  • Positional shooting off barricades & props
  • A repeatable wind process with a Kestrel
03

Performance

For the shooter tired of living in the middle of the pack. You leave able to diagnose your own misses and close the gap between practice and performance.

  • The 8-step shooter's checklist under pressure
  • Advanced positions: barricades & tripod
  • Refined wind reading on unknown distance
  • Self-diagnosis: trigger-cam & timed standards

§ 04

Proven training.
Real results.

Four working principles, drawn from a decade of teaching shooters who came to get better. These do not change between classes, ranges, or seasons.

I

Process over outcome.

We don't train you to chase a hit. We build a repeatable shot process and drill it until it runs on its own. Trust the process and the hits follow — under pressure, that's the only thing that holds.

II

Understand the why.

Anyone can hand you a list of fundamentals to memorize. We teach the reasoning behind each one, so when conditions are not textbook you can diagnose yourself and adapt instead of guess.

III

Diagnose, don't react.

Every shot gets called and accounted for — where you held, what you saw, what the wind and the dirt told you. No excuses, no luck. You leave able to troubleshoot your own miss.

IV

Precision through chaos.

Field positions, real terrain, real wind, a clock running. Square ranges build false confidence. We put you in the uncomfortable spots on purpose so the shot still breaks clean when the plan falls apart.

§ 05

Before you sign up.

The four questions we get most often, answered the way we would answer them on the phone.

Foundation courses are for newer shooters or anyone rebuilding fundamentals. Competition Intro is for shooters with a zero and basic rifle handling who want to learn match flow. Performance courses are for experienced competitors looking to sharpen wind calls and execution. Not sure where you fit? Contact us and we'll point you in the right direction.
