About Us
Learn about our mission, heritage, and commitment to elevating precision shooting.
Our Mission
We are a team of Marine Scout Snipers and competitive shooters focused on one thing: making you a better shooter. No shortcuts, no gimmicks—just proven techniques and honest feedback.
Who we serve
We believe learning works best where expert guidance meets a supportive, down-to-earth environment. Whether you're in uniform, competing at the highest levels, or just starting out, we have a place for you.
The Cadre is here to help guide those seeking to improve their precision skills as we define the modern standard for marksmanship.
What you get
From the moment you step onto the range, you'll notice the difference in our training. We focus on techniques that are modern, scalable, and designed to deliver measurable results you can build upon.
We're here to challenge and encourage you every step of the way so you leave a better shooter than when you arrived. No ego, no overcomplicated jargon. Just solid training that gets results.
Our Core Values
The foundation of our approach to precision rifle training.
Military Heritage
Built by Scout Sniper instructors who spent years training Marines—now bringing that same standard to you.
Real-World Focus
We teach what actually works—techniques proven in the field, on the range, and in competition.
Community First
Training with us feels like joining a family. We challenge you, support you, and push you to get better.
How We Train
Becoming a better shooter isn't about secrets or shortcuts. It's about mastering the fundamentals, building on them consistently, and training with people who know what they're doing and can explain it clearly.
Fundamentals First
Every great shooter is built on solid fundamentals. We don't skip ahead to the flashy stuff—your basics get locked in before we build on top of them.
Scalable Techniques
The techniques we teach scale with your ability. A beginner can apply them immediately. An advanced shooter can refine them for marginal gains that matter.
Measurable Results
You should see your improvement. We track hits, misses, and help you understand why—not just that—you missed. If you don't leave measurably better, we haven't done our job.
Honest Feedback
We're not going to tell you a shot was good when it wasn't. Real improvement requires real feedback—what you're doing well, what needs work, and how to fix it.
The bottom line: Precision shooting is a skill. Like any skill, it can be taught, learned, and improved with proper instruction and dedicated practice. We're here to give you the instruction. The rest is up to you.
What We Expect From Students
We'll bring the expertise. Here's what we ask from you.
Come Ready to Learn
Leave your ego in the truck. Even if you've been shooting for years, come with an open mind. You might find out something you've been doing for a decade isn't optimal.
Put in the Work
We'll give you the techniques and the feedback. You have to put in the repetitions. Improvement comes from practice, not just attendance.
Ask Questions
If something doesn't make sense, ask. If you want to know why we do something a certain way, ask. Curious students become better shooters.
Support Your Classmates
We're all here for the same reason. Celebrate each other's hits, help troubleshoot misses, and make the training environment better for everyone.
