Confirm zero and trajectory from prone while instructors diagnose scope tracking, mounting, torque, ammunition consistency, and shooter mechanics. Your corrected truing inputs become the data for every engagement that follows.

Five targets from 300 to 700 yards, scored on the 20-point Cadre system. No instructor wind calls. You own the range, read, calculation, and shot.

Define, measure, and shrink the moving envelope of the reticle. Learn acceptable wobble, balance-point technique, and how to diagnose four different sources of movement.

Understand tripod and head selection by application, then use Height, Orientation, Length, Drag, and Stance to remove guesswork from every build.

Standing, high kneeling, low kneeling, and seated at 100 yards. Slow fire isolates inputs; build-and-break reps make the setup repeatable.

Carry HOLDS and the Shooter's Checklist to real targets and real wind while instructors circulate, observe, and diagnose.

Five targets from 300 to 700 yards. Standing is mandated for targets one and two, high kneeling for three and four, and low kneeling or seated for target five.

Use balance-point technique to build low standing, mid-height kneeling, and modified prone on barricades, tires, tank traps, rocks, fences, vehicles, and match props.

Rotate through every prop under a clock. You cannot over-optimize one familiar build; the process has to carry the load.

Compare tripod rear, bag rear, and hybrid systems, then see how rear support changes wobble, recoil management, and your ability to spot impacts.

Engage at distance with tripod rear or rear support until the setup most shooters avoid becomes one they can build on demand.

Expand TREAD with wind angles, true value, gradients, mirage, and aerodynamic jump. Calculate your personal Gun Number for a fast hold without a calculator.

Engage using Gun Number only, then reverse-engineer wind from observed impacts. Every rep becomes a useful entry in your personal wind database.

Five targets from 300 to 700 yards with a laser rangefinder and no wind assistance. Instructor-dictated order and a two-target maximum per position force at least three distinct builds.

Go deeper on trajectory validation, DSF, spin drift, Coriolis, and the environmental inputs that matter so you can recognize when the solver is wrong.

Five targets from 600 to 1,200 yards. Prone removes the positional variable so the day's wind and ballistics work can be measured cleanly.

Disassemble and reassemble your rifle, then re-zero inside a fixed time and round count. Owning the rifle means being able to rebuild and confirm it under pressure.

Deploy and engage the Cadre Positional Target from all four benchmarks. With wind and gravity largely removed, the score measures position quality, HOLDS, and checklist discipline.

Repeat the five-target, 300-to-700-yard mandated-position course and measure the result directly against your Day 1 run.

Repeat the UKD course with instructor-dictated engagement order and no more than two targets from any one position.

Five targets, five required builds: low standing, mid kneeling, modified prone, tripod rear, and low kneeling or high prone. Every adaptive skill is tested once.

Learn stage briefs, par times, prop transitions, round management, and the decisions that keep a good stage from becoming a burned one.

Work through blind stage entry, unknown target location and distance, target acquisition, and position selection using RANGE ME as the framework.
