Performance
Close the gap from mid-pack to the front.
Performance is our Level 2 — for the shooter who's already got a repeatable process and is tired of living in the middle of the pack. This isn't new tricks or a secret technique. It's ruthless refinement: taking the fundamentals you already own and making them hold up under pressure, in the wind, off unconventional props, against the clock. Taught by Marine Scout Sniper instructors with 50+ years behind precision rifles. You leave able to diagnose your own misses and shrink the gap between practice and performance.

Already in the game.
Performance is for the shooter who's already got the basics down — you've competed, your prone process is automatic, your recoil management is clean, and you can navigate a ballistic solver without thinking about it. You're tired of living in the middle of the pack and you know there's a breakthrough you're missing. This is where you find it.
This is not a first-timer's class. If your idea of improvement is a lighter trigger, start with Foundation and build some actual skills. The shooters who get the most here are hungry to deconstruct their own performance and honest enough to face their limitations.
Four arcs, taught in order.
We don't teach you something new — we refine what you already own. From the shot process, to positions, to wind, to the mental game, every block strips away comfort and exposes the fundamentals under pressure.
The repeatable shot process
We start by sharpening the process you already run. Our 8-step Shooter's Checklist takes you from orienting the rifle, to building position, to natural point of aim, parallax, wind call, and trigger control — every shot, the same way. It all collapses into one mantra under pressure: breathe, reticle, squeeze, freeze. The goal isn't to learn it — it's to make it so automatic your body executes while your brain reads the problem.
The Positional Triangle & solving the prop
Every position you build comes down to three things: comfort, stability, and recoil management — in that order. We use the Positional Triangle to build solid positions on barricades, obstacles, and unconventional supports, then add a tripod and the standing/kneeling/sitting work where most shooters fall apart. You'll learn to square up, load the rifle rearward instead of muscling it, and shrink a wobble zone that's bouncing like Pong back down to a manageable hold.
Refined wind, on demand
Wind is where matches are won and lost. We work the full wind-calling process — read it at your position, compare it at the target, bracket a minimum and maximum, and commit. You'll deepen the gun number, read terrain and mirage between you and the target, account for crosswind jump, and make calls on unknown distance. The aim is a confident wind call regardless of the range you're at — proactive, not reactive.
The mental game & measuring performance
Fundamentals fall apart the moment a timer beeps. We build the mental systems to hold your process under stress, then teach you to measure what's actually happening: film yourself, track wobble zones, time-to-position, and transitions — not just hits and misses. You'll learn structured practice that turns limited range time into real gains, and how to debrief a stage so the next rep is better than the last.
The curriculum.
The full Level 2 syllabus — the shot process, advanced positions, refined wind, the mental game, and the self-diagnosis that turns range time into real gains. Every block ends with you proving it under pressure.
The 8-Step Shooter's Checklist
- Orient the rifle, build position, align elbows/hips/feet
- Natural point of aim, parallax & a deliberate wind call
- 90° trigger control & a clean firing sequence
- The mantra under pressure: breathe, reticle, squeeze, freeze
Positional Triangle & Post-Shot
- Comfort, stability, recoil management — in that order
- Square up, load rearward, drive the gun instead of fighting it
- Follow-through, calling your shot & a second sight picture
- Reading impacts and applying the right correction
Advanced Positional Shooting
- Barricades, obstacles & unconventional support structures
- Tripod technique and the standing/kneeling/sitting work
- Recoil management from unstable positions
- Fast, precise transitions between positions and targets
Refined Wind Reading
- Read at your position, compare at the target, then commit
- Bracket a minimum and maximum, dial or hold the call
- The gun number deepened — terrain, mirage & crosswind jump
- Elevation and windage calls on unknown distance
The Mental Game
- Mental systems to hold your process under stress
- Stage planning and strategy — no random reps
- Performing on the clock without rushing the build
- A mock stage to prove it all under real pressure
Self-Diagnosis & Measuring
- Trigger-cam: film yourself and watch the truth
- Track wobble zone, time-to-position & transitions
- Build-and-break and timed standards for structured practice
- A debrief habit and a training plan that actually means something
Capabilities, not notes.
By the last afternoon, a miss isn't a mystery — it's a problem you can name and correct. Here's what you'll be able to do on your own when you leave.
- Run your complete shot process — position to follow-through — consistently across varied scenarios
- Build stable positions from barricades, obstacles & unconventional supports
- Manage a wobble zone across positions while holding acceptable precision
- Read wind across changing terrain and adjust your firing solution in real time
- Make accurate elevation and windage calls on unknown-distance targets
- Transition between positions and targets quickly without losing precision
- Diagnose your own misses and apply a minimum-correction adjustment
- Hold your process — and your fundamentals — under time pressure
- Build a personal training plan and measure progress that actually means something
What to bring.
A complete precision rifle setup capable of under 1 MOA with a rough zero, a precision optic (MOA or MIL) with an anti-cant level, bipod, rear bag, two magazines, a ballistic solver (Hornady 4DOF is free), note-taking material, and 400 rounds of match-grade ammunition. A tripod, chronograph, wind meter, and a phone mini-tripod for trigger-cam are recommended. A full gear list — required, recommended, and personal sustainment — is sent the moment you register. Come with Intro-to-Competition-level skills: a process that runs on its own and clean recoil management from the prone.
Taught by former Marine Scout Sniper instructors with PRS podium and match wins on the record — guys who shoot the drill in front of you before they ask you to. No magic, no gimmicks. Just ruthless refinement, proven on the range.
