## Precision Hunter

Course Brief: This two-day class is for experienced rifle shooters wanting the skills and knowledge for longer range ethical shots out to 500 yards. It applies to many different aspects of marksmanship including military / law enforcement, competition, and hunting. Anyone interested in placing precision fire on targets under imposed stress will learn the art and science involved in doing so in this course. We will teach you to make solid hits from the prone, sitting, kneeling, with sticks, off your pack, with tripod and even out of vehicles.

THIS IS NOT A BASIC COURSE. As with all our ADVANCED courses, it has a relatively complex curriculum. Students that complete the course will have proficiency in handling a firearm under stress conditions, advanced marksmanship fundamentals, and a combined confidence and knowledge of their personal capabilities with their equipment.

The course concludes with our Spot and Stalk qualification. Requiring shooters to find targets, range them and then engage them in a predefined time under induced stress out to 500 yards. All students will receive a certificate of attendance. Those who achieve an 80% or better score on the qualification course will also receive a certificate of qualification.
