Overview
Advanced Precision Rifle assumes your fundamentals are established and challenges them. This course extends your capability in every direction — farther distances, less stable positions, more demanding environmental conditions, and the kind of performance pressure that reveals whether your skills are actually internalized or just practiced in ideal conditions.
You'll develop a full ballistic data card for your specific rifle and load, work through positional shooting challenges that replicate field conditions, and refine your wind-reading to the point where you're making first-round hits at distance with confidence rather than luck.
Curriculum
Ballistic Data Development
Building a complete DOPE (Data on Previous Engagements) card for your specific rifle, load, and environmental conditions. Truing your ballistic solution, understanding density altitude, and using a ballistic solver correctly.
Extended Range Shooting
Pushing to 500, 600, and 800+ yards (range dependent). How your fundamentals adapt at distance, reading trace and impacts, and the patience that long-range precision demands.
Positional Shooting
Shooting from prone without a bipod, sitting, kneeling, and standing using field-expedient support. The positions you'll actually use in competition stages and hunting scenarios.
Wind Reading at Distance
Advanced mirage reading, multi-wind-call environments, reading the full-value wind column, and building the confidence to make a commitment on a wind call rather than guessing.
Cold-Bore & First-Round Hits
The cold-bore shot — what it is, why it matters, and how to know your rifle's cold-bore deviation. Building the discipline and pre-shot process that delivers first-round hits under real conditions.
Stage & Field Application
Competition-style stage problems with time limits and positional requirements. Field hunting scenarios. Debrief covers both mechanical performance and decision-making under pressure.
Capstone Assessment & Training Plan
Performance benchmarks at multiple distances. Honest assessment of current capability, specific development areas, and a written training plan for continued improvement.
