Course Description:

This 1-Day Clinic is designed for those that are looking for a tune-up when it comes to shooting off their bellies. Tripods, barricades, terrain…whatever props we have to work with…expect to shoot off it. If operable, I will use a scope camera and monitor to demonstrate and teach what exactly I am trying to get you to see. This clinic is open to all weapon systems (bolt or gasser). This clinic is NOT focused on rifle set up, fundamentals in prone, or ballistics/wind. Shooter must be capable of showing up with knowledge to be self-sufficient in operating/maintaining their rifle safely, zeroing, validating their own trajectories, and at least have a basic understanding of accounting for wind. The class will begin with open range time to allow each of you to confirm your rifles are ready to go for the day. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that the shooter has attended some formal course previously (The Cadre, Veles Industries, Ridgeline Defense, Modern Day Sniper, etc.)
