Long Range Precision 1 & 2

This course starts with a three day LONG RANGE PRECISION 1 course, taught by Defenders USA instructors Russell Anthon, Myles Standish, Hank Ownbey, and Adam Winch at the incredible Cameo Shooting & Education Complex in Cameo, CO. The course then moves into a two day LONG RANGE PRECISION 2, all of which is on the range.

A classroom portion will be held most of the first day, with the rest of the course on the zero and long distance ranges (out to 2,003 yards.).
This is not a bench rest shooting class. This is a field conditions class and we will rarely be shooting from a bench.

COURSE LENGTH:
Approx. 40 to 45 hours (5 days)

COURSE OVERVIEW:
The LRP 1 course is designed to expose students to the proper deployment and techniques for long range precision rifle applications.

Topics will include optics and adjustments, fundamentals of marksmanship, application of fire, environmental effects and weapons maintenance. This course of instruction will stress the fundamentals of marksmanship and precision shooting. Practical range training will include shooting targets at known and unknown distances, range estimation, various challenging courses of fire, and more.

Then LRP 2 will move into unconventional positional shooting, shooting at “snaps” and moving targets, high angle shooting, , hold unders, and more, while also utilizing all aspects of what was learned in LRP1.
