Long Range Precision 3


COURSE DESCRIPTION

Long Range Precision (LRP-3) is a Ballistic Technology Integration & Spotter Proficiency focused class where you spend as much time on the your ballistic app and spotting scope as you do your rifle. In LRP-3 we will teach you how to collect & utilize atmospheric / environmental data, and couple it with the ballistic capabilities of your projectile to achieve downrange accuracy. You are also given a top-notch wind reading class where we show you how to read mirage and the seen environmental / vegetation effects to determine wind effects on your round down range. We want you to bring all of your precision resources; i.e. Ballistic Phone Application, Range Finder, Spotting Scope, Kestrel, Chrono-Graph, etc…*Don’t worry if you are short on gear, we have a reasonable rental you can fall in on for course completion. We will culminate the day with you running spotter duties for a fellow student, and vice – versa, as you run them out to 1,000+ yards on the steel, all under the watchful eye and coaching of our world class instructors. Classroom instruction involves the following:
  • LR & ELR Theory
  • Advanced ballistics
  • Environmental & atmospheric effects
  • Ballistic solver/phone app utilization
  • Wind reading
  • Shooter/Spotter communication
  • Advanced spotter proficiency
We then move to the firing line where will:
  • Conduct dry fire drills
  • Confirm zero
  • Live fire LR & ELR target engagements
  • Solver utilization for self generated firing solutions
  • Student derived wind calls
  • Conduct spotter duties for fellow students
LRP-3 concludes with students conducting live fire target engagements on LR & ELR target’s based upon their own firing solutions and wind calls, as well as spotting for fellow students on the firing line
