Description
K&M Precision Rifle Training offers a 3-day Advanced Alumni – Competition combination course designed for shooters that have trained with us in the past. This course is designed for formally trained and/or very experienced students. The course will evaluate and train on a series of complex exercises and drills commonly seen in today’s precision rifle competitions and in practical complex shooting scenarios. The K&M staff will provide professional mentorship and hands-on instruction to improve your baseline performance and take you to the next level. This course will utilize the entire K&M Shooting Complex, fully taking advantage of the 12-plus ranges on site. Students that complete the course will have proficiency in firearm safety, firearm handling under stress conditions, advanced marksmanship fundamentals, a combined knowledge of their personal capabilities with their equipment, and systematic training methods for future progression. This course does not have any formal classroom instruction and is designed for shooters that have the basics and some advanced concepts down but are not satisfied with their current training program. It is not an introductory course by any means and students that wish to attend must have attended our Comprehensive or Competition Preparation Course. Please contact us if you need assistance in selecting the right course or think you may qualify for this course before signing up.
K&M utilizes combat-proven and competitively accomplished cadre. The diversification of our instructors provides a broad perspective and the best talent available from Special Operations, Law Enforcement, Military Sniper Instructors, and the highest-ranked Civilian PRS Competitors. This unique blend of expertise and experience, combined with a dedicated and purpose-built facility, is simply unrivaled. It allows us to offer the most efficient and professional training available. See the About Us page for more information on K&M instructors and/or the Shooting Complex page for more information.

Our events/courses are very fast-paced and we don’t want you or others slowed or potentially limited by the wrong equipment. If you have any doubts or just want to check with us please contact us. Once the event begins it is impossible to fix any deficiencies, especially if all of our house guns are rented out. Custom GA Precision Rifles are available for rental for those attending our events. Match ammunition is also available for purchase. Please reserve house guns and ammunition during registration as quantities are limited.
