Description
K&M’s Custom Long Range Precision Rifle Courses are designed specifically for you or your group. This private course provides a great opportunity to tailor a class to your specific needs and is perfect for corporate or family groups desiring privacy. Based on your goals and equipment our instructors will tailor their instruction to improve your long-range shooting skills in realistic situations from 100 to 1200 yards. Throughout your course, our staff will coach, teach, and mentor you culminating your training with practical exercises most common in precision rifle-based scenarios.
We conduct fast-paced courses (8+ hours per day) that are designed for novice and seasoned shooters alike. Based on your needs and goals, we can provide a variety of services during the course including options such as full equipment rental/purchase or proper equipment setup. Your course will be customized, beginning with safety and rapidly transitioning into equipment comprehension, fundamentals of advanced marksmanship, ballistics, wind reading, range estimation, alternate positions, moving targets, and target engagements from 100 -1200 yards. Private courses will utilize the entire K&M 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, and a combined knowledge of their personal capabilities with their equipment. Students will also leave with K&M’s systematic training methods for future progression.
