New Shooter Precision Rifle 1 Class

Play video: New Shooter Precision Rifle 1 Class

Hey guys, new shooter Dan here.

I recently got the chance to go to Sniper Country for the Precision Rifle 1 Class, an introductory to long range shooting.

While I was there, I had the opportunity to get some great instruction on shooting position, mechanics, and environmental factors like windage and temperature.

I had a great time, and by the end of the weekend was engaging targets consistently out to about 800 yards with the DTA’s SRS Covert in .308.

I also shot some “before and after” groupings at 100 yards (more to show improvement in mechanics and trigger control than anything else).

What do you think? Any suggestions or advice for me?

-Dan

They immediately rewrote their sniper rifle requirements, and all of the other companies were left behind. These are the problems we faced and how we solved them.
