Course Description
This course is designed to help students discover gunfighting principles through dynamic reality-based training drills. Using force on force, students will discover mistakes made in the engagement phase and how to properly use team members. Instructors will film extensively, allowing students the chance to study and review their effectiveness under pressure. We will address range training scars that are highlighted during the force on force exercises and work to remedy them during live range drills. We will introduce low light gunfighting and proper use of equipment- be prepared to have your gear setup tested!
The goal is for students to have a better understanding of fighting principles, allowing them to return to their departments and self-diagnose the effectiveness of their current team tactics during a gunfight. Theories will be tested, concepts will be proven or disproven, all for the benefit of the operator and his teammate.

Course Description
This 5-day Instructor Certification level course is optimally designed for police snipers on SWAT teams who are wanting to begin a 50 Cal program or have a program and want to verify and/or validate their current training. Current domestic & international terrorist trends dictate a need to increase the deployment of large caliber rifles in support of SWAT teams and for overwatch positions at public venues and large-scale events. The continued use of vehicles as weapons overseas and in the homeland can be mitigated or potentially stopped through the proper deployment of large caliber rifles. This course is conducted in a crawl, walk, run progression and will enable the student to apply the curriculum learned back at their agencies for immediate use. All topics covered are relevant to deploying large caliber rifles in non-permissive environments. Instructor certification will be effective for 3 years from the date of training. Re-certification will be offered. Course is ideal for experience police snipers who are in an instructing role for their team.
Course Topics:
Large Caliber Fundamentals of Marksmanship
Proper Ammunition Selection & Application
Ballistic App Intro
50 Cal Rifle Standards
Rifle Rest/Tripod Utilization & Deployment
Large Caliber Overwatch
