Details

Course Name

Precision Rifle 301 — Advanced Practical Rifle

Course Code

PR301

Target Student

Experienced shooters, competitors, serious hunters, law enforcement, military, and tactical marksmen who already shoot positions and call wind.

Course Length

1 day, 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM (≈7 hours). The capstone day of the 3-day stacked program — see Program Structure below.

Prerequisites

PR201 or equivalent proven ability: stable positions on demand, working wind method, clean timed multi-position stages.

Class Size

1 instructor per 4 students. Ideal 6 students for tight feedback under time.

 

Program Structure

PR301 is the third and final day of the stacked Precision Rifle core program. The program runs as three one-day courses from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM:

  • 1-Day Course: PR101 only.
  • 2-Day Course: PR101 + PR201.
  • 3-Day Course: PR101 + PR201 + PR301 (this course is Day 3).

PR301 assumes everything from PR101 and PR201 is in place. Because it is a single capstone day, ELR is introduced as a concepts block and extended-distance live fire is run only when range conditions and equipment allow; students who want depth in ELR continue to the standalone ELR Clinic.

Course Goal

Develop advanced target engagement under time, uncertainty, and changing wind. Students learn unknown-distance engagement, range estimation, rapid engagement and target transitions, advanced and bracketed wind calls, an introduction to ELR concepts, miss management, and disciplined shooter/spotter teamwork — then apply all of it under stress and time.

Learning Objectives

On completion the student will be able to:

  • Detect and estimate range to unknown-distance targets and build a firing solution.
  • Engage targets rapidly while maintaining acceptable hit standards.
  • Transition between multiple targets efficiently and accurately.
  • Build and correct dope under time, including on-the-fly solver use.
  • Make advanced wind calls across changing conditions and apply a correction plan.
  • Apply ELR concepts: scope travel, transonic effects, vertical dispersion, and data validation at distance.
  • Manage misses with a deliberate correction sequence rather than guessing.
  • Operate effectively as shooter and as spotter in a two-person team.
  • Solve mission/stage-style shooting problems under time limits and stress.

2. Gear

Required Gear

  • Proven precision rifle and scope with adequate elevation travel for the ranges used; confirmed zero and validated dope.
  • Tripod, bipod, rear bag, and at least one support bag.
  • Laser rangefinder (handheld or binocular).
  • Ballistic solver with a validated profile; Kestrel or weather source.
  • 250–350 rounds of consistent match ammunition.
  • Eye and ear protection; kneepads; data book.
  • Shot timer.

Recommended Gear

  • Binocular rangefinder with ballistic integration.
  • Spotting scope on a tripod for spotter duty and trace.
  • Second rifle or backup data card.
  • Heavier or higher-BC ammunition if attempting ELR steel.
  • Magnetic dope card / arm board for fast reference under time.
  • Comms (radios) for team movement problems if the range layout supports it.

3. Estimated Round Count

Plan for 150–200 rounds for the day. ELR live fire, when run, draws from the buffer and the wind block.
