Course Code

FRE-1

Track

Specialty Clinic — Field & Hunter

Target Student

Hunters and field competitors preparing for NRL Hunter-style matches, or any shooter who wants ethical, repeatable field marksmanship on unforgiving terrain.

Course Length

1 day (8 training hours). 

Prerequisites

PR101 fundamentals or equivalent; confirmed zero and basic dope. PR201 recommended for positional speed.

Class Size

1 instructor per 4 students. Ideal 6–8 students with a lead and an assistant instructor.

Program Structure

FRE-1 is a standalone specialty clinic, not part of the stacked Precision Rifle core progression. It assumes the fundamentals taught in PR101 are already in place and applies them to field problems: unknown ground, unknown distance, and a running clock.

Students who complete FRE-1 and want deeper positional and wind work continue into PR201 and PR301. Students moving toward duty or mission employment continue into the Tactical / Sniper Clinic.

Why This Clinic

Most field marksmanship fails long before the trigger breaks. The shooter cannot find the target, cannot trust the range, or builds a position the ground will not hold. FRE-1 attacks that sequence directly, on terrain that does not cooperate.

  • Real ground, not a flat square range. More than 1,000 acres of slopes, brush, pine ridgelines, and cross-valley wind corridors. You do not choose where you shoot from.

  • Field weights and real gear. You train with the rifle and pack you actually carry, because stability changes the moment the gun gets lighter.

  • Graded on the shot that matters. Every drill is scored on the cold first-round impact, under a clock, from a support you were told to use.

  • Ethics taught as a standard. The decision to pass on a low-confidence shot is trained, graded, and expected.

Course Goal

Build practical field rifle skill that holds up when the ground, the light, and the clock are all working against the shooter: finding and ranging targets, building fast positions on natural terrain, managing a stage clock, making field wind calls, and delivering a first-round impact — using realistic hunting gear and field weights.

Learning Objectives

On completion the student will be able to:

  • Find and identify targets in field terrain under time.

  • Range targets quickly with a laser and confirm a firing solution.

  • Build fast, stable positions from pack, tripod, sling, and natural support.

  • Manage a short time limit per stage.

  • Make field wind calls and prioritize a first-round impact.

  • Choose rifle weight and gear appropriate to field shooting.

  • Apply ethical field shooting standards, including the decision to pass.

2. Gear

Required Gear

  • Field/hunting precision rifle and scope with confirmed zero and validated dope.

  • Laser rangefinder; binoculars.

  • Pack suitable for shooting support; sling; tripod if used.

  • Rear/support bag.

  • 100 -150 rounds of match or hunting ammunition.

  • Eye and ear protection; field-appropriate clothing.

Recommended Gear

  • Binocular rangefinder with ballistic integration.

  • tripod with a clamp, plate, or saddle.

  • Arca rail or clamp on the rifle.

  • Kestrel or other weather source and a ballistic solver.

  • Kneepads and a small notebook or data book.
