NEED INPUT FROM YOU RUSS ON A GOOD PARA OR TWO AS TO WHAT WE WILL DO DIFFERENT & WHY FOLKS SHOULD SET ASIDE TIME/$ FOR THIS COURSE.
Looking around the net these days, you find several precision rifle courses available, most taught by great fellow Americans. Unfortunately, most don't focus on the core marksmanship fundamentals. To add to the issue, a bulk of the ranges these courses are taught at do not have target systems that can give each student accurate feedback with each shot, show & measure group sizes, etc., a critical need for folks tracking improvement from drill to drill or day today.
Course date: January 5-7, 2021
Tuition: $900.00 per person (Lodging in the barracks included)
