SPR / DMR

2 Day Course - $550

Spend 2 days learning to engage targets from 100 to 600 yards with your scoped AR15 rifle. The Special Purpose Rifle fills the gap between the Rifleman and the Sniper. With his SPR or DMR, the Designated Marksman is charged with operating within the normal ranges of an Infantry Rifleman and beyond, providing precision fires on point targets in support of his element. The ideal rifle and scope combination for this course is an AR15 with a 14.5 inch barrel or greater and with a scope of 8X magnification or more. A ballistic reticle such as a Horus is preferred.

Please have reticles that are Mil, not MOA only.
