BHTCorps - 2 Day Precision Rifle SE PA, Apr 10-11

[fargo007]

Black Hat Training Corps (http://bhtcorps.com) is running a two day precision rifle training course.

Full details and registration at:

http://bhtcorps.com/041010reg.html

This two day course incorporates engagements from 100 to 600 yards, and is tailored to the new, or intermediate skill level shooter who is interested in building solid fundamentals, shaking out the proper use of their gear, de-mystifying the trajectory and range estimation math, and encroaching into intermediate territory with moving targets, holdovers, and popups. Round count is what you want to shoot. We recommend 75 per day.

Day 1 (LRGC) will be comprised of classroom instruction, chronograph work, and zeroing at 100/200 yards. Day 2 will be at NHRPC (600 yards) and will be live fire all day.

Concepts to be covered include:


# BRM Review (Basic Rifle Marksmanship Fundamentals, precision rifle specifics of BRM)
# Setting up your shooting position
# Properly recording your engagement data in a data book (we can provide impact data books tuned to the course)
# Communication and terminology
# Spotter-shooter communication and dialogue
# How to give the shooter information - properly calling hits and misses
# Zeroing - Establishing and maintaining a good precision rifle zero
# Equipment choices for the precision shooter
# Optics, focal planes
# How to avoid three common MISStakes with optics.
# Care and maintenance of the precision rifle platform
# Exterior Ballistics, MET/ENV, and the science of trajectory calculation
# Using a chronograph, and a ballistic calculator
# Reticle based range estimation
# Reticle based holds (against wind, for elevation)
# Introduction to moving target engagements
# Making the most out of uneven ground, or unusual circumstances
# Rapid Bolt Engagement drills
# Unusual/Hasty Position shooting

Cost is a very reasonable $220 which includes lunch on day 1 (with homemade baked ziti).

Price to follow on the data book

Particular questions about gear suitability and the course are entertained at

Do you offer rifle rentals? If so what will the total cost be including the course?

I apologize but our insurance carrier prohibits us from furnishing ammunition or firearms.

Any chance you will be holding another precision rifle class this year?

I would also be interested in knowing if this class will be offered again a little later in the year.

Hi guys,

We sure will. Upcoming courses will be listed on the website. As far as precision courses go, look for another basic precision, and also an all UKD course coming up.

I checked the calendar - there's only one Precision Rifle Fundamentals course listed for 2010, and nothing at all showing for 2011.

So are you planning to have another Precision Rifle Fundamentals class, and if so - when?

Tnx!

Hi,

There will definitely be another one. It should be another two day course in the fall. September or October. I don't like to post it on the calendar unless I have it engraved in stone with the facility and we are still working that out.

The facility is always the hardest part of putting a course together. We would certainly go mobile if anyone could broker suitable land or a host facility.

Could you PM me or post here (whatever's more appropriate for you) the requirements for going mobile (i.e. how many students minimum, minimal acceptable range distance, hotel requirements & costs, etc)? I'll be happy to ask around in my area (Eastern MA) whether one of our clubs would be willing and able to host it.

I attended this course and can say it was fantastic. The price was very reasonable and the education was great. 1/2 day of classroom instruction, enough to get all the necessary details. No Fluff just good info. Then half a day of shorter range work 100-200 yards to get everyone squared away. Day 2 was the best part. 300-600 yard shots including movers. Including a pit system with target markers. All instruction was top notch, feedback and advice was always well thought out and easy to understand. This class is a great introduction to long range tactical shooting it will get you the fundamentals needed to shoot better and farther with confidence. If you get a chance take this course.

I also attended the course and had a great experience. The course was well organized. The classwork time was well orchestrated with powerpoint presentations on Mildot versus MOA scopes and covered all aspects of the fundamentals of bolt action rifle handling and shooting.

The ranges were top notch and the student to Instructor ratio was 6-8 students to each instructor. This course is a must for anyone interested in extending their range from 300yds to 600yds and for stationary to moving targets.

Thanks again and I look forward to getting information on the next long range rifle course being offered by Black Hat Corp.
