Endstate: Designated Marksman I is focused on individuals who desire to improve their abilities to maintain precise fire beyond the 100 yard zero. The course will reaffirm basic knowledge concerning internal/external ballistics and marksmanship fundamentals. Thus, ensuring everyone has the necessary knowledge to build a solid shooting position and the ability to determine shot placement based off of external factors. Knowing these subjects will enable shooters to achieve accurate and precise fires at different ranges.
In alliance with our beliefs, Max Ordinate training is held to a standard, not a timeline. Designated Marksman is held over a 2 day period and participants should plan on being at the range from 8:00 AM till dusk.
Also, students will be afforded the rare opportunity to conduct a night optic familiarization fire. Appropriate optics will be provided by the instructors for this portion.
Additionally, during the course all students have the opportunity to purchase a US Optics at 30% off. You can view US Optics products here http://www.usoptics.com/
