</span></span>
Any day spent at K&M Precision Rifle Training is a good one especially when you get to run their Advanced Long Range Precision Rifle Course. If this is something that you've considered doing and just haven't.... guys, you know who you are, do yourself a favor. Check them out @ http://kmprecisionrifletraining.com/. You'll love it.
<span style="text-decoration: underline"><span style="font-weight: bold">DAY 1</span></span>
The day began @ 0800. After a short intro, instructors Brian Morgan, Shannon Kay and Don Albares reviewed the high points of basic long range marksmanship. Then, in true K&M style, Shannon rapidly transitioned into the fundamentals of long range precision marksmanship, initially focusing on building a position that is both comfortable and <span style="font-weight: bold">consistent</span> on a per shooter basis.
Shannon harped on consistency in all aspects of your shot from position to sight alignment, trigger control, breathing and lastly your follow thought which I didn't appreciate until today.
We began from the 100 yd mark to check our "0s" and then a second time to <span style="font-weight: bold">confirm</span> and adjusted if needed and a third to re-confirm. We then shot from the 200 and 300 and were made to break position between shots further emphasizing the importance consistency.
Back in the classroom we covered reticle interpretation, range estimation and an intro to advanced ballistics. We were offered an optional chronograph session before heading to the tower where we stretched our guns out to near 1000yds. With the data gathered from the chronograph and the "dope" we confirmed at 1-2 and 300 yards, our spotters, Brian, Shannon and Don were able to walk us out to the 1000 yd targets, starting at 350yds and engaging targets along the way.
One last round through the classroom covered in depth advanced ballistics, hold overs, wind reads and other meteorological conditions that can/do have an effect on the flight of the bullet. We also reviewed physiological variables that were covered earlier in the day.
The last round of shooting, to me, was the most fun and most challenging. After practicing the course of fire we were made to engage multiple targets at multiple distance using only "holds" and we're given 45 sec to do so.
**Heres the deal guys, we all spend a lot of jack on gear for this hobby we love and we do this because we think better equipment will HELP make us better shooters. In my opinion, this class so far has been the most bang for my buck and were only through the first day!!
