Building on the fundamentals, this 2-day class adds a new skill set to the scoped rifle shooter’s toolbox.
Working in shooter/spotter teams, students will be challenged to apply the concepts and techniques needed to make observations and give corrections for other shooters.
Students are required to have attended our Scoped Rifle Elements class or an equivalent class taught by a recognized school (please contact us if you have any questions on this).

Topics Covered Include:
- Fundamentals of precision rifle Spotter skills and shooter/spotter team fundamentals
- Assignment of tasks for each member
- Successfully ranging targets and formulating firing solutions
- Efficiently making accurate calls and corrections
