Course Description

The Cornerstone Performance Patrol Marksman course is designed to help officers fill the capability gap that exists between a patrol officer and a SWAT sniper.  We'll learn to exploit the capability of a patrol rifle equipped with an LPVO (or other magnified optic) using real world barricade support positions on full and partial targets from 75-300 yards.

We'll cover:

  • Equipment selection and setup
  • Patrol optimized zeroing
  • Overall potential cone of fire.  What it is and why it matters.
  • Barricade support positions.  How to build a stable and durable position quickly.
  • Real world, practical range estimation exercises.
  • Holdovers.  Knowing EXACTLY where your round will land from 50-300  yards.
  • Live fire application on uknown distance full and high risk partial targets from 75-300 yards with first round hits from real world positions.
     

 

Student Requirements

  • AR15 with a magnified optic (LPVO, ACOG style optic, or RDS and magnifier are all acceptable)
  • 500 rounds of reliable ammunition.  Bring duty rounds or practice ammo that is substantially similar to your duty round (example--they're both 75grain rounds with similar velocity).
  • 3 magazines and a sling
  • Clothing and water / snacks suitable for a day on the range
  • Eye and hearing protection
  • Strongly suggested for zeroing but not required--Shooting mat, bipod, rear bag.  At a minimum bring a backpack you can use as a rest.
  • Kneepads are strongly recommended.

I will have a booth at the vendor show where I'll be properly mounting optics for free.  Please bring your rifle and optic by and I'll get you properly mounted before class starts.
