Warrior Poet Society Mid-Range Rifle Marksman Training Course Overview
This 2-day Designated Marksman Rifle (DMR) course is built around teaching how to exploit the mid-range capabilities (100-600 yards) of the AR platform. Taught by a US Special Forces Sniper Instructor, we are going to take your rifle work to the next level. We will allow you to take the AR platform you have and capitalize on its inherent accuracy with maximum effectiveness. Topics covered will include rifle setup, basic ballistics, positional shooting, and an intro to wind reading. In this course you will become capable of stretching the legs on your AR platform out to 600 yards with reliability and confidence.
Class will be led by US Special Forces Sniper Instructor Josh Kent
