Advanced Sniper

About This Course

This 5-day course builds on the foundation provided by Basic Sniper instruction and takes a basic sniper/marksman to the next level of training and proficiency. After a review of the elements of the Basic Sniper course, the course moves into advanced sniper techniques by focusing on longer range engagements, as well as field-craft in both a rural and urban setting. The course was designed to develop advanced sniper tactics and skills and provides opportunities to shoot in scenarios developed to challenge the student sniper’s marksmanship and tactical decision making skills. The goal of this course is to give the successful graduate the necessary tools to be an effective sniper in all conditions from a law enforcement or military perspective.
