In precision gas gun matches, accuracy is critical, but speed is everything. Speed comes from economy of movement and efficiency in the shooting process. This class will introduce and explore fundamentals and strategies that will improve your performance at long range gas gun matches as well as enhance your abilities as a scoped carbine marksman.

This class is not an intro class. It is assumed that you know how to set up and safely operate your rifle. We assume you have dope or an accurate ballistic calculator. We will do a quick review for zero, dope, and ballistic solvers, but it is expected that students have a degree of familiarity with these concepts prior to taking the class.

In this class we will cover:
