Starting with a Fundamental Eval, the course covers a 20 point checklist. The course begins with two attendees demonstrating their current knowledge of precision rifle shooting fundamentals. The course then expands on the Fundamentals of Marksmanship through discussion, breaking down the key points, leading students into the Shot Process.
The Shot Process is a series of steps, helping shooters focus on key shooting elements, while avoiding high level mistakes commonly associated with over-thinking and more rigid "rules". The Shot Process's design opens up a shooter’s possibilities, versus the limitations of rules that limit a student's abilities. The Fundamentals are the building blocks of precision rifle shooting, and combining the Fundamentals of Marksmanship and the Shot Process gives shooters a solid foundation, regardless of the context.
Ending the course, a demonstration of Weaponized Math. Weaponized Math dopes gravity from shot to shot, eliminating the use of numerous individualized inputs for dope. Weaponized Math gives the shooter a starting point and final solution that's easy to understand. Using Weaponized Math first, the students then align ballistic solvers to pre-trued data, cutting out the trial and error aspects and avoiding lists of confusing inputs.
