"Now for the big question that everyone is thinking, would I recommend this class to anyone. The answer is YES I would. I am so confident in Johns teaching that I would have no problem recommending him to all my buddies. I want to put my wife through his course that is how confident I am with his teaching."

" The first thing the cadre wanted to do was make sure my rifle and scope was set up for me. They went through every thing from the butt stock length to scope placement and proper eye relief. Once everything was set they took the time to make sure everything was loc-tite down in the proper place. As the cadre adjusted the butt stock, scope mount, and scope he explained what I should be seeing and how I should be comfortable."

Description:
  day Optic Course will focus on Advanced Mil-Dot / MOA reticle use in the classroom and on the range. We will teach the shooter the skills to employ their reticle at all distances. The course will consist of a mix of classroom instruction, and practical application with live fire training. We will start training at 0800 and end at 1600.

The classroom portion will focus on exterior ballistics and how to adjust the riflescope to engage targets. Once we move to the range we will use all the lessons of the classroom to practical use. On the range we will learn how to range estimate, hold off's and muti-target engagements.

This class is not a shooting class!!!! Very little marksmanship training will be given!!!!

This is a student-paced course; there will not be any time to waste but we will assure all students fully understand the subject being taught. Come prepared to work, learn and shoot!!
