    Sharpshooter training.....

    Started "civilian sniper" training today.....3 week course in advanced long-range shooting, stealth tactics, spotting, etc.....

    Pre-qualified "expert" on rifle....shocking both myself and my buddies (hit 39 of 40 from 4 different positions: prone 10/10, sitting 10/10, kneeling 10/10, standing 9/10)....

    Pistol was easy....390/400.....but I have to complete their training to receive the rifle cert anyway.....

    Should be an interesting course....6 other guys signed up, including Damocles....21 days of my favorite activity :) .....

                      Final week of school....

                      This week we lay the smack down on practical exams....today we received our scoring logs, qualifying ammo, and preparatory instruction manuals....

                      Scoring will be based on knowledge of qualifying weapons, accuracy, quality of weapon maintenance, method and speed of target acquisition, tactical efficiency and stealth....

                      I test Thursday on rifle and Saturday for pistol.....

                      Damocles tests tomorrow on rifle and Thursday for pistol.....I don't even know why they're testing the bastard....He's already shown up every instructor we have......the guy's a FREAK!

                        Update:

                        Dam' scored 40/40 @ 50...40/40 @ 100...40/40 @ 200...40/40 @ 400.....(prone, kneeling, sitting, standing)...and from the nods I saw from the judges, he probably aced the practicals, too.....they'll most likely award him "Expert" for rifle, come certification time....

                        I'll have to brag on my spotting, though, even if it was a perfectly calm, 73 degree day :D .....I'll spend tomorrow's class time setting up my rig and shooting a preliminary round.....

                              Fer sure....Dam's actually been coaching me at the home range and givin'me pointers....he's a baddass spotter, too, so I'll have good eyes out there tomorrow, and he knows my rifle better than I do, so he helped me tune the sh*t outta it today....

                              I'm planning on drivin' tacks past 400 tomorrow.... :D ...I know that with the loads I'm slingin', my MPBR is around 300 yds.....but I had my rig dialed in pretty friggin' tight all the way to the 650 marker this afternoon.....
