Combat Rifle Optics 6DEC25

December 6 @ 12:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Free

Combat Rifle Optics is a technical training which will provide the student a tremendous degree of detail and knowledge regarding the types of scopes common to the modern battlefield. These include red dots, magnifiers, low power variable optics, Trijicon Advanced Combat Optical Gunsite (ACOG), conventional rifle scopes, and other products which are designed to help a shooter aim. Your goal is to leverage the capabilities of modern optical aiming devices to increase your precision from 4 MOA to 2 MOA, and your effective engagement range on man sized targets from 400m to 800m, while maintaining speed and close range defensive engagement capability. 

Learn: 

What makes a successful combat optic?
Mounting and leveling scopes
Eye relief
How much magnification do you need? 
Choosing scope reticle
Choosing optics for astigmatism and near sightedness
Minutes of angle vs Milliradian
Red dot/magnifier vs ACOG vs LPVO vs Other
Maintenance and cleaning scopes
Ranging targets
Proper zeroing distance
Zeroing math
Rapid close range shooting drills
Precision shooting 600m and beyond
Low light scope performance
