SUMMARY:Sniper Theory &amp\; Stalking
DESCRIPTION:Day 1: September 26\, 2026 | 8:00 AM – 7:30 PM\n\n\n\nDay 
 2: September 27\, 2026 | 8:00 AM – 4:00 PM\n\n\n\nLocation: Range 2131
  – Buckeye\, Arizona\n\n\n\nCourse Length: 21.5 Hours\n\n\n\nTuition: 
 $500\n\n\n\nDESCRIPTION: \n\n\n\nSniper Theory and Stalking is an introd
 uctory fieldcraft course designed to expose students to the mindset\, pr
 inciples\, and skills associated with sniper fieldcraft\, reconnaissance
 \, observation\, and stalking. This is NOT a precision rifle shooting co
 urse. While the course does include live-fire exercises\, the primary fo
 cus is on tradecraft rather than marksmanship. Students will learn how a
  sniper observes\, thinks\, moves\, gathers information\, and utilizes t
 errain and environmental conditions to their advantage.\n\n\n\nThis is a
  hands-on field course. There are no classroom lectures\, PowerPoint pre
 sentations\, or extended periods spent sitting behind a desk. Instructio
 n takes place in the field alongside cadre\, where students will immedia
 tely apply concepts through practical exercises and real-world problem-s
 olving scenarios.\n\n\n\nThroughout the course\, students will develop a
  foundational understanding of movement\, concealment\, observation\, ro
 ute selection\, stalking\, target detection\, terrain analysis\, and inf
 ormation gathering. Cadre will emphasize critical thinking\, adaptabilit
 y\, and decision-making while exposing students to the realities of fiel
 dcraft and reconnaissance operations.\n\n\n\nStudents should expect a ph
 ysically active training environment involving individual and team-based
  exercises\, movement over varied terrain\, and continuous hands-on appl
 ication of fieldcraft principles. This course serves as an excellent fou
 ndation for students interested in advanced training in sniper\, reconna
 issance\, surveillance\, hunting\, or fieldcraft.\n\n\n\nTopics Covered\
