With the assistance of instructors, students will ensure their rifle is correctly adjusted and that their scope is level. All students must zero or confirm zero with a minimum of 10 rounds and a chronograph. This is not only a safety measure, but important for getting the average muzzle velocity for ballistics computation. Paired in spotter/shooter teams, students will learn how to read wind, spot bullet trace, observe impacts, and efficiently communicate corrections to put rounds on targets out to 1100 meters.
