Practical Magnification Course
This 8 hour class is focused entirely around an AR-15 style carbine with a Low Powered Variable Optic (LPVO). Red dots with magnifiers and ACOG style optics are also welcome.
All of the drills in this course are designed to mitigate the weaknesses and exploit the strengths of an LPVO equipped rifle.
We’ll cover:
- Zeroing – Best practices for getting a proper zero and a discussion on the pros and cons of zeroing at different distances.
- Mitigating weaknesses – Obstructed lenses and shooting from unorthodox positions. We will do a LOT of positional shooting in this class.
- Exploiting strengths – Since we can see better with an LPVO we can probably make better hits, but only if we can build a proper shooting position.
- Target discrimination – We may be able to hit things at greater distances, but we need to be able to hit the RIGHT thing.
- Range estimation and wind calling – When it matters and rules to live by.
Round Count: 300 Rounds
