LPVO Rifle

Course Description:

The LPVO Rifle (206) is an intermediate level 2-day course for the professional gunman emphasizing practical application of the low powered variable optic mounted on a duty M4/AR15 rifle in urban tactical scenarios. In the LPVO Rifle course students learn to deliver effective fire from 5 to 300 yards (where available). The curriculum is largely made up of marksmanship application from various positions and distances with graded drills designed to hold the shooter to a high level of accountability. Heavy emphasis is placed on mastering the following: position, grip, aiming, trigger control and follow through. 

Subjects covered include: LPVO selection & mounting, zero selection & zeroing procedures, advanced marksmanship techniques, point blank range familiarization, CQB range shooting, ballistic holds, shooting positions, sling supported shooting, positional shooting, and weak side shooting. Students learn how to create a basic data card on ballistic performance to improve shooting predictability and reliability for future engagements. Students are provided real time feedback and corrective strategies based on performance and specified needs. Additional subjects include: reticle familiarization, proper magnification use, target analysis, “red dot” shooting techniques, unconventional shooting positions.
