SCOPED RIFLE

💥 Scoped Rifle: Precision Marksmanship Clinic 💥

Scoped Rifle is a precision marksmanship class designed to take shooters beyond the 100-yard comfort zone. Students learn to build solid shooting positions, engage targets quickly, and make confident hits from 50 to 300 yards. The course develops both skill and confidence, showing you what your rifle and optic are truly capable of in practical scenarios.

This class is right for you if: 

✅ You want to extend your rifle skills beyond 100 yards and engage targets with confidence. 

✅ You have solid fundamentals and want to unlock the full potential of your rifle and optic. 

✅ You want to build stable shooting positions using barricades, backpacks, or improvised supports.

✅ You are ready to identify and engage targets quickly from 50 to 300 yards. 

✅ You want practical, real-world shooting experience rather than benchrest-only drills. 

✅ You are a shooter, trainer, or protector seeking to improve distance marksmanship and field confidence.

Prerequisites:

• Safe gun handling skills 

• Ability to manipulate your rifle — loading, unloading, reloading, clearing malfunctions 

• A zeroed rifle with a scope (MIL or MOA acceptable)

Scoped Rifle focuses on translating solid fundamentals into real-world distance marksmanship. Participants will refine proper sight picture, sight alignment, grip, stance, and recoil management while learning to stabilize and shoot from supported positions—standing, kneeling, sitting, and prone. The course is structured to help shooters of all experience levels push beyond 100 yards while maintaining accuracy and confidence under realistic conditions.

Beyond fundamentals, the class emphasizes rifle setup, sling use, optic zeroing, and shooting from improvised supports such as barricades or backpacks. Students will also learn rapid target identification and practical engagement techniques to perform under pressure. Scoped Rifle is ideal for anyone looking to sharpen their distance shooting skills, whether for personal defense, hunting, or general marksmanship development.

STANDBY

Most Patriot Training classes sell out quickly. However, we frequently have participants who have schedule changes, and cannot make the class they bought for whatever reason. Therefore, we offer a "STANDBY" list. Of course, this does not guarantee you a spot. However, most classes get one or two reschedules - usually the last week right before class. 

IF this class sells out, email us and we will put you on standby for the class at no charge. Of course, if a spot opens up, then you will need to act quickly to buy that spot! 

REFUND / RESCHEDULE / TRANSFER POLICY

REFUNDS

Patriot Training does NOT offer Refunds. 

* Tuition sale is final and is a commitment to train with Patriot Training at the date and time scheduled.

* Tuition paid guarantees your spot in class. Patriot Training does not overbook. 

* Your payment secures a spot in a specific class, and nothing more. Patriot Training cannot and does not guarantee individual performance or results. Therefore, failure to pass a course (such as a carry permit evaluation) does not qualify for a refund.  

* Patriot Training does not offer refunds, reschedules, or transfers to students who fail to show up for class. If you decide not to attend, that’s your decision. 

* This policy is firm and there will be no exceptions.

*  Due to safety concerns, all Sig P320 variants are banned from use in class. No refunds will be issued based on this policy. 

Why? 

- Because if you decide the day before class that you don't like the weather forecast (or insert whatever excuse here), we will not have time to sell that spot to a serious participant that has been turned away. 

RESCHEDULE

Scoped Rifle cannot be rescheduled. 

LIMITED TRANSFERS

Can't make the class and want to transfer (give/sell) your spot to someone else?

If you want to transfer, sell, or give your seat to someone else, that’s entirely up to you and is fine by us. 

You must notify us no later than Thursday, 6:00 pm, prior.  

If that person cannot make it, the same no refund policy applies. 

CANCELLATIONS

In the unlikely event Patriot Training is forced to cancel a class, refunds and reschedules will be offered.
