NEXT L-2 RIFLE: ON REQUEST
Heather In Camo & M-16: Rifle L2 & L3 |
Danielle is learning to balance this .270 Ruger on it's Bi-pod elevated to the seated position. Shots such as this could be made from behind a fallen tree, a sage bush, or a flat blind.
The Ruger has a jeweled action, with Leupoid 3x9 variable power scope, Range Finder, 1/8 inch adjustments, a Bullet Drop Compensator, and protective clear lens protector covers.
Here being demonstrated is how to properly measure a bipod. To fit Tammie here, the bipod legs must be elevated to the point where her head & spine are aligned vertically, her eyes are horizontal, and she is not squatting hunched over. BIPODS come in a variety of sizes, close to the ground at about 6 inches to 10 inches, 12 to 24 inches as above, and even higher. Some people prefer cross sticks one size fits all. Bipods are expensive (good ones $60-$100). | |

The SWAT Rifleman, aka "Sniper" has an awesome responsibility. S/he has to have the mental brain power to calculate the range, angle, bullet trajectory, wind speed, air temperature, humidity, elevation above sea level, and know the characteristics of his/her weapon and the ammunition. That is why ammunition is purchased in LOTS of at least 1,000 rounds, usually 10,000 rounds;
LOTS: ammo has a standard parameter of acceptable tolerances. However, one "lot" maybe made with powder "X", while the next "lot" is made with powder "YXZ". The first lot may hit the target 1 inch higher than the second lot, but both meet the tolerances. A one inch difference can make the accurate shooter miss his target and hit something in the background. When a SWAT team buys new ammo, all team members shoot until they are satisfied they know the specific characteristics of the new "lot".
BASIC CERTIFIED INSTRUCTOR CLASS (required for any NRA Instructor Course - AND is a minimum 6 hrs in duration)
BASIC RIFLE CLASS: 14 HOURS min. RIFLE INSTRUCTOR : 15 HOURS min.
