Rifle:

- Magazine fed

- Capable of 0.3mil (1 MOA) or less

- Preferably Short-action Cal’s (magnums heat up quickly - can be managed)

- Preferably Heavier barrelled rifle (lighter sporter weight barrels heat up quickly - can be managed)

- Bipod

Optics:

- Minimum total mag: 12x (eg; 3-12x??mm)

- Exposed tactical or capped turrets with return to zero capability

- MRAD preferable however no issues with MOA as long as reticle is also MOA. (mismatched reticle - turrets can be managed)

- First Focal Plane preferable however no issues with SFP.

- Christmas tree style reticle or reticle with half mil hash lines for ballistic calibration.

- Anti-cant device: level bubble or similar (desirable)

Ballistic Software:

- We recommend, use and teach Applied Ballistics.

- We also recommend, use and teach the Kestrel Weather Meter w/ Applied Ballistics

- Applied Ballistics can be downloaded to your mobile device from the App Store or Google Play

- 100 rounds of ammunition per day as a minimum will ensure you have sufficient ammunition for the training.

- If two (2) or more shooters are involved spotting theory and exercises are included in all practical shoots
