Amtac Shooting Day/Night Precision Rifle Course
Led by Bill Rapier
Private Range 36 min south of Coeur D’Alene, ID

How far can you shoot at night time? This is a question I have often asked myself since retiring from active duty. When I ask the question, I don’t mean how far can you Kentucky windage your laser or red dot. I mean how far can you see, identify, and engage a target with a similar degree of accuracy/ consistency that you would be able to engage in the daytime? This is a day/ night precision rifle course. This class will start with precision rifle fundamentals and then progress into positional day and night distance shooting. Bringing your own night vision is highly recommended, but not mandatory, there will be opportunity to look/ use different night optics solutions that are out there. This course will cover:

• Rifle set up and zero
• Using ballistic calculators
• Positional shooting with tripod and bipod
• Shooting out to 1400 yards day time and ??? at night
• Understanding pros and cons of NVG’s
• Understanding pros and cons of thermal’s
• Class/ practical on hiding from thermal and NVG’s

Recommended gear for this course would be a 6 ARC, 6.5, or 6mm Creedmoor gas gun for the night shooting. For the daytime, bring your best/ most accurate bolt gun (no 50 BMG please), or shoot your gas gun during the day as well. For the night portion, I recommend either a clip-on NVD (I have an older used PVS 30) or a clip-on thermal (either of these options can be had for in the 5K range). This is a physically demanding course, and you must be healthy and have a baseline of fitness to participate.
