Precision Bolt Rifle Essentials

Field-Relevant Accuracy for Real-World Conditions

When the shot matters, guesswork is not acceptable.

Precision Bolt Rifle Essentials is the entry point for shooters stepping into bolt-action rifles who want to do it right from the start — with disciplined fundamentals, validated data, and field-relevant application.

This course is designed for hunters and practical shooters who already own a scoped bolt-action rifle and want to build trust in their rifle, optic, and ballistic data, not just shoot groups on a calm range day.

You will learn how to properly set up your equipment, confirm your zero, understand your DOPE, and apply precision fundamentals from realistic shooting positions in real outdoor conditions.

This is not casual instruction.
It is foundational precision training done correctly.

Is Your Rifle Truly Ready — Or Just “Close Enough”?

Ask yourself:
⊙ Can you confirm and adjust your DOPE in changing environmental conditions?
⊙ Are you comfortable shooting from prone, seated, kneeling, and barricaded positions?
⊙ Do you trust your zero and optic when the shot actually counts?

If those questions create uncertainty, this course is built for you.
