Hello all!!

I just wanted to update you all.

I am sorry to inform all those that have subscribed to this thread, that due to circumstances beyond Shadowforce's control,

the Course scheduled for July 28- August 1 has been cancelled.

There seems to be an issue with the certification of the range that Shadowforce uses.

This issue only came to their attention last night, and while attempts were made to made to find an alternate venue, there simply was not enough time to have all the pieces fall into place.

As a result the course was cancelled, and refunds will be issued shortly, with effort to still hold this course this year being on going.

I am personally very frustrated about this, but at this point it is what it is.

Thanks for all your interest.

regards and all the best

Hello all!!

As Canadian's we are always looking for opportunities to train with our precision rifles. As such I just wanted to bring this to every one's attention.

I will be personally taking this course.

I appreciate that this is a bit last minute!!

Enrollment was actually full, however a few participants have had to cancel due to circumstance beyond control and as such about 4 spots out of 12 have opened up.

As an added incentive, mention that you saw this on CGN to get a tuition discount!! (Contact Shadowforce.ca for full details)

I am quite excited about this course as the adjunct Instructor this year is a former USMC Scout Sniper / Chief Scout Sniper.

Do not let the words "Advanced" throw you. The Main prerequisites for the course are:

- A valid PAL

-A Rifle with telescopic sight (i.e. quick adjustable elevation and windage knobs).

- 500 - 750 rounds match grade ammo

-An open mind and a desire to learn!!

Some of the topics to be covered that will help one engage targets out to 1000 yards are:

• Observation Techniques
• Study of the Data Book
• Ballistics
• Effects of Weather / Reading the Wind
• Qualification Courses
• Gear and Equipment
• Field Skills
• Known and Unknown Distance Shooting
• Mildot / MOA Reticle Calibration
• Low Light / No light engagements
• Weapons Maintenance
• Range Safety
• Rifle Building and set up
• Range Estimation
• Weapons Zeroing
• Scope Theory
• Marksmanship
• Shooter Observer Dialog
• Alternate Shooting Positions
• Engagement of Moving Targets

Many more details about the course, the cost, the gear required, and the instructor, and contact information can be found on the website at:

w w w.shadowforce.ca/courses/tactical-long-range-rifle/advanced-tactical-long-range-rifle/ (just remove the spaces in between the w's)

There is one more thing I would like to make clear.

While I have come to know and appreciate their principals, I am, in no way associated or affiliated with ShadowForce.

I am simply a paying consumer of the training they have to offer, and I simply wanted to share an opportunity for training, as I belive the opportunities are few and far between.

If your curious about some of the previous courses ShadowForce has offered I have written a couple of After Action Reports here:

500-750 rounds. ... Drool.

Do I need to ask how much? With cgn discount?

Alright. I see it's $1,625.00. Curious what the discount would be.

I wouldn't have the spotting scope or binoculars. =(

Curious more so than interested. Seems like a ton of a fun though.
 
LMAO!!

I will be sure to mention that to them!!

However, in the mean time you should feel free to let them know yourself!!

I took their Precision Rifle 1 course (up to 500 m) almost 2 years ago. AbHobbyist was there too. It was very good. Learn quite a few new things.
This time is a different instructor so I am looking forward to learn from a different prospective. I am looking forward to the challenge. Yes, it is a fair size commitment (course fee, time off, hotel, etc) but we do not get that much opportunity in AB or in Canada. This time the range will extend beyond 500 m.

Good to hear from you!!

I was hoping you might pop by!!

Looking forward to seeing you, some familiar faces, and some new faces!!

I think it will be an excellent time, with much learning and working through some challenges.
