Core offerings.
Same standard.

Foundation, Advanced, Performance, Experience, and one-on-one mentorship. Same coaches and same standard — different starting points. Pick the lane that matches the work in front of you.

01

Foundation

Built and taught by Marine Scout Sniper instructors. You leave not knowing about precision shooting, but doing it.

  • The precision rifle system & proper setup
  • Optics: mil/MOA, tracking, return-to-zero
  • Cycle of operations & natural point of aim
  • Ballistics, your dope & wind to ~700 yd
02

Advanced

The natural progression after Foundation: tripod work, positional shooting, gun number, wind refinement, and the old Precision Hunter lane.

  • Tripod setup and recoil management
  • Positional shooting beyond prone
  • NRL Hunter and field-style applications
  • Gun number and cleaner wind decisions
  • Foundation mechanics in harder positions
03

Performance

The competition lane: PRS-style timed stages, stage planning, match wind, and debrief.

  • PRS-style stage flow
  • Stage planning and time management
  • Wind decisions under the clock
  • Performance diagnostics and debrief
04

Experience

The Cadre event lane: come shoot, train, and spend time with the team. The broader format is still TBD.

  • TBD - still working on it
  • Invite-style event reference point
  • Cadre-hosted range time
  • More details as the offering is defined
05

One-on-One

Direct help with rifle troubleshooting, component choices, hunt prep, or focused coaching when the standard class path is not the right fit.

§ 04

Proven training.
Real results.

Four working principles, drawn from a decade of teaching shooters who came to get better. These do not change between classes, ranges, or seasons.

I

Process over outcome.

We don't train you to chase a hit. We build a repeatable shot process and drill it until it runs on its own. Trust the process and the hits follow — under pressure, that's the only thing that holds.

II

Understand the why.

Anyone can hand you a list of fundamentals to memorize. We teach the reasoning behind each one, so when conditions are not textbook you can diagnose yourself and adapt instead of guess.

III

Diagnose, don't react.

Every shot gets called and accounted for — where you held, what you saw, what the wind and the dirt told you. No excuses, no luck. You leave able to troubleshoot your own miss.

IV

Precision through chaos.

Field positions, real terrain, real wind, a clock running. Square ranges build false confidence. We put you in the uncomfortable spots on purpose so the shot still breaks clean when the plan falls apart.

I always tell my students to go train with other instructors. When they ask me who, I never had a good answer — until I saw what these guys are doing. Now I send them to The Cadre.

Before you sign up.

The four questions we get most often, answered the way we would answer them on the phone.

Foundation is for newer shooters or anyone rebuilding fundamentals. Advanced is the next step: positional shooting, tripod work, gun number, wind refinement, and the old Precision Hunter/NRL Hunter lane. Performance is the competition lane for PRS-style timed stage work. Experience is still being shaped, and one-on-one is handled directly for rifle troubleshooting, setup questions, hunt prep, or focused coaching. Not sure where you fit? Contact us and we'll point you in the right direction.
