Back to School with the Steyr Arms Training Academy - Tactical Life

SPR-1 is a two day stand-alone course that will give you the theory knowledge, shooting practice and the ballistics skills needed to reach Steyr's accuracy potential of 600 yards and beyond, on Known Distance targets. This is the first step in learning to shoot at long range since all targets are lined up, and the shooter does not need to change his firing direction, make any quick calculations, or define new ballistic angles for each shot. This is the perfect, controlled environment to learn the 'How-To' and the ballistics techniques to hit your target every time.

SPR-2 (Steyr Precision Rifle 2) is a two day course focused in extending the capabilities of those graduating from of the SPR-1 course or any other recognized sniper program. The focus of the head instructor Eduardo Abril de Fontcuberta will be in advancing student skills using the latest precision shooting techniques so they can engage multiple unknown range targets successfully up to 600 yards and beyond. The only limitation will be the range. There will be Unknown Distance targets located in multiple directions that force the shooter to range quickly, using LRF and MIL reticles, and also find the Fire Solution to each one. This includes factoring in complex winds, all with a small amount of calculated time.

SPH-1 (Steyr Precision Hunter I) is a stand-alone two day course that will give you the theory knowledge, shooting practice and the ballistics skills needed to reach Steyr's hunting rifle accuracy potential up to 600 yards.
