wind was weak and had same speed so I completed it quick and clean. The last part was shooting from non-standard stances. I spent around 300 rifle rounds shooting from multi-store tower with different pieces of furniture and holes in wall. Targets were placed up to 1100 yards. We had to learn how to stabilize we- apon in every stance – right and left handed, supported and not supported, under different angles, etc. Third week is about complete missions – WARNO, preparations and execution. Operations were conducted in such manner that we had very limited time for sleep or relax. We were operating in about 500 kilometers radius from the training site, in local fore- sts and even in small town. For whole time we had to avoid local citizens. We crossed rivers, we set OP's (observation points), we conduct reconnaissance and we shot at long distance according to the scenarios. There was no time for brake. We slept and ate in car which picked up in one location and dropped in another. During transport we were receiving intel data and plan the ope- ration accordingly. In the drop zone we had to show the plan and execute it. Sometimes he had time to grab a chow or get an eye-shut but instructors put maximum effort to keep us busy and under pressure. They wanted to make us tired and force us to make mistakes. In some of scenarios, the local police and law enforcement servi- ces was hunting us down, sometimes we supported them as a recon or provided them fire support during raids. Everything was as close to the reality as possible. Unfortunately, due the law and restrictions that kind of training cannot be conducted in many places. When sniper course was finished only four guys remained in the class. Some decided to left on their request (mostly, due the limited funds) and the rest just failed. I am still in touch with most of them – handling hard beating together gets people clo- ser – also with instructors. Immodestly speaking – I am really proud that I finished the sniper course in Storm Mountain Tra- ining Center. The course, even if it was quite short, gave us good lesson and great dose of knowledge. It gave also a bit different view on the things around us. Now I share that knowledge in the Paladin Tac training classes, were I had start my sniper shooting experience. On the other hand, I'm CEO of Precise Weapon Sights. SNIPER TRAINING
