Check out our realistic training facilities!

This video was shot entirely on our property… it is as close as you are going to get to training overseas! If you didn’t know better, you might think it was a small town in Afghanistan!

We at GPS Defense Sniper School believe in training snipers for real world scenarios. Although we love seeing great shot groups on a flat range just like anybody else, actual sniper deployments don’t tend to happen on flat known distance ranges… they happen in the real world. The real world has curbs, tires, and other obstacles that often prevent the strictly prone style of shooting that some schools are so fond of.

To prepare for these real world scenarios, our students are taught a rapid deployment drill that allows them to engage a face size target from 100 yds from three different sling supported positions. This allows them to quickly drop into position, and transition lower if the situation allows for it rather than diving to the prone only to realize that they can not see the target.

Our standard is to complete two shots from each of the three positions with a mandatory reload in 60 seconds or less. Watch the videos and even try it for yourself… when you are ready to get better at it, sign up for one of our courses!

Snipers start with rifle unloaded, load and fire 5 rounds from three positions at six inch steel targets ranging from 100 to 300 yards. No misses are allowed. Lowest time takes highest score.

Note immediate use of sling in sitting position and relaoding without lifting head off rifle or taking eyes off target.

With the ever expanding role of the military sniper, it is important for snipers to train in close quarters combat along with their standard sniper training. Military snipers are encountering scenarios which require assaulting skills in order to get into their sniper position. In this video, you can see some of this auxiliary sniper training as we teach these snipers how to engage close targets after being knocked down.

The following video is of SOCOM soldiers training at night during one of our courses. They are shooting a 9×15 inch target 550 yards away. Make sure your sound is turned on, you can hear the communication between the snipers and instructors as well as the targets being hit. There are six teams engaging the target and you can hear each team as they move down the line successfully engaging the target and in some cases, confirming the hits with a follow up shot.
