WHY OFFER A SEMINAR?
Military snipers go through a comprehensive shooting package as part of their sniper qualification courses. There is much live fire but before heading to the range all students are taught the theory of shooting.

For most civilian shooters it is hard to get similar training on firearms due to location, costs, or both. Instead the accessible forms of education are usually friends, YouTube or magazines which are often contradictive and confusing.

The biggest cost in any firearm course is the travel, time, and range facilities. By removing these requirements and just providing theory the costs to you can be kept low whilst education levels stay high. Seminars allow you an easy and affordable way to still get good training.
