LPVO / Practical Magnification Course

Register

$395.00

  • Class Availability: Full
  • Spots Left: 2
  • Location: Williamson County Sheriff's Office Range
  • Date: May 31-June 1, 2024

This 16 hour class is focused entirely around an AR-15 style carbine with a Low Powered Variable Optic (LPVO).  Red dots with magnifiers and ACOG style optics are also welcome.

All of the drills in this course are designed to mitigate the weaknesses and exploit the strengths of an LPVO equipped rifle.

We’ll cover:

  • Rifle Setup – We’ll discuss best practices for mounting your optic and then make sure they’re set up correctly before we start.
  • Zeroing – Best practices for getting a proper zero and a discussion on the pros and cons of zeroing at different distances.  You will leave knowing EXACTLY where your rounds will impact at varying distances.
  • Mitigating weaknesses – Obstructed lenses and shooting from unorthodox positions.  We will do a LOT of positional shooting in this class.
  • Exploiting strengths – Since we can see better with an LPVO we can probably make better hits, but only if we can build a proper shooting position.
  • Target discrimination – We may be able to hit things at greater distances, but we need to be able to hit the RIGHT thing.
  • Range estimation and wind calling – When it matters and rules to live by.

 

Class Description

This 16 hour class is focused entirely around an AR-15 style carbine with a Low Powered Variable Optic (LPVO).  Red dots with magnifiers and ACOG style optics are also welcome.

All of the drills in this course are designed to mitigate the weaknesses and exploit the strengths of an LPVO equipped rifle.

This class is not a “how to hit steel a long way off with an LPVO” class.  This class is all about shooting very aggressively at realistic sized (small) targets between 75-250 yards.

We’ll cover:

  • Rifle Setup – We’ll discuss best practices for mounting your optic and then make sure they’re set up correctly before we start.
  • Zeroing – Best practices for getting a proper zero and a discussion on the pros and cons of zeroing at different distances.  You will leave knowing EXACTLY where your rounds will impact at varying distances.
  • Mitigating weaknesses – Obstructed lenses and shooting from unorthodox positions.  We will work on finding the right magnification for varying target difficulty (More is not always better).
  • Exploiting strengths – Since we can see better with an LPVO we can probably make better hits, but only if we can build a proper shooting position.
  • Target discrimination – We may be able to hit things at greater distances, but we need to be able to hit the RIGHT thing.
  • Range estimation and wind calling – When it matters and rules to live by.
