Course Description:
The Designated Marksman (DM) role has developed over the past decade to the point that it is an integral part of the modern military infantry makeup. The primary purpose of the DM is to extend the range and capability of the standard infantryman but yet not worry much about the field craft side of it. The Sniper Central DM school is intended to teach some of the more specialized skills of the DM such as rapid engagements using only the reticle, multiple target engagements, hold overs, and other specific DM skills. The distances will focus on targets from 200-600 yards away with a few further and a few closer. It is expected that students will be physically fit and have a good understanding of long range marksmanship so that the class can hit the ground running. If you are unsure if your knowledge or fitness level is adequate, please contact our training staff. This class is very fun and is open to military, Law Enforcement and civilians looking to improve their marksmanship skills. See the course schedule for further details about classes that will be taught at our DM school.
