Sniper Training Day Experience...

All you ever wanted to know about delivering that perfect head shot hit on an enemy target; whether it's a European world leader, a Vietnamese army general, a terrorist or simply your local traffic warden!

The man opposite is the man who will be training you. His name is Peter Fawn, an ex-military opperative with a mysterious past life in guess what? The art of killing silently! With an uncanny resemplance to the Brad Pitt's binocular spotter on 'Spy Game', Pete is softly spoken, a professional soldier, malysian in origin, and comes across as an extreamely amicable and friendly guy.

Read these 'full of praise' reviews from recruits who completed our one day course.

As your instructor for the day, Peter will guide you through and intensive, step-by-step day of adventure in the following snipering disciplins:

1. Tracking & silent movement
2. Camoflague
3. Signalling to other team members
4. The Sniper Gun + Scope familiarisation
5. Body Posture + Sniper Rifle Stability
6. Accuracy using Breathing + trigger pressure
7. Spotting & Wind Conditions

Morning Session: Induction Course

At the Sniper H.Q you will be given a half hour introduction in to the basics of the weapon you will be using and some of the topics you will be covering during the morning session. You will then be taken outside for a one hour course in tracking and moving silently through a forest without being seen and without trailing evidence & footprints. once you have mastered this, it's off to the H.Q again to collect your equipment, a matt to lay on and of course your state of the art full spec, silenced telescopic rifle with incorporated stand (essentially it's a professionals' air rifle, no live rounds are used). Peter, your instructor will then train your eye on the firing range. Breathing and posture are all important as are wind conditions and trigger pressure. Even though you are shooting at range targets, the distance of each target is staggard to a top distance of 300 yds. All in all it's about focused thought, timing and control. There is significant one-to-one attention to every aspect of your performance by your trainer.

In repeating the excercise you will develop your latent abilities and quickly progress to becoming a well honed ice cool hit man.. If only of paper targets!

Mid-day: Mission Breifing

Just before you break for lunch you will again return to the H.Q for a de brief on your first 2 training modules (see above) and to go over the afternoons activities. You will also be given the first details of your mission, who the target is and what the second objectives are. Your instructor will outline the plan of attack using a wiper board. It's up to you to decide on what strategies you are going to employ in order to complete your mission and of course - stay alive! The things to be careful of are the other snipers, armed guards and a (simulated) mine field. Apart from that you'll be alright!

Afternoon Session: The Mission in action

You are now well in to the snipering game, it's do's and dont's, it's successes and failures and as a International Killer, a mercenary sniper available for hire, you're raring to cut your teath on the contract killing of a 'Well known terrorist'.

Stage 1: You start the mission fully cammoed up with branches and leaves hanging from every part of your body plus lashings of cammo face paint, gloves and magazines of ammo for your sniper rifle.

Next, it's a slow sneeky manoeuver to the underground hide on the outskirts of the arena. Your only view of the ouside world, a narrow gap through which you will have a certain time to take out enemy lurking around the outer regions of the target zone ( one of the secondary objectives ).

Stage 2: Leave the hide and find a way in to the main combat area without being seen whilst avoiding the mines. You are now approaching the target zone and things are getting mor difficult especially since there is an air bombardment of the terrorist hide out.

Stage 3: Take up position for your first kill inside the arena. Be aware the noise from the aerial bombardment is loud, random and offputting enough to make you completely miss your next target.

This is just the beginning as the whole excercise will take you no less than 2 hours to complete. Your ability to focus for long periods will decide whether you survive or die - it's that simple. Failing to move quietly will alert the guards, a false move and you blow a mine, a missed shot will reveal your position.....
