Everything About Scopes 

Combat Rifle Optics is a technical training which will provide the student a tremendous degree of detail and knowledge regarding the types of scopes common to the modern battlefield. These include red dots, magnifiers, low power variable optics, Trijicon Advanced Combat Optical Gunsite (ACOG), conventional rifle scopes, and other products which are designed to help a shooter aim. Your goal is to leverage the capabilities of modern optical aiming devices to increase your precision from 4 MOA to 2 MOA, and your effective engagement range on man sized targets from 400m to 800m, while maintaining speed and close range defensive engagement capability.
