Civilian Sniper

4-Day Civilian Sniper Training

This camp is a 4-day training evolution that emphasizes core fundamentals, the science and key concepts to locate and precisely engage known and unknown distance targets from various shooting positions.

The ultimate goal is to provide any student with the core competencies and skills to build upon imparting strong emphasis on military methodology and mastering the fundamentals, non reliance on technology and pragmatic utilization of a precision rifle.

The camp is divided into alternating series of classroom lectures and practical application drills. The training evolution begins with core fundamentals progressing into more advanced concepts. At the culmination of the camp, students will test their new found skills on a mock “sniper” mission.

The Ranch

The Civilian Sniper Camp is run at our private 400-acre ranch in San Antonio, NM. On the property we have multiple live fire ranges, a six room shoot house, quarter mile obstacle course, run and gun course, 5 to 1000 yard ranges, combatives pit and plenty of other land to play on.

Food & Shelter

Another benefit of this event is that your food and sleeping quarters are provided in the cost. We built a 2000 sq ft off the grid bunkhouse out of shipping containers that can sleep up to 20 people. Yes, you will be sharing a room and bonding with your other teammates.

Weapons?

At this camp we also provide you with all the ammo you will need and the weapons. If you have your own rifle and handgun you want to use…PLEASE feel free to bring it out and use it. I highly recommend training with your own set up if you already own firearms.

FREE RV Parking

If you don’t want to stay in our bunkhouse, we offer FREE RV parking on site as well. These are ONLY parking spots, there are NO HOOK UPS since our facility is completely off grid. You will need to bring your own generator for power. We currently have 5 spots available and you are able to claim a spot after you sign up on our survey.

Travel

If you’re within driving distance, you are more than welcome to drive out to the ranch the morning of the event or you can arrive on Wednesday before the event starts and spend the night at the ranch. If you are flying in, we have a bus that will pick you up from the Albuquerque airport on Wednesday before the event at 5pm sharp and will drop you off at 3pm on Sunday so you don’t have to worry about the extra expense of renting a vehicle. Never flown with a weapon…READ THIS: https://gunfighteracademy.com/flying-with-weapons/

What They Say

Excellent facility and instruction. I’ve been to other training facilities and camps over the years and Gun Fighter Academy is hands down the best I have experienced. I was so impressed with last weekends Sniper camp, I decided to book another trip to their facility and take their Urban Tactics camp this October. Can’t wait for more instruction and time spent with the Gun Fighter Academy team.

Ric Ashby

I can’t say enough about this camp. What an experience. Came into this never shooting past 200 yards. Only to ring steel at 1000 yards on the first shot. What a great team of instructors. Three men with a tremendous amount of real world experience that were able to teach it in a real life application. Not everyone can teach what they know. Their ability to take their experience and knowledge and teach it to both new and experienced shooters was commendable.
The camp itself was so well rounded. Scope theory, observation, movement, positioning, shooting mechanics and so much more.
Shooting targets at known and unknown distances from 200 to 1000 yards and everywhere in between. And the use of the final mission to tie it all together was incredible.

John Merson

The instructors were top notch. They covered both the practical and technical aspects of shooting. The instructors really cared about making it a great learning experience and seeing their students improve. I would highly recommend Gun Fighter Academy’s Sniper class for those interested in improving their long distance shooting.

William Bennett III

I’ve taken courses with other companies that were good. Taking a course with Gun Fighter Academy was amazing. The instructors have lots of experience, they each have techniques and experiences to bring to the table, and are personable. Whether you’re a new shooter, or an experienced veteran, the instructors know how to work with you. I’ve shot firearms since I was around 5 years old, have taken several professional courses and I still learned a ton of information. I highly recommend Gun Fighter Academy.
