Law enforcement sniper course

[Finger]

I am going to be doing a course in April here in south Texas just like the one I used to do at Blackwater.
If interested, PM me your e-mail and I will respond with a flyer for the course.

Hope you all had a fine holiday season.

For all you Texas officers, I spoke to the curriculum folks at TCLEOSE, Austin this morning. They tell me there should be no problem with getting your training points from this course. I am still learning Texas procedure for this stuff. A little different from my home state.

Great course. I went thru it last year. Lots of knowledge to be learned from all the years of experience from Finger. I highly reccomend this course to all the LEO's out there.

I designed the precision rifle course at Blackwater years ago just for that. Took out everything except the shooting skills. We discussed that here and it's not been nixed. Just that there is not enough time right now. We might be doing it in the future though. I will pass the word when that happens.
