Helicopter Interdiction

Description

During this course each shooter will start by learning to effectively and consistently acquire targets out to 400 yards using different shooting positions and elevated platforms. From there you will be introduced to aerial based target interdiction from a helo. Shooters will communicate with pilots, engage targets from the air at different distances and heights. In addition, shooters will experience basic foot patrol tactics and hot inserts/extracts as a real SEAL Team does while in hostile territory.
