Sniper training
 
I keep reading about a 3 level course for Sniper Training. Where and when do these run? I have wanted to do this for a long time. I have never seen any posts for upcoming courses.

For a moment there, I was thinking. Oh god, 13 year old alert. when I read the title.

But anyway, BA Certification is a course that is ran in ontario (And I think there is one in quebec as well) that you take to prove that you're capable of running a hot firing sniper rifle or something along those lines. May be wrong.

Man, I wish I was a teen again! I'm almost 50 and thats why I want to go sniper...I can't keep up with the assault, gung ho, run through the bushes crowd. LOL
So where can I find info on these courses, who runs them etc etc..
Please and thanks

Theory + Hands on for Lvl 2 Cert
Cost depends on the venue hosted.
Its pretty much a day thing

Lvl 3 Cert is hands on.

I live in Ottawa,I have no problem going to the GTA for this or Montreal area either. I will just need to know in advance so I can get the time off. I know of at least one other person here in Ottawa that will go as well. Please keep me informed.
Thanks

I'm 46 and what usually doesn't kill me, causes something to hurt the next day, or fall off!:rolleyes:

im 30 now and im beginning to find i sweat more and easier lol. im not sore the next morning yet lol. but being a sniper teaches me to be more patient and relaxed. but u still have to be ready to haul ass if thhings get hairy lol. thats why i picked up a raffica as a sidearm for those situations

Dart June 21st, 2011 20:37

how is sniping "less work?" I am always crawling through bush, under branches, moving up ridges, moving around for flanking.... not to mention walking up the cursed hill at Hardcorps *those that know the hill... hate the hill*

All this carrying a 22lb DSR-1, Side arm, and in 35c Okanagan weather.... and wearing a gillie when the situation requires. Nothing like wearing a fur coat in the summer!

Its not less work, its just different work.

I'm 24. I can't wait to get old so I can go buy a nice light AEG and just sit in a bunker and spray ;)

DarkAngel June 21st, 2011 20:56

Ive got a 5kg CA M24. Ask me how fun it is to lug that beast around. Thats not including my sidearm, mags for both, 3L hydro pouch and a ghillies.

Snipers are NOT easy roles. You want easy roles, go get an LMG.

koonz June 21st, 2011 22:27

i guess youre right lol. i made a 200 ft crawl to get behind an opposing sniper to then find out that he had a support gunner behind him forcing me to crawl another 100 ft. then time ran out

Nothing worse than getting into the perfect location just as the game whistle goes.
