Colorado Precision Rifle isn't a typical training outfit. The instructors have walked the walk: 10 years of active duty Special Forces, SOTIC Level I certification, two combat deployments to Iraq, one to Afghanistan, and multiple wins at national-level competitions including the 2008 International Sniper Competition (Service Class) at Fort Benning.
Their competition résumé includes: - 4 NRA National F-Class Records - 1st Place 2008 International Sniper Competition (Service Class) - 1st Place Spirit of America National Camaraderie Match - 1st Place 2014 Raton NM Sporting Rifle Team Match - Multiple top-3 finishes in Steel Safari, ThunderBeast Team Challenge, and USASOC competitions
Their philosophy: evaluate and build skills in logical progression. Every course addresses three fundamentals:
- •Physical Ability - Setting up an ergonomically correct rifle, building stable shooting positions in austere conditions. They start from ground up (basic fundamentals) through advanced techniques. Real-world shots don't happen from prone.
- •Data Management - Teaching students how to get a good repeatable zero, collect accurate environmental data, and build a reliable data management system. The goal: no shot should ever be missed due to a bad elevation correction.
- •Environmental Correction - Starting with the science of wind and environmental factors, then moving to the art of reading wind. Low student-to-instructor ratios mean individual coaching. They constantly change firing points and directions to build mature, well-rounded shooters.

"If you're looking for an introductory class in long-range shooting, don't overlook Colorado Precision Rifle's 3 day class. It was well run, extremely informative, and way fun." — Jeff
"Colorado Precision Rifle/Brian Whalen's instruction is the best I have experienced in the competitive shooting arena." — Student with background in adult learning and coaching
"Brian brings a ton of experience to the table. You can immediately tell that he really enjoys teaching and he's very good at it... I highly recommend his courses to any of my shooting friends who want to see improvement in their skill level." — Rusty Ulmer
"My interest in Brian's classes was for hunting. I wanted to improve my shooting skill to a comfort level of at least 500 yds. Since then, I have taken deer out to 400 yds and never missed anything under 350 yds." — Dave Stoen
