Student Testimonials

See what students of our Basic Sniper course have to say about their training experience!

88 Tactical’s Basic Sniper course is an extremely well-thought-out class that prepares a newly selected police sniper to return to his team with an understanding of his new role as a sniper. The class covers the fundamentals of marksmanship and the basics of all the other tasks required in this job 95% of the time during a callout or warrant execution. It lays the foundation for safe and effective operations as a member of a SWAT sniper team. I highly recommend this course if you want to get a new member or are experienced and want a fresh take and some new material.
