We're going to go over how to correctly talk on to a target and then how to properly engage that Target using the correct sniper
Verbage [alright] as a shooter spotter team
[first] thing we're going to do when we get to a position is conduct a hasty search all right if you remember back from the
Observation class the hasty search is near to far and we're looking for any immediate threats and identifying any dead space
once we've conducted that hasty search we're going to immediately start looking at our sector and breaking it down into smaller portions and
Identifying the reference points as we go
You look out on our range here on the Farthest left hand side
We have that left-hand range flag that is one reference point continuing [to] the right? We [have] the one to Board by
Continuing to the right I have a left side intersection approximately 500 meters
But continue to the right I have the [2-3] board
Continuing right I have another intersection. I'll call that my right side intersection and then continuing right I have a 3/4 board and
Then my farthest [Right-hand] limit as that right side range fan
Once I've identified those range- those reference points I can break this down into sectors
So my sector [1] will be my left range fan to the 1/2 board
Sector 2 will be the 1/2 Board to the 2/3 board
sector 3, 2/3 board to the 3/4 Board
sector 4, 3/4 board to the right side range fan I can further break my sectors down in
Depth if you look at the range here at about 500 meters. I have a road running horizontally
Right to left so anything from me to that road will be sector a anything from that Road Beyond will be sector being
So if I need to talk my to my shooter on to a certain area or Target quickly
I can simply say shooter. Go to one bravo or three alpha that allows him to get in that area very quickly
[alright] once you've identified those
Sectors, we're going to start doing our deliberate search and again if you remember back to that observation course that deliberate search allows you to
Go or you break those sectors down, and you look for any target indicators that may give away an enemy position
Once that's complete you'll start your range card and beginning your and continuing your activity log. All right now
we'll go over how to
Talk [onto] a target. So there are three ways to indicate a talk direct method the direct method would be
Talking [onto] a target that we've already identified
for example Brian by I
Go to the 12 inch plate at the right intersection
Contact [alright]
He can immediately go to that target because we've already identified it now there are two other ways to talk onto our Target
We have the reference point method and the clock rate method these two methods need to be used in conjunction with each other
So we can use those reference points that we've already identified
For instance brian go to the 2-3 board. BRIAN: contact.
From the 2-3 board go to the three o'clock
approximately [ten] Mills
BRIAN: Contact.
Go to glass
BRIAN: Now you get the Target leaning slowly to the right the head is on the dark green grass-
Go and stop there So that's how we were talking to a target now. We'll move into the proper verbage to engage that Target
We're gonna go back on to how to talk to our target and then how to use proper verbage to engage that Target
Shooter by I go to the 2/3 board.
BRIAN: contact
From the 2/3 board go to the three o'clock approximately ten [mills]
BRIAN: Contact
Go to glass
All right
As soon as he gets on [that] target. He's going to start describing everything around that Target all right same time
I'm looking for what he's describing
BRIAN: [alright] Target has white grass around the shoulders and down around the head areas dark green grass leaning slightly to the right
BRIAN: to the
ten o'clock is a berm and
Then to the three o'clock is another Target
[I] check parallax and mill alright once I'm satisfied that he's given we were both looking at the same Target
I'm gonna simply cut him off by telling him to check Parallax and mill once I tell him that
He is going to crisp up that target as much as he can with his parallax knob then he's gonna cant his scope to that
reticle is on the
Going up and down on the tallest portion that target to begin milling as the spotter
I'm gonna get a flash mill of that Target as well
That way I can just be a double check for him, and then I'm immediately going to start looking at winds
BRIAN: 1.63
[Alright] once he's got that mill that he identifies the mill. He's gonna call back to me what he sees
He [sees] a one point six three
I'm seeing it about a one point six as well
[alright] after [I] have that mill I'm going to take whatever ballistic computer
I'm using or density altitude car to find the ballistic solution, plug his information in
Once I have it i'm gonna tell him check level
Right here. He's using [that] anti cant device to make sure his reticle is level and
Then hold over 5.4
BRIAN: Ready.
[Alright] once I give him that [holdover] he knows to begin prepping his firing sequence. So he's going to start breathing out slowly
Taking up slack in that trigger and with that last little bit of breath before he gets to [that] natural respiratory pause
He's going to tell me ready
Once I hear ready
I'm going to give him my one call
left point [four]
All right
After he gets that
Left point four that's his command of [execution] to squeeze the trigger now
I need to make sure I get that wind call off between three at least three to five seconds after
He gives me that ready because at this point. He's out of air
If I wait around and don't get that wind call out quickly. He's going to have to reset take another breath
All right, he shoots
We hit the target if he- we need to reengage for whatever reason or we missed I would simply
Start him over by saying [holdover]. Whatever the correct holdover would be to hit that target this time
He begins doing that firing sequence once more
Once he's there he gives me a ready, and I gave him the wind call again left
0.6
All right from here we're going to move on to a live fire demonstration
Alright shooter go and lock and load
By I go to the three-four board. BRIAN: contact.
From the [three-four] board go to the three o'clock proximately 30 mils
BRIAN: Contact.
Go to glass
BRIAN: So you got a target sitting up on a hilltop [reds] Red circle in the middle?
BRIAN: [tree] line - it's 12 o'clock-
That's your target check Parallax and [Mill]
BRIAN: 1.16
Check level holdover 3.9
BRIAN: ready
Left .2
Shooter by I go to the 3/4 board.
BRIAN: contact.
From the 3/4 board go to the 12 o'clock. BRIAN: contact.
Go to glass
BRIAN: all right, so I got a target leaning to the left blue circle to the 10 o'clock from that is a
Orange barrier until the [9] o'clock is that roa-
That is your target check Parallax and [Mill]
BRIAN: 1.41
holdover 7.8
BRIAN: ready.
left point eight
holdover 7.8 BRIAN: ready
left .4
by I
Go to the 2/3 board. BRIAN: contact.
From the 2/3 board go to the three o'clock. [it's] [an] [E-type] silhouette. BRIAN: contact.
Go to glass.
BRIAN: All right, so you get a key type, silhouette leaning slightly of the right blue circle?
[Dark] Green grass around the head
BRIAN: Its body isn't th-
That is not your Target.
Go to the right side intersection Brian: contact come there right intersection go to the ten o'clock
You see a 12 inch plate Brian: contact from the 12 inch plate go to the 9:30
Approximately 40 mils you see an E type silhouette Brian: contact
Go to glass
BRIAN: Alright silhouette the body is in the dark grass the stake is in the light grass to the
One o'clock you [have] another e. Type silhouette. Deep-
That's your target. Check paralax and mil.
1.79
Check level
holdover 5.5
Brian: ready
left point three
holdover 5.5 Brian: ready
[center]
Shooter by I go to the two three board
Brian: contact
From the two three board go to the two thirty
approximately 10 mils
Brian: contact
Go to class
Brian: alright, this is [the] target where the bodies in the white grasp head is in the dark grass leaning slightly to the right blue circle
That is your target check Parallax and Mill
Brian: Got 1.7
Check level [holdover], [six-Point-seven]
Brian: ready
left point to
Gun lock and clear that is the correct way to talk on to a target and the correct [verbage] to use to engage that Target
