Description

Developed to answer the growing requests of law enforcement agencies nationwide, the Dark Horse Tactical-Patrol Designated Marksman Course (DHT-PDMC) is designed to take the capabilities of your patrol officers to the next level. 

This course will qualify your officers with a tool that will work as an entry element optic, as well as a close/medium range system; turning the patrol officer into a precision-capable member of your agency that can act as the missing link between the iron sight/red dot-equipped short-barreled patrol rifle and a precision SWAT sniper weapon system. 

The application of a Designated Marksman (DM) optic for any officer can increase accuracy, and the ability to positively identify threats at distance.

If you or your agency has found a need for higher magnification beyond the standard Patrol engagement range of 25 – 75 yds and the skills to use it to its potential, look no further!

Duration: 5 Days 

Course Price: $1050
