Designed with the armed citizen in mind, and based on real-world principles and shooting fundamentals, this 2 day class is intended to develop skill and confidence with tactical rifles and carbines.
This class is tailored specifically for AR-15 pattern firearms, but other center-fire arms may be used, such as AK’s, FAL’s, M1A’s, etc…
This class is fast paced, and involves some fairly strenuous activity including walking, running, and time spent in the prone shooting position as well as various field positions.
Topics Covered Include:
- Rifle setup, configuration and accessories
- Battlesight zero with iron sights and optics
- Trigger and recoil management
- Maximizing cover and concealment with shooting positions
- Shooting on the move
- Weapon transitions, manipulations and malfunctions
- Engaging targets at CQB and intermediate ranges
- Team tactics fundamentals
