Two Day Intensive Rifle Course

Scheduled hours: Saturday 9am – 10pm (with lunch and dinner breaks); Sunday 9am – 6pm (with lunch break)

In today’s world we must be prepared for literally anything. As part of our preparations, many of us have purchased rifles for self-defense.

Deploying a rifle to defend yourself and your loved ones is no small task. While we typically carry a handgun for dealing with random acts of violent crime, a rifle is more likely to be employed during large scale events where there is a breakdown of basic services and police are nowhere to be found.

This intensive two-day course is designed to assist you with becoming competent and proficient with the rifle as a self-defense tool. In addition to being able to operate the rifle itself, we will also discuss rifle accessories, carrying of the rifle and spare ammunition, and the law of self-defense regarding use of a rifle.

Topics covered will include:

·      Conditions and considerations for deploying a rifle for self-defense

·      Setting up your rifle for self-defense

·      Tactical gear to support the rifle – slings, ammunition carriers, etc.

·      Carrying the rifle with and without a sling

·      Fundamentals of rifle marksmanship

·      Deploying the rifle for self-defense

·      Verbalization and de-escalation for self-defense

·      Reloading and stoppages

·      Standard firing positions

·      Post-incident procedures

·      Movement with the rifle

·      Low-Light Shooting

·      Use of cover and concealment

·      Using the rifle while wounded

·      Alternate firing positions and techniques

·      Transition from rifle to handgun

This is an intensive 20-hour course over two days.  Running a rifle for an entire day can be physically demanding.

Students will be expected to stay focused and handle their weapons in a careful and responsible manner throughout the course.  If you are not sure if this course if for you, please talk to us before registering.
