Rifle Self Defense Course
The Rifle Self Defense Course costs $195 for the full day, including the Rifle Fundamentals Class and Intermediate Rifle Skills Class. In the Fundamentals class, we go over Firearms Safety and Safe Gun Handling, Defensive Rifle Options & Setups, Optics & Zero Options, and Long Gun Stance in the classroom. Then on the range we zero everyone’s gun, work on Form for Defensive Shooting & Practical Accuracy at Speed. Students can bring any semi-auto rifle they prefer, including a 22LR or a PCC .
The intermediate class in the afternoon covers Reloads, Transition Drills, Weak Side Shooting, Malfunctions and Shooting from Cover. As in the fundamentals class, all semi-auto rifle platforms are welcome. Bring what you plan to use for home defense, and we’ll help you get comfortable and confident using it.
