Course Overview: 

This course is taught by an NRA certified instructor with a law enforcement and competitive rifle shooting sports background who will provide hands-on training for those students seeking to develop, strengthen, and improve their rifle/carbine skills. This course is interactive, requiring elements of physical movement, speed, accuracy, awareness, and base line assessments that are designed to improve and refine the student’s skillset. 

At the conclusion of the course the student will participate in a series of drills that will evaluate areas of potential growth and improvements. Instructor feedback is a critical element in this course and students will receive personal evaluations after each rifle/carbine practical skills exercise. 

There is ample opportunity in the classroom and range to achieve the desired skillset and you’ll find this course to be beneficial at blending relevant knowledge and practical live fire exercises to help you achieve your desired results!

The course duration is approximately 5 hours, depending on class size and number of questions asked, which includes a 4-hour live fire practical session.
