Description
The WHAT: Learn how to be an effective rifleman with your semi-automatic rifle or carbine!. This class is focused on the use of the rifle as a defensive tool and covers everything from marksmanship fundamentals, setting up your weapon, to basic tactics for success. Rifle Ready 1 serves as a fundamentals-platform for those wanting to be proficient in understanding, maintaining, and shooting their rifle at an instinctual level. During this class, students will spend time in both the classroom and on the range.
The WHY: Semi automatic rifles such as the AR15 are fast becoming one of the most popular firearms in America. Even so, most citizens that own these weapons rarely shoot their rifles outside of special occasions, and even fewer train with them. The modern Semi-automatic rifle is a force multiplier, equally as effective regulating large rural properties or defending your family from intruders that would do them harm.
The PROCESS: Once a student has signed up for this course, more information about class time, location, details of the course, and recommended gear will be sent to them. Instructors will be open to emails to answer any questions prior to the course-start. Typically, a FREE online webinar will be hosted a month prior to the class for students to attend and ask questions.
