Fundamental Fighting Rifle/Carbine

Description

Rifle confrontations globally rarely go beyond 25 yards. Most research shows the rifle will most likely be used just outside the reach of handguns, as well as within Close Quarter Battle (CQB) environments.

Upon completion of this course, you will have the ability to quickly make hits from a variety of shooting positions at ranges out to 100+ yards. Weapon and ammunition selection; ballistics, zeroing, sight adjustments, mechanical hold over, loading and unloading, carrying/ready positions, and rapid assumption of shooting positions. (Note: Students need to come to class with their rifle zeroed. We will CONFIRM zero only.)
