Defensive Rifle

Description

BY APPOINTMENT ONLY (we are purposely driven to make your class as personalized for you as possible, therefore we onnly do small classes - generally 1-4 people at maximum with very rare exceptions given to already proficient groups of people).

Your personal course date is always scheduled on demand, as with all of our classes, in order to provide you with maximum flexibility. Contact us to schedule your course today! A non-refundable deposit of $100 is required at the time of scheduling your class. These classes may be rescheduled one time. I will do my best to accommodate you and your schedule.

This is not an NRA course, this is designed to be a foundational course which I have found benefits you in a PROPER introduction to self defense with a rifle, giving you the foundation to build from in order to go forward and take additional instruction from us with more advanced class time (see one-on-one below, and/or as we develop more advanced classes in time) or our training group/network (referral/s to other instructors I know and trust to give you the best training and value). This class is what has been deduced from experience and addresses the vast majority of questions and the public seeking information for using a rifle in self defense and puts you far ahead of the curve compared to all of the other 4 and 8 hour courses around the state of Colorado. Defensive Rifle is taught by an experienced instructor who will teach you:

Topics Covered

• What are the qualities of a good combat rifle;
• Recommended loadout for using a rifle defensively;
• Rifle ammunition selection for defensive depending upon your intended use and your environment of use;
• Rifle trajectory information;
• Zeroing your rifle;
• Guidance in selecting the proper caliber, ammunition, carry method, and storage/deployment options;
• I stress the importance of continuing education through books, instruction through other instructors, practical shooting events whether for competition or for recreation.
• Weapon presentation and shooting from a low ready position, high ready position, field ready position, and weapon slung position, all while maintaining strict safety and basic and advanced shooting skills.
• Weapon malfunctions and reloads, "running the gun".
• Written exam and practical shooting exam.
