Advanced Combat Rifle 6-7JUL24

Welcome to the much anticipated 2024 Combat Rifle Series! This program consists of four two-day immersive classes, that will cover all topics having to do with combat rifle craft, starting with the basics, and going all the way into night vision, close quarter battle, long range shooting and snipercraft. Classes include: 

June 1-2, 2024 – Basic Combat Rifle
July 6-7, 2024 – Advanced Combat Rifle
August 3-4, 2024 – Special Purpose Rifle
September 7-8, 2024 – Tactical Precision Rifle

Prerequisite:

You must have prior safe weapons handling experience. 

Description: 

Advanced Combat Rifle will review everything we learned in Basic Combat Rifle, all weapon manipulations, malfunction clearing procedures, moving and shooting, shooting fast, zeroing, fundamentals of marksmanship, and man sized target engagements out to 400 meters. Then on top of this foundation we will add the use of daytime combat optics, such as LPVO, ACOG, red dot and magnifier, white light, night vision, infrared lasers, secondary weapons, buddy pair teamwork, basic fire and maneuver, and conventional (dynamic) close quarter battle. Whereas in Basic Combat Rifle I really encouraged the students to strip down their weapons to the bare basics, Advanced Combat Rifle is the time to learn and understand how to use all of your bells and whistles.
