Advanced Combat Rifle 7DEC24
Welcome to the 6th and final installment of the Fall 2024 Combat Rifle Series: Advanced Combat Rifle.
The Combat Rifle Series is a program consisting of six 1-day immersive classes that covers everything you need to know of how to use a modern carbine or fighting rifle, and how to understand the tool’s role in the greater tactical framework of modern human conflict, starting with the basics, and going all the way into low light fighting, night vision, close quarter battle, teamwork and tactics, precision shooting out to 400 meters and beyond, how to use red dots and magnifiers, lasers, LPVO and ACOG scopes, ballistic theory, and so much more!
The full package of 6 classes gives you an awesome price of $96 per class, between August 15th and August 31st, as a reward for those who are bold enough to grab the bull by the horns. Then the price will go back to standard price. Each class is action packed and 10 hours long. If you have a schedule conflict, you may simply mix and match with future class dates, to customize your package to your schedule. Email Brian at info@monarchdefense.org for details.

Description:
There is no such thing as advanced training; There is only mastery of the basics or lack thereof, so during Advanced Combat Rifle, let’s put it all together, and master the basics of everything that you have learned so far about zeroing, ballistic theory, breathing and squeezing, day optics, close quarter battle, teamwork and battle drills, manipulations and malfunctions, movement and safety, white light, and low light…then add we will add night vision, lasers, thermal optics, cold and wet weather, and do it all together in the dark. Show me you have mastered all of the basics, and I will show you an advanced practitioner of the martial art and science of riflecraft.
You have been putting in some serious time and work coming to class at Monarch Defense, and as we end our 2024 together, I want to tell you I’m proud of you, and thankful for your support, patronage, and friendship. Now, as we end our year, it is time for you to take the next step in your training. I’ll tell you a secret: None of our classes at Monarch Defense are end user level classes. What does this mean? It means all classes are train the trainer classes, designed to teach you how to safely guide, supervise, lead, coach, and assist others in learning the same concepts that you have learned. Show me that you have learned everything thus far in the Combat Rifle Series, by showing me that you can teach quickly and clearly any topic that you think you know. Then, in 2025, help me teach the next generation of students of riflecraft. It would make me proud to present you before new students, and let you take the stage.
