Combat Rifle Fundamentals 7JUN25

Combat Rifle Fundamentals is a technical marksmanship class which will teach the student the skills necessary to shoot a rifle accurately and confidently up to 4 minutes of angle which equates to 100% hit probability on a man sized target at 400 meters. Our primary focus in shooting stance will be to learn the Rifleman’s prone position, also known as unsupported prone positions. This class is calm and slow, and does not require any running, crawling, or other athletic movement.

This class is part of the summer 2025 Combat Rifle Small Group Semi-Private Class Series. We schedule classes based upon the student’s request, with groups of 3-6 students at a time. This program consists of eight 5-hour modules. These modules are: 

1. Combat Rifle Theory
2. Basic Combat Rifle
3. Combat Rifle Fundamentals
4. Combat Rifle Optics
5. Shoot Move Communicate
6. Close Quarters Combat Rifle
7. Night Combat Rifle
8. Advanced Combat Rifle
