Combat Rifle Optics is a technical training which will provide the student a tremendous degree of detail and knowledge regarding the types of scopes common to the modern battlefield. These include red dots, magnifiers, low power variable optics, Trijicon Advanced Combat Optical Gunsite (ACOG), and other products which are designed to help a shooter aim.
