SUMMARY:High Intensity Gunfighting Drills 6SEP25
DESCRIPTION:High Intensity Gunfighting Drills is not designed to teach any specific techniques\, but rather provide the student with an opportunity for high repetition\, high round count guided practice\, providing a safe place to experiment and fail\, and helping the student develop confidence in his or her gun handling abilities. The value in this training module is variety. Hence each of these classes will be unique and will cater to the skill level and needs of the class. My intention is that students regularly repeat this module\, and can use this as a blank canvas to express their growth in the martial art and science of firearms for self defense.  \nThis class is part of the Combat Rifle School. We schedule small group instruction based upon the your request. This program consists of the following 49 unique five hour modules\, plus additional practical and field exercises.

SUMMARY:Combat Rifle Fundamentals 7SEP25
DESCRIPTION: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. \nThis class is part of the Combat Rifle School. We schedule small group instruction based upon the your request. This program consists of the following 49 unique five hour modules\, plus additional practical and field exercises.

SUMMARY:Combat Rifle Optics 7SEP25
DESCRIPTION: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)\, conventional rifle scopes\, and other products which are designed to help a shooter aim. Your goal is to leverage the capabilities of modern optical aiming devices to increase your precision from 4 MOA to 2 MOA\, and your effective engagement range on man sized targets from 400m to 800m\, while maintaining speed and close range defensive engagement capability.  \nThis class is part of the Combat Rifle School.

SUMMARY:Basic Defensive Shotgun 13SEP25
DESCRIPTION:In this specialty seminar let’s understand the unique tool that is the shotgun. Shotguns have a long history of defensive usage and they have significant advantages in some ways\, but significant disadvantages in others. Compare and contrast the the performance\, ease of use\, cost\, and complexity of semi automatic shotguns versus pump action shotguns\, 12 gauge versus 20 gauge shotguns\, 00 buckshot vs #1 buckshot\, vs #2\, 3\, and 4 buckshot. Consider the purpose and proper usage of slugs. Learn how various loads will pattern for your particular gun\, barrel length and choke. Gather tips on how to accessorize your weapon\, how to use it in low light conditions\, and how to introduce the idea of a shotgun for home defense to your spouse and family members.  \nThis class is part of the Combat Rifle School. We schedule small group instruction based upon the your request. This program consists of the following 49 unique five hour modules\, plus additional practical and field exercises.

SUMMARY:Night Defensive Handgun 13SEP25
DESCRIPTION:Night Defensive Handgun will push the student out of his or her comfort zone to properly utilize the pistol or revolver in the dark\, to include training on specific techniques for using white light while mitigating the drawbacks of using a weapon mounted or handheld light. This training will develop the student’s confidence in the EDC (every day carry) pocket flashlight\, and in carrying a weapon for real life self defense.  \nThis class is part of the Combat Rifle School.

SUMMARY:Tactical Precision Rifle Wind 19SEP25
DESCRIPTION:In precision long range rifle shooting\, distance and elevation corrections are very predictable and easy to calculate. That is a science. On the other hand\, feeling the wind\, seeing the wind\, predicting the wind\, knowing how the wind flows – how the sun\, weather\, oceans\, and mountains affects the flow of air over the earth – that is an art that takes nuance and experience to master. In this module I will present to you key concepts for how to visualize how the wind is moving\, then a few simple quick mathematical formulas for how to estimate how much the wind will effect your bullet in flight\, and how to compensate for it. Then\, we will practice together\, and on your own you will practice\, and practice\, and practice.  \nExpect our training to begin by confirming zero at 100 meters on paper\, then we will move to the western ridge to engage targets across the valley between 400 and 1200 meters distance with distinct and challenging cross winds.  \nOur goal is to build up your experience reading the wind\, such that you can reliably achieve first round impacts on man sized targets at 600 meters\, 2nd round impacts out to 1000 meters.   \nRemember\, we can provide for you all weapon systems\, scopes\, ammunition\, and equipment. You are certainly welcome to bring and use your own\, but buying expensive gear is not necessary to participate in this training course. Always communicate proactively with the instructor if you need to use the school’s equipment and ammunition so that we can prepare for you.  \nThis class is part of the Combat Rifle School. We schedule small group instruction based upon the your request. This program consists of the following 49 unique five hour modules\, plus additional practical and field exercises.

SUMMARY:TPR Putting It All Together 20SEP25
DESCRIPTION:In this final module of the Tactical Precision Rifle Series\, we will put everything that you have learned together to help you develop as a well practiced\, cohesive\, and confident shooter and team member. You will be responsible for finding the distance to your target\, for zeroing your weapon\, for developing firing solutions\, for spotting each other\, and for estimating your own wind calls. In other words\, all other CR and TPR modules were simply to prepare you for starting your actual training now.  \nRemember\, we can provide for you all weapon systems\, scopes\, ammunition\, and equipment. You are certainly welcome to bring and use your own\, but buying expensive gear is not necessary to participate in this training course. Always communicate proactively with the instructor if you need to use the school’s equipment and ammunition so that we can prepare for you.  \nThis class is part of the Combat Rifle School. We schedule small group instruction based upon the your request. This program consists of the following 49 unique five hour modules\, plus additional practical and field exercises.
