SUMMARY:Combat Rifle Optics 12OCT24
DESCRIPTION:ACOG vs. LPVO vs. Red Dot & Magnifier \nFor decades\, the Trijicon Advanced Combat Optical Gunsight\, or ACOG\, has been the king of weapon sights\, renown for of it’s toughness\, reliability\, quality\, and compact size\, but in recent years\, the development of smaller\, lighter\, and more capable low powered variable scopes has challenged the traditional notion that glass optics can only be used for long range shooting. Let’s also not forget the classic red dot and magnifier combination\, pioneered by EoTech\, that gives users both ideal speed in low light and at close ranges\, and also increased capabilities to identify and engage targets at distance. Which of these is the best? How do you use all of these various types of scopes on a general duty carbine?  \nCarbines that once used to be considered good for only 200-300 meters with iron sights these days have gained the advantages of free floating barrels\, match triggers\, quality ammunition\, and can easily hit targets out to 600 meters or more with the right training\, skill\, and optical sighting device. \nIn this specialty seminar let’s understand the unique niche that the Low Power Variable Optics\, ACOGs\, and Red Dot + Magnifier sights holds in the modern age of sporting and combat weapons\, allowing users to shoot faster\, and farther\, greatly extending a carbine’s flexibility and precision while still maintaining light weight\, a low profile\, reliability\, toughness\, and good close range weapons handling.   \nLearn how to maximize the strengths of your optic\, while mitigating and overcoming it’s weaknesses. Gather specific tips on zeroing\, range estimation\, reticle selection\, and engaging targets both near and far. If you have recently acquired a surplus ACOG through our school’s group buy\, or are considering purchasing one\, this is a great class for you to learn all about what it can do\, what it can’t do\, and how to use it. If you are looking to upgrade the sighting system on your rifle\, attend this class first before you potentially waste thousands of dollars on poor quality gear. We provide rifles and scopes for you to borrow!   \nWelcome to Part 4 of the Fall 2024 Combat Rifle Series: Combat Rifle Optics \nThe 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.  \nFall 2024 Combat Rifle Series dates: \nFall 2024 Combat Rifle Series dates: \nBasic Combat Rifle\, Saturday 31st of August\, 2024.Live Fire Battle Drills\, Saturday 14th of September\, 2024.Fundamentals of Riflecraft\, Saturday 29th of September\, 2024.Combat Rifle Optics\, Saturday 12th of October\, 2024. Close Quarters Combat Rifle\, Saturday November 9th\, 2024.Advanced Combat Rifle\, Saturday December 7th\, 2024.  \nAlternate Dates: (In case you miss the earlier dates and still want to join for the later advanced classes) \nBasic Combat Rifle\, Saturday 27th of October\, 2024.Fundamentals of Riflecraft\, Sunday 10th of November\, 2024. \n\n\n\nPrerequisite: \n\n\n\nYou must have prior safe weapons handling experience to attend this seminar.  \n\n\n\nTopics:  \n\n\n\nDesign philosophy of lightweight low power variable scopesDesign philosophy of the Trijicon Advanced Combat Optical GunsightWhat makes a successful combat optic?Basic overview of function and capabilitiesProper mounting and levelingEye reliefDiopter adjustmentParallaxCleaning and MaintenanceUsing the reticle to range and shoot farther targetsBindon Aiming ConceptFirst focal plane vs. Second focal planeBackup sights and piggyback red dotsMounting to Kalashnikov and rifles other than ar15/ar10How much magnification do I need? Tall mounts vs. regular height mountsProper zeroing procedureMinutes of angle and MilliradiansHoldovers and holdundersFast wind estimationLow light considerationsRealistic and theoretical effective rangesHigh stress shooting and moving drills from 0-600 meters \n\n\n\nSchedule:  \n8:45 am Setup\, issue out ammo and weapons 9:00 am Safety brief and theory12:00 noon Low intensity dry practice and slow live fire to learn new technical skills 3:00 pm High intensity\, high round count moving and shooting drills5:00 pm Debrief\, clean up\, open range practice7:00 pm Go home  \n\n\n\n\n\nLocation: \nOur facility is in the mountains 1 hour east of San Jose\, 1 hour south from Livermore.

SUMMARY:Principles of CQB 19OCT24
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to the Winter 2024-2025 Urban Series! This program consists of nine seminars spanning October through March\, that will cover everything you need to know about how to use a modern pistol\, shotgun\, and carbine\, how to navigate and your way through rooms\, doorways\, hallways\, and how to understand the weapon’s role in the greater tactical framework of modern crime\, home defense\, concealed carry\, and SHTF (Shit Hit The Fan\, zombies\, natural disaster\, civil unrest\, etc.). We’ll start with the basics\, going all the way into low light gunfighting\, close quarter battle\, teamwork and tactics\, force on force training with real live adversaries who shoot and stab back\, how to calibrate and use red dots on your pistol\, how to shoot your pistol with speed and precision\, patterning buckshot\, how bullets go through walls and cars\, and so much more! \nEach 10 hour day of training brings you exciting new opportunities for niche topics\, specialized equipment such as Simunition non-lethal weapons and ammunition\, moving targets\, live fire inside our ballistic shoot house from inside a vehicle\, and lots of full speed shooting and moving repetition from the holster to build up your confidence! Meet new friends and mentors along the way as you train together class after class! Don’t have gear? Don’t worry\, we supply all weapons\, ammunition\, holsters\, and protective equipment; All you need to do is bring yourself\, a good attitude\, and a belt.  \nPick your package of any 6 classes! Mix and match whatever fits your skill level\, your schedule\, and your interests for an awesome price of just $124 per class. The first twelve students to buy the package receive an additional 22.5% off\, so that’s only $96 per day of training! This is the reward for those who are bold enough to grab the bull by the horns. Hesitate and you’ll miss out! If during the series you get a schedule conflict\, or want to reschedule a date\, simply email Brian at info@monarchdefense.org to take a credit for something else!  \nWant to join more than 6 classes? Buy the package\, and add additional classes in the series for only $56 each! Sounds crazy\, right? We aim to take care of our loyal students. Ready to look at your calendar?   \nDates included in this series:  \nOctober 19th\, 2024 – Principles of Close Quarter BattleNovember 16th\, 2024 – High Intensity Gunfight DrillsNovember 24th\, 2024 – Fundamentals of PistolcraftDecember 14th\, 2024 –  Home Defense ShotgunDecember 15th\, 2024 – Live Fire Solo CQBJanuary 11th\, 2025 – Performance PistolJanuary 26th\, 2025 – Fundamentals of PistolcraftFebruary 8th\, 2025 – Partner Force on Force CQBFebruary 9th\, 2025 – PDW\, PCC\, and AR PistolsMarch 8th\, 2025 – Advanced Concealed Handgun \nIf a private citizen must conduct armed self defense\, it will invariably be within the urban environment\, such as in and around cars\, parking lots\, homes\, offices\, or local businesses. Thus\, all students of self defense gunfighting should learn how to fight and move and problem solve in the urban environment\, right? \nOh\, but in our industry there is a magical aura around ‘Close Quarter Battle’\, you have to whisper the words…This dark magic is only for the elite\, The Special Navy Delta Recon Green Power Rangers… Yet\, once you actually get in front of one of these “Tier 1” instructors\, you realize that their professional experience has absolutely no bearing on the life and reality of normal people. You hear such nonsense as “I don’t teach CQB to civilians”\, “you cannot do CQB by yourself”\, “kneel down when reloading so your buddies can shoot over the top of your head then wait until someone grabs your armor to pull you up”…Does any instructor have a program that teaches regular civilians how to fight\, defend\, and win inside and around cars\, parking lots\, gas stations\, homes\, and businesses? \nWe do.  \nIn this specialty seminar let’s understand the unique environment that buildings entail for modern day defensive gunfighting. We can begin by understanding the context of military style CQB doctrine\, and how the goals of military or police in offense are very different from the goals of civilians in defense\, yet the basic principles remain unchanged. Compare and contrast the major schools of thought between charging directly into rooms\, versus methodically clearing rooms from the doorway. Learn how to maximize the strengths of cover and concealment afforded by doorways and hallways\, while overcoming the challenges of restricted and narrow terrain. Gather specific tips on footwork\, how to move\, and how to win against a live opponent who fights back.  \n\n\n\nPrerequisite: \n\n\n\nYou must have prior safe weapons handling experience to attend this seminar.  \n\n\n\nTopics:  \n\n\n\nWhat is Close Quarter Battle?Stalingrad 1942\, the birth of modern urban fighting doctrineFighting foot forwardAngles\, angles\, anglesKnowns vs. unknowns2 types of entry2 types of rooms2 types of corners2 types of doorHuman reaction timeAdvantages of the defenseAdvantages of the offenseForce on force practical exercise \n\n\n\n\n\nLocation: \nOur facility is in the mountains 1 hour east of San Jose\, 1 hour south from Livermore. Detail directions will be emailed to those who sign up.

SUMMARY:Firearm Safety Class 26OCT24
DESCRIPTION:Monarch Defense’s Firearm Safety Class is the most important class we offer\, and the most important class you will ever take during your self defense training. That’s why it is now free. \nLet’s face it. If self defense was easy\, you could just watch a few videos\, and “figure it out” by yourself. If firearms were easy\, schools such as ours would have no reason to exist. But that’s just not reality. Good people go to jail every day\, because they don’t know what they are doing. Good people become victims of crime every day\, because they don’t know what they are doing. Good people get hurt every day because they don’t know what they are doing. The study of firearms and self defense is a complex amalgamation of history\, science\, psychology\, and physical skill. Weapons are not toys\, and if used improperly can result in serious safety or legal hazards to you and your loved ones. \nThe problem that I often face as a teacher is students who want the “advanced” stuff and want to skip the basics. Folks expect to just buy a gun\, and magically know how and when to shoot bad guys. Some people watch some videos and think they are ready to go straight into fast\, cool training\, but this isn’t how it works. “Advanced” is just another word for “mastery of the basics”. There is no such thing as advanced training; There are only those who have taken the time to develop their foundation\, and those who haven’t. When beginners show up to advanced training without a solid foundation of attitude\, skill\, and knowledge\, all they will find is frustration. Out on the street there are winners\, and there are losers; There are those who mastered the basics\, and those who found out the hard way that they didn’t. This program exists to prepare you for a successful future in protecting yourself\, so that you can make wise decisions regarding buying\, learning\, carrying\, and using firearms. \nOver the last 11 years teaching professionally\, I have strived to design a thorough hands on learning experience which answers all of the questions that you need to know to get started. Information that you can’t just find online\, such as the role of weapons in society\, why peaceful people would have a need for “weapons of war”\, specifically when you can and cannot shoot someone\, the actual crimes that you can prevent with a gun\, real self defense case studies\, hands on comparison between the different types of guns\, so you can understand their real capabilities and limitations (not just Hollywood)\, proper gun handling procedures\, and live fire demonstrations. \nYou will handle and shoot a wide variety of modern firearms\, including pistols\, revolvers\, rifles\, and shotguns. \nLocation: \nOur facility is in the mountains 1 hour east from San Jose\, or 1 hour south from Livermore. If you are an unskilled or inexperienced driver\, give yourself 2 hours to make the drive from most cities of the bay area. We will email detailed driving instructions to you when you sign up. \nSchedule:  \nWe begin together and end together. If you sign up\, plan to stay until we debrief and clean up. \nThis is a two part class: Firearm Safety Class starts at 9am and ends at roughly 3pm. We do not stop for lunch\, although you may bring food and eat during class. Beginner’s Live Fire Range day starts at 3pm and goes until 7pm\, or later\, depending on how fast the class learns. In the winter\, we split the class into two separate days. In the warmer months\, we offer them back to back. If you sign up to shoot\, clear your schedule and plan to be at the facility for the entire day. \nPrerequisites: \nNone \nRequired Equipment:  \nNotebook and writing utensil\nWater\nSnacks\nLunch\nDress for the weather\nPrescription glasses\, safety glasses\, or sunglasses\nEarplugs or ear muffs\nFirearms are provided\, but you may also bring your own. \nCancellations: \nWe do not offer refunds for discretionary cancellations. If you wish to reschedule a class\, you must email info@monarchdefense.org no later than 1 hour prior to class start\, and you will then be credited with the value of your course\, which you can gift to someone else or use for any future class within 1 year. \nQuestions?
