SUMMARY:Precision Rifle D.O.P.E. 16MAY26
DESCRIPTION:D.O.P.E. is an acronym that stands for “data on prior engagements”. Generally you think of a rifle’s zero as calibrating the rifle’s point of impact to the point of aim at one distance. In long distance rifle shooting we actually have a baseline zero like normal\, then we gather as many as possible additional zeros at known distances in order to gather data to predict future shots.  \nExpect our training to begin by confirming zero at 100 meters on paper\, then we will move back to shoot at steel targets from 100 meters all the way 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. If you would like to participate in this training program\, call Brian at 408-892-5460 or email info@monarchdefense.org to apply. \nFollow this link to register: https://combatrifleschool.mykajabi.com/offers/3mfBJRzL\nPrerequisite: \n\n\n\nCombat Rifle TheoryBasic Combat RifleCombat Rifle FundamentalsCombat Rifle OpticsPrecision Rifle TheoryPrecision Rifle Fundamentals \n\n\n\nLocation: \nOur facility is in the mountains 1 hour east of San Jose\, 1 hour south from Livermore.

SUMMARY:High Intensity Gunfighting Drills 17MAY26
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.  \nClick here to register: https://combatrifleschool.mykajabi.com/offers/zFDvhsE4/checkout \nThis class is part of the Combat Rifle School.
