Course Overview:
This two-day course delivers practical, high-performance rifle training for those serious about real-world application — whether in uniform or for personal defense.
Led by Special Operations veterans with deep experience in training law enforcement, military, and responsible civilian shooters, this course goes beyond the fundamentals. You’ll start by building strong rifle manipulation skills and marksmanship techniques, then progress into dynamic movement, positional shooting, and integrating your handgun when it matters most.
You’ll work on speed, control, and adaptability — from rapid target transitions and cadence control to engaging from cover, switching shoulders, and managing malfunctions on the fly. The goal isn’t just hitting targets — it’s building confident, capable shooters who can operate efficiently in dynamic environments.
If you’re looking to take your rifle training to the next level and bridge the gap between flat-range shooting and real-world function, this course delivers.
