EXPERT RIFLEMAN CLASS INFORMATION

PURPOSE

This class is to teach you how to be a Rifleman - and shoot all the way to 400 yards with your rack grade rifle and standard ammo!!!  Can't shoot 400 yards? Can't see 400 yards? Haven't shot to 400 yards? That's OK - we will show you how! 


This is the premier MARKSMANSHIP & MID RANGE CARBINE class on the market today!


Want a challenge? Take this class with IRON SIGHTS!


Even if you are already an accomplished marksman, we have the ability to make this class challenging for YOU! 

 

Topics Include:

  • Practical Marksmanship from 50 to 400 yards
  • Common fighting rifle zeroes and implications
  • Presentation of the rifle. 
  • How to deal with stoppages   
  • Drop and wind considerations
  • Known Distance Shooting: 100 - 200 - 300 - 400 yards
  • Shooting positions - standing, kneeling, sitting, prone, and variations.
  • Shooting and moving. 
  • Mid Range tactics. 



POLICE / MILITARY

Expert Rifleman is a class on marksmanship with an emphasis on mid range carbine skills. Because of this, many current and former police, and many current and former military, have initially thought the class to be too "basic" for them. Yet, every single one who was brave enough to put his ego aside and participate in this class, has had nothing but spectacular things to say. Over 50% of the material in Expert Rifleman is not covered or not emphasized properly in most military and law enforcement training. Plus, civilian methods, techniques, and certainly tactics are going to be much different, by default. Come on down and take this class - you'll be glad you did! 



PARTICIPATION

Participation is only open to legal, US Citizens or permanent residents (green card holders) per ITAR (22 CFR §§120-130)


Participation by "prohibited persons" (ie convicted felons) is not permitted.

WHAT THIS CLASS IS NOT:

  • This is not a sniper class. Leave your scoped bolt action at home.
  • This is not a sub-MOA shooting class. Goal here is to shoot 4 MOA.
