Training up American Riflemen

Urban Rifleman is the best carbine class around. Centered around the concept of use of the rifle for self defense, this class will help you master your carbine. A rifle is worthless unless its owner can not only shoot, but also fight with it. 

In this class, we will cover sling setup, optic placement, advanced marksmanship, quick & dirty rifle zeroing, rifle deployment, ready and firing positions, transitions to pistol, multiple shots, multiple targets, shooting and moving, advanced CQB and room clearing, use of cover, and team movement and tactics. 

The focus of this class is urban and close distance applications faced by civilians, military, and law enforcement. 

Prerequisites: NONE. 

Class is held 8:30 am - 5:30 pm both days.

Two-day introduction to Civilian Sniper Craft

Many people ask how far we will shoot. 

The real question is how far can YOU shoot ACCURATELY?

This class will cover precision marksmanship to at least 500 yards, urban & rural applications, team tactics and maneuvers, MOA / MIL - what they are and why you need to know all about them, building up a stable shooting platform (including improvised rests) in multiple positions and situations, effective range estimation, effective wind reading and calls, dialing dope, holdovers, bipod use, use of makeshift steadying devices, and more!

Patriot Training recommends the use of an accurized semi-auto for this class. It will serve as a "Scoped Carbine II" class.
