URBAN RIFLEMAN

---

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 knows how to fight with it - knowing "how to shoot" is simply not enough.

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

Calendar

March 22-23, 2025 

August 23-24, 2025

Most Patriot Training classes sell out quickly. However, we frequently have participants who have schedule changes, and cannot make the class they bought for whatever reason.

Therefore, we offer a "STANDBY" list. Of course, this does not guarantee you a spot. However, most classes get one or two reschedules - usually the last week right before class. 

Email us and we will put you on standby for the class at no charge. Of course, if a spot opens up, then you will need to act quickly to buy that spot!
