URBAN RIFLEMAN
The Rifleman in an Urban Environment
Use cover, concealment, help your partner, and more! The typical self defense engagement happens at under 100 yards, and this class specializes in that!
PURPOSE
Urban Rifleman covers techniques and tactics needed by the Rifleman to engage at the most common engagement distances – inside of 100 yards! The rifleman needs to know how to present the rifle, hit targets, fix stoppages, and use positions to their maximum effect. A thorough understanding of cover and concealment, and how to use them is presented in this class. How to engage targets from standard and unorthodox positions, and being able to make a hit while using cover will be the goal of the participant in each segment. Just as important as shooting is moving, and this class makes sure to cover proper principles of movement.
