This class is designed for beginner to advanced rifle shooters.  Students can bring their own AR15 or use ours.   We will use high-tech training aids (MantisX10) to analyze technique for rapid improvement.  We will also utilize drop-in lasers and aids that allow trigger reset for indoor training.  Ammunition will be provided for the outdoor portion of the class.

 

We will "zero" (calibrate sights) rifles for students that bring their own.  Students will get to shoot paper targets, steel targets, clay pigeons, and bowling pins.

 

We will cover the following topics:

-Animations of how an AR15 works

-Ammunition

-Firearm safety

-Grip

-Stance
