    [FONT=&amp]Our next Defensive Rifle (DR210) class will be held on Saturday 19AUG17 near Terre Haute, Indiana. This class is intended for individuals who keep a rifle for potential defensive use. Most civilian defense situations will occur at relatively close range (less than 50 yards) and the dynamics of close quarters use of the rifle differ considerably from longer range engagements. Any fully-functional, centerfire repeating rifle or carbine will suffice for this class, but a self-loader is recommended.


    NOTE: We will be doing a "battle field pickup" exercise. Should you want to participate you will need to bring some .223; .308; 7.62x39 .22lr and shotgun slugs. I say "some" because there will be those that may wish to run the exercise more than once. 5 to 10 of each will be plenty. This is, of course, in addition to your ammunition for the rest of the class.

    I'll be using my Trapdoor Springfield if I can work out ammo carriage for 500 rounds of 45-70.
    I do need to get a bayonet before then, for the bugle call and charge drills.

    John,
    For the battlefield pickup portion, do we need to bring additional firearms with the extra ammo?
    In short, do I need to bring my shotgun?
    Thanks!
