Rifle Requirements: This course is conducted as an NRA America’s Rifle Challenge clinic and, as such, the AR-15 is an ideal rifle to bring. Any safe semi-automatic carbine can be used (AK-47, SKS, Mini-14, M1A1, etc.).
Estimated Ammunition Required: 200 rounds/day
Clinic Overview: Attendees will experience shooting in multiple firing positions at varying distances and will learn modern defensive shooting skills on the AR platform. All firing in this course will be within 100 yards with a focus on the close quarters environment from contact to 100 yards. You will get a workout with all the skills needed to run the carbine from 7-100 yards. The focus is on short range marksmanship.
This class is moderately physically demanding. We will be on our feet much of the day, moving between various locations on the range. We will be shooting from different positions throughout the day.
Attendees should arrive for registration at 8:30 am. Class starts promptly at 9:00!
