Our 2 day rifle class was designed for the shooter who is ready to take their performance to the next level. Whether you are a responsible armed citizen with a focus on defensive shooting, you own a rifle for home defense, or you’re just exercising your 2nd Amendment right to own weapons, this class is for you! Shooting in any context requires us to be both fast and accurate. You simply cannot have one without the other. In this class we will start by doing a deep dive into the fundamentals of shooting. We will build a solid, principle-based foundation on day 1, and then learn how to apply those fundamentals to more complex shooting problems on day 2.
Topics Covered
Zeroing/zero confirmation and offsets
The fundamentals of grip/rifle mount, sight management, and trigger control
Stance, recoil management, and faster splits
Practical accuracy from 5 yards 50 yards +
Visual confirmation levels: identifying and applying the correct sighting solution for targets of any given size/distance
Presentations from varying start positions
Rifle reloads and sling management
Alternate shooting positions
Target transitions: targets at varying distances and sizes, close and wide transitions
Movement: entries and exits, blending positions, shooting on the move
Hit Factor scoring: how to utilize HF to properly measure both speed and accuracy and strike the best balance of both
Note: while beginner shooters will definitely benefit from this class, this SHOULD NOT be your first training class. Students will be required to have comprehensive understanding of gun safety, competent gun handling manipulations, and the ability to hit an A-zone or 8” circle on demand from 20 yards with no time limit.
REFUND POLICY: Refunds will only be given if Gateway Defense has to cancel a class. No refund will be given due to a student being unable to attend. A full class credit will be issued for a future Gateway Defense class by notifying brennan@gateway-defense.com no less than 14 days prior to the class date.
