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 POLICYRefunds 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.
