You carry a rifle capable of engaging threat targets at 460 meters; but all your training is basically “playing” on the flat range at 7 meters doing failure drills. That’s pistol distances, and your enemy have rifles. Your ammo is good to 400. Your Rifle is good to 400. You’ve got that LPVO or magnifier to identify threats at 400… The only thing lacking here is the “mammal” behind the gun NOT being trained out to 400. Battle Rifle-1 is where we start to fix this.

   This course is designed for shooters who truly want to learn the art of intermediate-range combat shooting. Training will focus mainly on “Battlefield” distances of 50 meters to 300 meters. Whether it is a civilian training for home/property defense or a LE/military member wanting to hone combat skills; this course will enlighten all skill levels with hard-learned techniques current taught to SOF operators. Attendees are strongly encouraged to attend the “Carbine Zero Mastery” course, conducted day prior, if they want to ensure their Zero and know their “hold-overs” before attending this intermediate-range course.
