BOOK A CLASS

Dynamic Engagement Rifle Course

This rifle course caters to experienced shooters across different backgrounds—law enforcement, competitors, home defense, and military and requires a focus on advanced skills, realism, and versatility. We will refine marksmanship fundamentals by reinforcing basics like sight alignment, trigger control, and breathing, but with a focus on precision and speed. We will then move on to advanced techniques such as shooting on the move, engaging multiple targets, and target prioritization. You will leave this course with more versatility and adaptability and be better prepared for various environments and situations to ensure you can adapt to different types of engagements. Students attending this course should be able to verify proficiency with a semi-auto rifle/carbine (AR platform) and safe gun handling procedure with live ammunition.
