This portion of the academy is designed to teach the proper use of a rifle specifically for “defensive” purposes during life threatening situations that occur in the “Real World.”  You will master body positioning and rifle presentation so you will quickly be able to get on target and use your rifle as a defensive weapon. You will understand using cover and concealment and effective shooting positions, including standing, kneeling, seated and prone. We will discuss proper gear selection and a survivor’s mindset in-depth. Knowing how YOU will react using YOUR gear is a direct response of your level of training.
