Rifle 1: Fundamentals 

This class is focused on the foundational principals that make the rifle relevant to modern day fighting and self defense. These principals will be applicable to the highest levels of rifle proficiency. Students will need a functioning semi automatic rifle or carbine, preferably in the AR-15/M4 variant. Exceptions are applicable in the high capacity carbine or AK variants. All ammunition must be ball ammo. (NO GREEN TIP).

The class will fire 400-600 rounds. It is preferred to have 3 or more magazines of at least 30 round capacity. (More magazines are necessary for pistol caliber carbines with smaller capacity mags.) Students will be encouraged to train in the most relevant gear conditions to their lifestyle. Example: If you are most likely to grab your rifle from the trunk or it is staged in the house in case of emergency and no duty belt or vest setup is applicable, train from your packets as is realistic to your use of the weapon. If you are in law enforcement and wear mag holders or heavy vests, train like you plan to fight. All options will be covered. No handguns will be needed for this class.
