Building on the foundation of Close Range Rifle/Carbine I, this course delves deeper into the 50-yard and closer range problem set. It expands on the skills learned previously, with a greater focus on rifle marksmanship, manipulation, and the application of critical thinking and problem-solving under stress.

We will address both simple and complex malfunctions, incorporate movement while shooting, and introduce unorthodox and bilateral shooting techniques. The use of cover and barricades will also be covered, enhancing your ability to adapt to real-world situations. In today’s uncertain times, mastering the ability to employ a rifle/carbine to protect yourself and your loved ones is a crucial part of building your personal protective system.

If you are using a Red Dot or LPVO, back-up sights are highly recommended.
