We will begin the day with weapon setup, parts of the weapon, disassembly/reassembly, function checking, and zeroing your rifle. You will learn how to employ your rifle at various distances, firing positions, and rates of fire. By the end of the course, you will have mastered the basics of safely operating a Pistol and AR-type rifle - shooting positions, grip, sight picture, sight alignment, trigger squeeze, clearing stoppages, and magazine changes. You will learn how to take your weapon from the point of storage to effective rounds on target. This will be accomplished by learning how to store, retrieve, load, and employ your weapon efficiently and effectively, as well as address the lawful use of force.

Participants who complete this course will be eligible for a non-resident concealed weapons permit. These permits are valid for a term of 7 years in 36 states.
