What is Rifle Self-Defense Fundamentals?

With the increasing threat of violent crime, more people are choosing to learn personal protection skills. Unfortunately, many students never have the opportunity to train under instructors who have real-world experience in surviving life-or-death self-defense situations. 

Rifle Self-Defense Fundamentals is the result of 50+ YEARS of combined operational experience in law enforcement, national security, and high-risk security operations that introduces you to the skills necessary for defending oneself using a carbine rifle.

During this 6-hour live-fire class you'll learn the basics of how to use your rifle in a self-defense scenario. You can expect to receive lots of hands-on practice, instruction, and feedback to help develop and hone your technique both on the range and at home.

Here’s What You’ll Learn

• How to safely & efficiently manipulate your rifle on the move

• How to efficiently reload and acquire your targets

• How to accurately engage and shoot targets at varying distances

• How to move and shoot targets in defensive scenarios

• How to improve your rifle gun-handling skills on your own
