Gunset Tactical Rifle Standards

Date: Sat 8/17, 0900-1700ish

-Student Fee: $195

The American Rifleman is an essential figure throughout our nation's history. From the creation of these United States, when common men and women from all walks of life bore their personally owned arms to defend against injustices from the best trained and most feared military the world had ever seen - their own British regulars... through the reputation that has permeated every generation since, best described by Japanese Admiral Yamamoto who explained during WW2, "You cannot invade the mainland United States. There would be a rifle behind every blade of grass." ... to the modern Rifleman's steadfast relevance today in continuing to defend our Constitution.

If the AR15, AK47, or similar magazine-fed, semi-automatic rifle platform is a part of your defense plans for home, community, or Liberty, then please join us to learn how it best applies to the self defense of the civilian! This unique and proven course builds quickly to advanced skills that will sharpen and improve even the seasoned rifle operator, yet is truly designed to help anchor correct technique with a blank canvas. A new carbine owner would be well served and off to a safe and sound start. No prerequisites are required.

Tactical Rifle Standards is created with the average civilian rifle owner in mind. We will systematically build efficient and consistent manipulations of the platform, constantly optimizing the critical balance of speed and accuracy.

Throughout the day, we will extensively cover:

-- Firearm Safety

-- Recommended Rifle Setup and Gear, and why!

-- Marksmanship Fundamentals

-- Supported and Unsupported Field Positions (Standing, Kneeling, Seated, Prone)

-- How to discover and quickly and consistently find one's Natural Point of Aim (NPOA)

-- Clear understanding of Minute of Angle (MOA) and how to easily use it in the field

-- Ready Positions

-- Recoil Control

-- Trigger Management

-- Various Reloading Techniques

-- Malfunction Diagnosis and Clearing

-- Transition to Secondary Weapon System (Handgun)

-- Proper considerations for Speed and Accuracy

-- And much more!

All skills are reinforced and measured with drills that will challenge and improve you!

REQUIRED ITEMS - and some suggestions that will help you get the most out of your class:

--Notebook and writing utensils! Please take notes!

--Reliable Carbine and Handgun, properly cleaned and lubricated - spare firearms may be a wise choice in the event of a major failure.

--Rifle Sling - we strongly recommend a 2 point sling for this class. An excellent example is the Vickers VCAS sling.

--Handgun Holster - Outside the Waistband (OWB) holster preferred. To be permitted for use, it must cover the handgun’s trigger guard, provide adequate retention, and allow you to reholster one-handed. Holster that requires you to release a retention device with your trigger finger (e.g. Blackhawk Serpa) are not permitted.

--Spare Carbine Magazines - minimum 3, more is better

--Carbine Magazine Carrier - belt pouch and/or chest rig, plate carrier, etc. - I run both and explain why in class.

--Shooting mat, blanket, etc for prone shooting (optional)

--400 rounds minimum of carbine ammo

--50 rounds minimum of handgun ammo

--Eye and Ear protection

--Billed hat, Shirt with a high collar or tight neck, and appropriate clothing for shooting outdoors despite the weather

--Lunch - we will not be leaving the premises and will hold a working lunch

--PLENTY of water, Gatorade, etc, hand sanitizer, snacks, sunscreen, and any other comfort items you may need
