Pre-Requisite: Basic AR-15 / M-4 Rifle Course & AR/M4 Rifle Deployment Course

Course Description: This 2-day (20-24 hours) firearms training course focuses on tactical speed shooting, reflexive gun-handling skills, and dynamic, aggressive action during tactical deployment of the rifle weapons system for personal protection and home defense. Students will develop tactical acumen that will enable them to quickly and efficiently engage threats while performing multiple complex tasks. This firearms training course is fast, demanding, and quickly reveals an individual's gun-handling skills. We take the student beyond the basics of the "shoot - scoot - shout" concept and immerse the student in to tactics, techniques, and procedures that are critical when deploying the rifle for personal/home/property defense.
