Description
Practice with your new semi-automatic rifle! This class is great for beginners who may have never shot an AR, and who want to familiarize themselves with their firearm.
We will spend some time in the classroom to go over all of the parts of your firearm. Then, we’ll head to the range to zero in your rifle, then practice shooting. This is a high round count class focusing on the fundamentals of shooting and incorporating reloads.
We will work on reducing the firearm’s recoil by getting you in the correct body position. We will go over different ways to handle the firearm to enhance your ability to manipulate your AR. You’ll gain better control of your firearm during this class.
Patience is required by the student and questions are encouraged. Please consider taking this class multiple times.
