*This is a very demanding course. Be prepared to be physically and mentally challenged and be ready to work.
*This is NOT a basic rifle course. Students should have a solid working knowledge of how to manipulate a rifle.
The focus of this course is on elevated and updated rifle precision and manipulation skills during tactical operations. This course offers students an enhanced understanding of human body awareness (body mechanics, athletic performance) as it pertains to physical coordination during combative engagements. The training offers students an increased sense of importance with the OODA Loop thought process, and how it pertains to the success of deadly force encounters. This is a high tempo, high intensity, high stress, and rhythmic firearms course that requires attention to detail, discipline, and high expectations.
