This intermediate course is designed for the shooter who wishes to develop the skills to engage small targets with a high degree of probability for first round hits. This includes sportsman as well as hunters. We will discuss equipment selection, the fundamentals for precision rifle marksmanship, supported field positions, ballistics, and ammunition considerations. Shooting will primarily be done at 100 and 200 yards. This course is designed for a rifle with a telescopic sighting device, preferable of at least 7 power magnification. During this class, we will be walking to the target and back. Please wear comfortable boots for such activity.
The four-hour class goes beyond static shooting. Once the student has demonstrated sound fundamentals, the movement begins. This class will teach movement on the draw, movement during reloads, movement before and after the shooting process, and shooting while moving.
This intermediate course is presented as a means of distilling the f process of the handgun presentation and the shot process employment in a rapidly unfolding, and demanding set of circumstances. The course will utilize the Steel Challenge competition course to refine the draw stroke, trigger press, sight acquisition, slide lock reloads, strong hand and weak hand shooting, and movement to cover. This course will not focus on tactics so much as faster shooting with acceptable accuracy for the situation. Enrollment for this class is limited to students who have had some basic training and can safely draw to a target and reliably hit an 8 inch circle at 15 yards.
This class will focus on the foundational skills used to clear rooms, buildings, and other structures. The techniques taught in this class are all well vetted and currently in use in a variety of venues by armed professionals.

The techniques taught in this class can be applied to home defense, active shooter, executive protection, and any other endeavor where one might be called upon to either find a threat, or ensure an area is safe. We will focus on both single person as well as team tactics. For students looking to improve their shooting skills, we recommend the basic and advanced handgun or rifle classes.
