** THIS CLASS HAS MOVED FROM RICHMOND ROD AND GUN CLUB in Richmond to UNITED SPORTSMAN’S ASSOCIATION in Concord **
Defensive Rifle I is for those already familiar with their rifle, and building upon everything they learned in a Basic Rifle class. This class is designed to get you up to speed with the proper and safe use of a sling, reloading, clearing malfunctions, introduction to rifle-handgun transition, and self-defense mindset and concepts while prepping you for real world scenarios.
Over the course of eight hours, our friendly instructors will combine classroom and range time to establish good habits and proper fundamentals through topics such as:
*Rifle purpose, selection, consideration for method of carry and materials available.
*Proper procedure for loading and unloading, slinged carrying and use, storage, and transportation of a firearm/ammunition.
*Reloading drills and Malfunction drills, to include alternative reload and malfunction clearance and loading procedures.
*An introduction to cover and concealment, and the use thereof
*Moving and shooting
*Self Defense Concepts
*Multiple drills under time and distance and other artificial stressors
*Safety as an engrained mindset
