What you’ll build.
Rifle Foundations is the starting point for students who want practical, repeatable skill with a modern defensive rifle. The course establishes safe handling, ready positions, mounting the rifle, sight use, trigger control, recoil management, and a consistent zero-confirmation process. Students learn efficient loading, unloading, reloads, and basic malfunction correction without being rushed beyond their experience. Progressive drills build accuracy and confidence from close range to practical intermediate distances. Graduates leave with a solid practice framework and the foundation required for advanced rifle training.
