Defensive Rifle Skill Intensive

Build Critical Defensive Rifle Skills — One Session at a Time

If your rifle failed mid-fight, would you fix it — or freeze?

Could you transition smoothly from rifle to pistol?
Hold a defensive position at night?
Move through a hallway, across open ground, or around cover with control?

If there’s hesitation in those answers, this course exists for you.

Defensive Rifle Skill Intensive is a modular training series built around one high-value defensive rifle skill per session. Each class runs approximately 4 hours and is designed to improve your ability to fight, adapt, and respond under pressure.

This is not a broad rifle overview.
It is deliberate, repeatable defensive rifle training.

Who This Training Is For

This course is ideal if you:
⊙ Own and safely operate a semi-automatic rifle
⊙ Are new to structured defensive rifle training or want to refine existing skills
⊙ Prefer focused sessions over all-day information overload
⊙ Want skills you can practice, retain, and apply immediately
⊙ Are building capability for home, property, or community defense

This course is not for:
⊙ First-time rifle shooters
⊙ Static bench-rest shooting
⊙ Competition-only rifle training
⊙ Anyone unwilling to train outdoors or move dynamically

This is defensive rifle training, not recreational marksmanship.

Course Format

The Defensive Rifle Skill Intensive is intentionally modular.

Each session:
⊙ Focuses on one primary defensive rifle skill
⊙ Runs approximately 4 hours
⊙ Includes dry work, live fire, and coached repetition
⊙ Emphasizes decision-making, efficiency, and accountability
⊙ Allows you to train on your schedule without skill dilution

Shorter sessions mean better reps, better retention, and safer progression.

You choose the skill — we train you to own it.

Example Skill Focus Areas

(Session-specific — one primary skill per class)

Examples include:
⊙ Rifle-to-handgun transitions and re-engagement
⊙ Malfunction identification and rapid clearing
⊙ Reloading under pressure
⊙ Defensive movement, angles, and cover usage
⊙ Rifle control in close-quarters and open terrain
⊙ Defensive posture, communication, and coordination
⊙ Distance management and positional shooting

Each Skill Intensive isolates the discipline, builds it correctly, and pressure-tests it under realistic conditions.

What You’ll Gain

By the end of each session, you will leave with:
⊙ A clear understanding of the skill and its defensive purpose
⊙ Structured drills you can continue at home or on the range
⊙ Increased confidence operating your rifle under stress
⊙ Instructor feedback to correct inefficiencies early
⊙ Measurable improvement — not just increased round count

This is skill ownership, not exposure.
