Course Overview
THE WATER STAGE
Water shapes itself to whatever it meets. So do you.
A barricade can protect you and steady your rifle, or it can trap you and throw your shots. The difference is how you set up on it.
Using Barricades teaches you to work the right and left side, shoot through high and low ports, and use the barricade for support without crowding it.
This is class 06, the last class on the Rifle Level 1 roadmap. Every position, angle and turn from the level shows up here.
Training Focus
Primary Course Outcomes
