Course Overview
THE EARTH STAGE
Earth is the ground everything else is built on. On the rifle, that ground is a gun that fits you and hits where you aim.
Most rifles leave the store with a loose optic, a sling still in the bag and a zero nobody has checked. Then the owner wonders why the rounds don't land where the dot is.
Rifle Set Up fixes that. In two hours you'll set up your sling, stock, grip and optic for your body, learn how the rifle works, and confirm a zero you can trust.
This is the first live class on the Rifle Level 0 roadmap. No experience needed. Bring the rifle you own, the way it is right now.
