Course Overview
What This Course Builds
Rifle Level 0 is the foundation. It's built for the shooter who's new to the rifle — and the owner who's never been trained to run one correctly — and it doesn't assume anything you haven't earned. We start at zero on purpose: safe weapons handling, rifle nomenclature, and the manipulations you'll repeat for the rest of your training. Before speed, before movement, before anything that looks impressive, you learn to operate the rifle safely and deliberately, every single time.
From there we build the marksmanship fundamentals everything else depends on: a stable position, sight alignment and sight picture, breathing, and trigger control — a clean, repeatable process for putting rounds where you intend them. You'll leave Level 0 able to load, make ready, fire, clear common malfunctions, and unload your rifle under instruction, with a standard you can measure yourself against from here forward. This isn't a one-and-done range day. It's the first block of a path.
Training Focus
Primary Course Outcomes
Safe Weapons Handling
Master the rules that govern every rifle, every time. Muzzle, trigger, and target awareness become automatic — handling the weapon with intention instead of hoping nothing goes wrong. Know your target and consider its foreground and background.
Foundational Marksmanship
Build a stable, repeatable shooting position and apply the fundamentals — sight alignment, sight picture, breathing, and trigger control — that determine where every round actually goes.
Platform Familiarity
Load, make ready, fire, clear common malfunctions, and unload on command. Walk away with the manipulations that let you focus on shooting instead of fumbling with the rifle.
Class Time
Alpha and Bravo Blocks
Alpha Block
Alpha Block Time
Safety, Setup & Fundamentals
Classroom and dry-practice block. We cover the safety rules, rifle nomenclature, sight and optic setup, and the core manipulations — loading, making ready, malfunction clearance, and unloading — until they're deliberate and correct.
Qualification Required
None. Level 0 is the entry point — you only need to be legally able to possess and handle a rifle. Bring the willingness to start at the standard.
BRAVO Block
BRAVO Block Time
Marksmanship & Accuracy
You'll confirm a working zero and apply the fundamentals live — building a stable position, breaking clean shots, and managing the rifle through repeated strings of fire under direct coaching.
Qualification Required
Completion of the Alpha Block and the on-site safety brief. All live fire is conducted under direct instructor supervision.
