Course Overview
THE WIND STAGE
Wind does not hit the wall. It finds the edge and goes around it.
Everything between you and a threat is a screen. Some screens stop bullets, some only stop eyes, and how you work them decides how much of you is exposed when the rifle comes up.
Proper Use of Screens teaches you what a screen is, how to work a corner a slice at a time, and how to limit your exposure with the up, seen, down rhythm.
This is class 02 of 9 on the Rifle Level 2 roadmap. It builds directly on the movement you learned in Shooting and Moving.
