5-Hour Urban Long Gun Advanced Class
Note!

Because this class will utilize steel targets, center fire rifle ammunition is prohibited. Students can bring a shotgun (with both buck and bird shot) pistol caliber carbines, or .22 LR rifles. All of these types of firearms, including AR-15 pattern .22 LR Rifles, are available for rent at the pro shop.

This class will focus on the short-range marksmanship problems associated with using a long gun (shotgun or rifle) in an urban environment. Students will learn techniques for using the long gun effectively indoors, in outdoor close confined spaces, and in and around automobiles.

Students will also learn how and when to transition from their long gun to a holstered pistol.

This class is geared towards the use of any long gun. A semi-auto rifle, bolt action rifle, lever action rifle, or shotgun will all be fine. The goal of the class is to give the student portable skills that can be applied to whatever tool they have on hand.
