Two Day

The AR-15, Colt Sporter, Mini 14, MI's SKS, FN/FAL, Marlin/Winchester/Henry lever guns and other similar rifles make excellent short-range defensive firearms. This is why the Certified Instructors from Oregon Firearms Academy have taken their professional training & law enforcement experience and put together a defensive rifle course specially designed for the AR15, its variants, and other similar semiautomatic rifles. The intent of this course is to learn how to use a rifle in close range, high speed defensive situations.

      • How to correctly "sight-in" your rifle - we will sight in all rifles
      • The various methods of carry/sling positions

      • Shooting and operating from grounded positions
      • Learning how to operate the carbine/rifle single handed in the event of a immobilize or injured limb (arm or hand)
      • How to assume various shooting positions using cover & concealment
      • How to transition to a handgun gun if your carbine/rifle become inoperable
      • Using a carbine/rifle within confided spaces such as a home or building including operating a carbine/rifle in a tactical simulator
    Equipment Necessary:
        • Semiautomatic, magazine fed, iron sighted carbine/rifle or lever action type carbine/rifle with a sling (low power or "red dot" optics are acceptable) - Call if you're concerned about your rifle or you want to use something else! We can work it out!
        • 1200 rounds of SAMMI/NATO spec factory ammunition
          (no steel case ammo unless using it in a carbine designed for it such as a SKS or AK)
