CONFIDENCE BUILDER (RIFLE)
This isn’t your grandfather’s rifle. Modern sporting rifles offer shooters a lighter, more serviceable and infinitely customizable weapon system ideal for any situation. Functionality, operation, manipulation and marksmanship will be the focus of our day. Open to all skill levels.
There’s a reason the MSR is nicknamed “America’s rifle”. And as soon as you start hammering rounds down range with a speed and precision unlike anything you’ve felt before, you’ll understand why. This course starts in the classroom, covering the MSRs unique components and functionality. Then we’ll hit the range where you’ll begin developing the skills necessary to unlock the performance engineered into this incredible firearm. Two expert instructors will be on hand at all times, providing group and individual training tailored to your skill level. Zeroing, marksmanship, manipulation, positional shooting drills and additional range exercises are covered.
