BLUF:

This course focuses on the all-weather, day-or-night employment of the epitome of the citizen’s individual weaponry, the rifle. Pistols will be used in the role they are most ideally suited for; as a backup, a fallback for when things have gone extraordinarily sideways. Guided discussions on gear selection and tactics; range work and drills to build skills, all in varied lighting conditions.
