The Modern Sporting Rifle, Carbine, or any variant of Rifle in general has proven to be the most versatile self defense weapon in history.

Shooting drills covered include controlled pairs and handling recoil on multiple shots, transitioning to multiple targets, and engaging moving targets.
Upon completion of this course, students will have a sound knowledge of beginning defensive applications of a rifle, and the skills to use it in a self-defense situation.
