DESCRIPTION

Rifle Manipulations is an intense, fast paced and physically demanding course that will improve your existing rifle skills while challenging you to learn how to shoot strong side only, support side only and from unorthodox platforms. Utilizing both hands, you begin by learning how to quickly and efficiently transition from strong side to support side, transition from rifle to pistol, and clear typical rifle malfunctions.

You will then learn how, using only your strong side or support side, to transition, reload, clear malfunctions and achieve accurate hits. Multiple repetitions of the course drills will help you develop the motor skills and neuro-pathways necessary to master these new skills. You will complete this course with effective drills to use in your personal training regime that will keep you proficient with these new skills.
