Tactical Rifle 1

“Personal weapons are what raised mankind out of the mud, and the rifle is the queen of personal weapons.”

–Col. Jeff Cooper

It’s been said that the United States was built with the axe, the plow, and the rifle. As a hunting implement, the rifle provided early Americans with food, and as a defensive tool, it offered safety. In the wake of the Revolution, the frontier rifle became an icon of American resistance to tyranny and struggle for freedom. Rifles have continued to play a prominent role in American culture and history from early days to the present.

The inherent advantages of rifles as a defensive tool are apparent. Rifles offer greater ammunition capacity, more powerful cartridges, and the potential for greater precision at all distances than handguns or shotguns. Modern rifles are reliable, easy to maintain, and can be used to good effect with proper training and practice.

Tactical Rifle 1 is a beginner level rifle/carbine class that introduces shooters to concepts of safety, marksmanship, and manipulation in the tactical deployment of modern rifles. We emphasize the importance of combat mindset and and sound decision-making as the foundation for the “tactical application” of the rifle platform.
