This is the first step in the Vance Outdoors Rifle Series. This series is designed to help you become more proficient with a rifle.
Basic Rifle teaches you the foundational skills on how to use a rifle at close distances similar to what one might find inside their home. Shooting a rifle closer than 50 feet has different considerations than shooting past 50 feet. Vance Outdoors Instructors will cover topics like how to set up your rifle, support equipment choices such as slings or optics, reloading, clearing a weapon stoppage.
Although this class is taught by NRA and OPOTA Certified firearm Instructors, it is not an NRA Certified class. Upon completion of the class, you will receive a Vance Outdoors Certificate of Completion, signed by your instructors.
For this class you will need a reliable rifle, a minimum of 3 magazines, spare ammunition carrier, sturdy belt, a rifle sling, eye and ear protection and 200 rounds of ammunition.
AR pistols are allowed in class but must have a third point of contact such as a blade or brace and must comply with all current ATF regulations. It is recommended that if you plan an AR pistol you also bring an AR rifle, as Vance Outdoors reserves the right to not allow AR pistols on the range at any time.
You will be expected to come to class with a securely mounted sighting system, whether that is iron sights, red dot, or scope. You will need to have your sighting system zeroed to be on paper at 25 yards. We will offer aa zero clinic the week prior at no cost to anyone enrolled in the class.
There will be no full auto shooting allowed. Any/all Class III items must be accompanied by all appropriate ATF paperwork.
