Defensive Rifle I

Picture
It has been said, "If you are going to choose the weapon to bring to a gunfight, bring a rifle, bring all your friends with rifles."  We train to proficiency with pistols because they are concealable and what we are most likely to have on us when the fight is brought.   However, rifles END FIGHTS.  This 10 hour, one day class will teach you how to use your rifle to maximum effect.
