Introduction to the AR-15 - Level 2
Register Below
This course builds on the fundamentals of AR-15 handling and introduces students to more advanced skills that integrate both rifle and pistol work. Participants will learn how to perform safe and efficient rifle reloads, including both tactical and emergency techniques, and will practice transitioning smoothly from rifle to pistol in the event of a malfunction or empty weapon. Emphasis is placed on maintaining strict muzzle awareness and trigger discipline during multi-weapon handling, as well as engaging targets accurately while on the move. Students will also learn how to integrate their battle belt setup into live-fire drills to improve efficiency and effectiveness. By the end of this class, participants will have developed the confidence and ability to manage their equipment and firearms in a dynamic training environment.
