Ammunition types, ballistics and performance choices discussed in the context of mission.

No live ammunition in the classroom, “dummy rounds” provided.

Second half of the day will be on the range and will consist of live fire drills in the basic firing positions of standing, seated and prone. Zeroing the rifle will be worked through; why and at what distances.

Single rounds, multiple rounds, reduced target zones, and efficient gun handling will be demonstrated and practiced.

Equipment needed:

  • Eye and ear protection
  • Ball cap
  • Clothing appropriate for the weather and conditions.
  • Shooting mat, if desired.
  • Ar-15 style rifle or pistol.
  • Two rifle magazines
  • One or more magazine pouches worn on the belt.
  • 200 rounds of .223 or 5.56×45 ammunition.

NOTE: Make sure your rifle is made for 5.56, which will accept both .223 and 5.56. Do NOT use 5.56 ammo in a rifle chambered for .223 only.

NOTE: Know the value of your adjustments for both iron sights and, if applicable, your red dot sights. Usually expressed in “MOA per click,” can be found in owner’s manual for your sights, or online by make/manufacturer. Know in advance and all of our lives will be easier.

Limited number of rental rifles available and reserving one must be done in advance. This option is for prospective AR owners who have not yet decided on a make/model.
