This is our signature offering, based on traditional American riflecraft that teaches "Hits Count!" It is appropriate for a wide breadth of student skill levels. This course lays a sound foundation for students to shoot 4 MOA groups under time pressure from a variety of practical field positions. At this range, shooting will be at 25 yards, so a rimfire rifle is just fine.
