For shooters who already understand basic rifle operation and are ready to push into a higher level of speed, accuracy, accountability, and control. This course moves beyond static fundamentals and focuses on applying rifle skills under increased demand — refining recoil management, target transitions, positional shooting, shot accountability, movement, sling management, reloads, and performance-based decision making. The goal isn’t simply to shoot faster; it’s to shoot better on demand. Every drill is built around measurable performance, efficient gun handling, and delivering accurate hits under pressure.
