Violence doesn’t announce itself.
It doesn’t wait for a flat range, perfect lighting, or clear lines of fire.
This course is built for the reality we’re seeing across the country — active threats, ambush-style violence, vehicle-based attacks, and chaotic environments where hesitation gets people hurt. The Tactical Rifle Operator Course is designed for responsible citizens and professionals who understand that when things go bad, you are your own first responder.
This is not a square-range marksmanship class.
This is real-world rifle fighting.
You’ll be trained in techniques and systems that cannot be effectively taught on traditional indoor or static ranges. Students are pushed to operate rifles under physical stress, cognitive load, and realistic movement — the same conditions that cause most shooters to fail when it actually matters.
You will leave this course with:
- Sharper rifle and pistol manipulation under pressure
- The ability to move, communicate, and fight with purpose
- A combat mindset rooted in decision-making, not just shooting
- Confidence built through earned reps, not theory
This is training for those who take responsibility seriously.
Course Curriculum Includes:
- Firearm Safety & Tactical Medical Brief
Because surviving the fight includes what happens after the shots stop. - Mechanical Offset & Holds Under Stress
Making accurate hits when distance, angles, and barriers matter. - Dynamic Rifle Footwork & Threat Engagement
Learning how to move with intent instead of becoming a stationary target. - Rifle to Pistol Transitions
Because rifles go down — and you need to stay in the fight. - Moving & Shooting
Shooting accurately while advancing, retreating, and angling off threats. - Multiple Threat Engagements
Prioritization, target discrimination, and efficient movement. - Cover vs. Concealment
Understanding what actually stops bullets — and what just hides you. - Bounding & Partner Movement Drills
Coordinated movement and communication under pressure. - Close-Quarter Rifle Engagements
Fighting inside compressed distances where mistakes are unforgiving. - Recon Rifle Trail Systems
Movement, scanning, and engagement considerations in non-urban environments. - Rifle Defense Around Vehicles
Using vehicles realistically — as cover, obstacles, and problem areas.
Required Equipment:
- Rifle / Carbine / Pistol Caliber Carbine
- Magazine-fed pistol (no revolvers)
- Minimum of 3 magazines per firearm
- Belt-mounted holster
- Single-point or two-point sling
- Eye & ear protection (electronic strongly recommended)
- Sturdy belt suitable for movement
- Weather-appropriate clothing and footwear for aggressive, athletic movement
Estimated Round Count:
- 300 rounds rifle (FMJ)
- 100 rounds pistol (FMJ)
- 50 rounds pistol – compressed copper frangible
This course is not for casual shooters.
It’s for those who understand that skill beats gear — and training beats hope.
If you want to be harder to kill and more capable under pressure,
this is where you start.
Train like it matters — because it does.
Prerequisite: This is not a beginner level class. The student needs to know and be able to demonstrate safe gun handling, weapon system familiarity, foundational marksmanship skills, and working from a holster. We strongly recommend completion of our Defensive Concealed Carry Class and Defensive Rifle prior to registering for this course. Your rifle/carbine needs to be zeroed in before arriving to this class.
