Battle Rifle Series - Day One
Battle Rifle Series - Day One
The Battle Rifle Series – Day One is the foundation of what we teach at the Lodestone Training and Consulting. The course provides an introduction to the 8 fundamentals of combat marksmanship, and provides the student with a series of foundation drills to reinforce these fundamentals and ensure the student’s success. These classes are paced to the student’s level of experience, so that no matter what skill level the student arrives with, the entire class succeeds.
The Battle Rifle Series of classes concentrates on the use of the Battle Rifle. The Day One course is targeted at students who are new to Battle Rifles, and are looking for a solid foundation to build on. This class offers the perfect opportunity for the student to become familiar with the safe manipulation and utilization of a Battle Rifle, and prepares them to use a Battle Rifle in the defense of themselves and their family.
The day consists of 1-2 hours of classroom instruction, followed by live-fire instruction.
There is a 30-60 minute lunch break included, with lunch being provided by LTAC.
