DESCRIPTION :

Freedom Defense Training, LLC’s Special Purpose Rifle course takes the advantages of modern fighting rifles and pushes the envelope on their capability. Shooters will be introduced to subjects such as basic external ballistics, wind reading, unknown distance ranging, and heavily versed in alternate shooting positions.​ Students will engage targets while both stationary and on the move utilizing known gun data to rapidly and effectively engage targets at known and unknown distances.​ Shooters will be challenged, but obtain the knowledge to engage multiple targets from varying positions and at distances out to 500 yards while still performing basic tasks well. We will start Friday evening in the Armed Texans Classroom to cover theory and pass the information needed to be successful during the following days exercises. Range day, we will move quickly through subjects, but we will hit them all from a practical and applicable point of view so that you take the most back with you to perfect as you train further in these new skills.
