Course Description:
Intro To Rifles is a super fun day that starts at 9am at our Silverlake studio where you’re introduced to 3 different rifle-types: semi-auto, lever, and bolt-action. We’ll be training with Marline 336 RC, a Ruger Mini 14, a Savage Axis II Precision in .223, a Ruger 10-22, and a Ruger PC 9mm Backpacker.
In the morning You’ll learn how to operate, load & unload, hold, aim, and fire each one. Next, we take a dive into bullets, ballistics, and the art of acquiring targets and ranging targets using both glass optics and iron sights.
In the afternoon we jump in our cars and head over to Oak Tree Gun Club in Newhall, CA and put it all into practice. We fire a total of 65 rounds from all the various rifles listed at distances up to 140 yards.
Value Add: The Ruger PC 9mm Backpacker is an outstanding home defense weapon. It is small and has the weight and feel of a BB gun in your hands. It fires a 9mm pistol bullet from a standard Glock pistol magazine so it has virtually no perceived recoil. We love it for two reasons: First, it has a long history of successful police use (in its previous 1980’s wooden stock edition), and second, it is one of the few legal 9mm carbines available in California NOT classified as an “assault rifle.” You will be receiving elements of our Carbine for Home Defense training as part of this rifle class.
This is a really interesting and fun day. Come join us!
