Urban Rifle Class
2026-05-29 17:30 - 20:30 | MN
This class is designed to challenge your speed and accuracy using an AR/MSR (Modern Sporting Rifle). It is NOT a beginner’s class. A basic understanding of the AR/MSR shooting platform is required to keep up in the class with safety being the highest priority. There will be some classroom instruction along with a variety of live fire drills on the range. Our goal is to increase your confidence while moving with the rifle in a dynamic range environment as well as transitioning between pistol/rifle, challenge your individual skill level, and improve overall rifle operation.
It is highly recommended that firearm owners read the owner’s manual for their firearm to learn the unique features and operation of their particular model. Upon registration, students need to state the firearm/caliber they will be bringing to class. All handgun and rifle optics MUST be sighted in before class.
Course fee: $95 plus tax.
