Combines Precision Rifle I and Precision Rifle II.
Rifles Only has invested tens of thousands of dollars over the last six months in range improvements.
We have added five new ranges for more UKD, Chaos type, run and gun, and alternate position shooting. This was done in advance of the 2012 Bushnell Brawl. These ranges continue to be used for our precision rifle classes. Also, the addition of our new dual mover system with remote control capability allow for faster training times. There is virtually no waiting for range time as several ranges can be safely utilized at the same time.
In light of these changes, the Precision Rifle 1&2 course will transition from a six day program to a five day program. There is no loss in training; in fact there is a gain due to these new capabilities at Rifles Only. We are very excited about these new capabilities and altered format for our signature course.
The 1&2 course will be offered multiple times during the Fall 2012 training season.
