This is an NRA Certified rifle course that focuses on the AR (Armalite Rifle) 15.
ONLY 10 SEATS FOR THIS COURSE.
This course will be conducted in Temecula for the classroom session, then at Rainbow Shooting Range for the live fire training.
Objective:
This course introduces the AR15 semi-auto rifle to the student and expands on the NRA FIRST Steps Rifle Orientation Course. The student will complete the NRA course and will receive an NRA course completion certificate. This course will focus on the AR15 and cover in more detail other aspects of marksmanship such as ballistics, optics, and zeroing sights. The objective of this course is to instruct the student on their own rifle. However, if the student does not have his/her own rifle, then one will be provided including 20 rounds of ammo. This is not a complete rifle course as taught in the more comprehensive NRA Basic Rifle Shooting Course but will provide the student with all the information needed to safely handle and operate an AR15 as well as marksmanship skills needed to shoot the rifle accurately. The student is encouraged to enroll in the Basic Rifle Shooting Course if he/she wishes to expand their knowledge of rifle marksmanship and competition shooting.
DO NOT BRING FIREARMS OR AMMO TO THE CLASS!
Hearing and eye protection will be provided if you do not have any.

• What to bring.
If you are going to use your own rifle, bring it in a lockable rifle case, 20 rounds of ammo, eye and ear protection. It is highly recommended that the AR15 be configured with iron sights or back up sights (BUS). The gun can be configured with additional optics such as red dot or scope if the student chooses, but having a back up sighting system is important should the other optics fail. If you are borrowing one of our rifles, we will provide 20 rounds of ammo. Leave your rifle in your vehicle until we go to the range. We will be providing the training aids.
