This course is designed for patrol and other law enforcement personnel who have access to a rifle while on duty. The course focuses on marksmanship skills and fundamentals with a patrol rifle equipped with or without optics. Although the basics will be taught it is encouraged for officers to have some working knowledge of the weapon system. Officers should have an agency issued or approved rifle they carry on duty and sights should be zeroed at a minimum of 50 yards before arriving for the class.
Day 1 will be classroom instruction at RAPSTC consisting of nomenclature, basic shooting positions, grip, stance, zero and basic weapons manipulation (loading/unloading/failure to fire) and function drills. Days 2 and 3 will be conducted at the Pickens County Sheriff's Office Firing Range.
