This class, also known as HDR1, is an 8 hour class that is at the beginner level. Instruction will be given on using the carbine, modern sporting rifle or AR-15 specifically for home defense.
The student will be taught proper function of the rifle, sights/optics, slings and accessories that are applicable to home defense, shooting positions, basic rifle marksmanship and will culminate with successfully zeroing your rifle and shooting at various distances.
Successfully completing HDR1 is a requirement to attend Home Defense Rifle 2.
HDR2 will consist of Close Quarter Marksmanship (CQM) and defensive use of the rifle. You will need your sights and optics (if equipped) to be zeroed properly.
