RIFLE COURSES

Target Down Group’s rifle program builds shooters into confident, adaptable riflemen prepared for defense and real-world application. Students learn the application of rifle setup, accuracy, and handling under pressure. Key skills include rapid ready-up drills, multiple target engagement, movement and varied shooting positions. Training also focuses on using cover and concealment effectively while engaging targets under time, ensuring students leave with practical defensive proficiency they can apply in home-defense or threat-response scenarios.

The training escalates with Tactical Rifle, a course designed to push rifle handling into dynamic and complex environments. Shooters progress through movement-based live fire, close-quarters retention work, and tactics. Scenario-based exercises including room clearing, vehicle cover drills, and active threat engagements while adding realism and pressure. Both day and night course formats are available, with night training incorporating white-light integration, target identification, and low-light drills. Together, these rifle courses give participants the skills, confidence, and tactical mindset to perform when it matters most.

RIFLE FOUNDATIONS
4 October 2025: 10am - 3pm

Rifle Foundations is a focused, 5-hour course designed to build safe, repeatable rifle handling and solid accuracy under realistic conditions. Through a mix of structured dry-fire, live-fire, and performance standards, students will master core mechanics—stance, grip, sight picture, trigger control, reloads, and malfunction clearing—so they leave with reliable fundamentals they can reproduce under stress. This course is ideal for new rifleowners, patrol-level shooters refreshing basics, and experienced shooters who want to eliminate bad habits and tighten fundamentals.

TRAINING HIGHLIGHTS

Practical, scenario-driven reload work and immediate-action drills — including administrative and tactical reloads — plus reliable malfunction clearance methods practiced under time and stress to minimize downtime during critical moments.

Objective Performance Standards
Measurable course-of-fire evaluations and standards-based testing that quantify progress, validate proficiency, and create a clear roadmap for continued training and improvement.
