Tactical Rifle 2

Tactical Rifle 2 is an informational and hands-on class in the use of the modern semi-automatic rifle as a home defense weapon and extends the training provided in Indy Arms’ Basic Defensive Rifle and Tactical Rifle 1 courses.  Tactical Rifle 2 moves beyond accuracy and basic tactical skills to include shooting from cover, multiple target engagement, transitions, and tactical movement. The class is based on the most common self-defense rifles, of which the AR-15 platform is the overwhelmingly dominant example.  The Ruger Mini-14 (based on the Garand platform) and the AK family of rifles (commonly but incorrectly referred to as the AK-47) are also suitable for the class (if you are bringing a rifle other than an AR-15 platform, please inform Indy Arms when you register for the class).

Tactical Rifle 2 includes lecture, dry fire and live-fire sessions and can be shot with both iron sights and with optics if those are available.  This course will consist of about 1 hours of classroom material and practice, and about 3 hours of live-fire range time. The class is nominally four hours in length, but sometimes runs a bit longer, based on student questions.

Students will shoot 300 rounds of ammunition.

Course Goal
“To continue the structured development of the tactical skills required to comfortably and effectively use a semi-auto rifle for home/personal defense, and to provide the student with techniques and exercises to develop and refine these skills.”
