Overview

Barricade Bonanza is an intermediate-level rifle skills course designed to bridge the gap between static marksmanship and practical, real-world application. This fast-paced class focuses on developing the shooter’s ability to engage targets effectively from positions of cover, utilize non-standard shooting positions, and transition efficiently into and out of barricade positions while maintaining control, safety, and accuracy.

This course is conducted between 50 and 100 yards on a mix of static steel plates and knock-down steel targets, creating a dynamic training environment that rewards focus, consistency, and responsible weapon handling.

Experience Requirements

This is an intermediate level class. Rifle 103 is required prior to attending this course. The student must be able to demonstrate safe gun handling, weapon system familiarity, and foundational marksmanship skills. 

Students failing to meet and maintain our safety requirements and/or who cannot meet and immediately demonstrate the minimum skills required for the specific class may be removed from training. Please ensure you have read through the class description and fully understand our prerequisites before registering.
