Refine the results

Overview

Rifle 102: Rifle Mechanics is the second class in our foundational semi-automatic rifle training series. Once students have completed a quick warm-up, they will delve deeper into the basics. Students will work through a progression of drills; bolt-lock reloads, multiple target transitions, recoil management, ready positions, with the goal of building their rifle manipulation skill confidence. In this course, students will begin to track their performance and focus on the practice phase of SIG SAUER Academy’s training methodology of performance-based training. Rifle 102 will solidify the appropriate rifle fundamentals, preparing students for Rifle 103 and beyond.
