Designed to keep skills sharp, these Practices reinforce fundamentals and refine tactical skills in fast-paced, low-cost, two-hour sessions.

Prerequisite: Students must have a valid Massachusetts LTC (resident or non-resident). These classes are for students who have training in defensive/tactical rifle shooting. Those who have completed Defensive Rifle 1.0 are welcome to sign up. Others will be considered, as long as they have taken coursework similar to Defensive Rifle 1.0 elsewhere (from a recognized academy/instructor).

Note: These classes require mental focus, fine motor skills, and physical activity (periods of rapid movement and kneeling). Please be realistic about your abilities.
