Description
The Patrol Rifle course is designed for officers who have taken interest in the safe and proper procedures for deploying patrol rifles. Course design and safety issues are taught as well as principles of marksmanship, rifle nomenclature and operation. The course emphasizes teaching weapons manipulation and training personnel to fight with a rifle at what are traditionally considered handgun ranges and stand-off distances up to 150 yards. The course is based on the AR-15/M-4/M-16 weapons platform. However, other systems will be discussed.
