RIFLE & CARBINE
What You Need To Know
When you want to master your rifle or carbine skills, look no further than Ragnar Tactical, the leader for firearms training and marksmanship courses in the Denver area. In our urban rifle class, you’ll learn manipulation drills and close-quarters battle shooting (within 100 yards). In our precision rifle class, you’ll explore long-distance shooting out to 400 to 500 yards. Our Denver long-range shooting school instructors allow you to improve your shooting abilities in a safe and fun atmosphere.
Our urban rifle marksmanship courses in Denver focus on carbines as self-defense tools, and many people attend with an AR15 or occasionally an AK variant. Shooting is all within 100 yards, mostly within 20 yards. This class will train you in both handling a weapon and marksmanship, including skills like reloading, clearing malfunctioning, positional shooting, multiple target shooting, transitioning to handguns, shooting on the move, shooting from cover, and more.
The Level 1 Carbine class is for both beginner and intermediate shooters, while the Level 2 class is geared toward intermediate and advanced shooters. The precision rifle class is for long-range shooting. Our precision rifle course is perfect for hunters preparing for the season. Our instructors cover range estimation, positional shooting, gauging wind, shooting with optics, and more. Please note that students must have their rifles zeroed prior to attending our Denver long-range rifle shooting classes.
Beginners Welcome
