Rifle 3 Advanced

Rifle 3: Advanced Defensive Rifle

Advance with purpose. Adapt under pressure.

Rifle 3 is the final level of our defensive rifle series, reserved for those who have completed Rifle 1 and 2, and who are ready to integrate both rifle and pistol into high-level application. This 8-hour course pushes your understanding of weapon transitions, movement under pressure, and positional engagement—bringing everything you've learned into a more reactive, demanding environment.

You’ll run both weapon systems, make decisions on the move, and push yourself to meet the physical and cognitive demands of real-world application. If you’ve been coasting on gear or shortcuts, this course will expose it. If you’ve been doing the work, this is where it pays off.
