Counter Active Shooter Rifle - Greenville, South Carolina

COUNTER ACTIVE SHOOTER RIFLE - LEVEL 2

There is no such thing as an adversary who will stand two dimensionally static and let you fire upon him. All adversaries in reality are moving with non-threats/unknowns in the foreground and background. 100% accuracy is the standard when in reality you are responsible for all rounds fired. This is a moving and shooting course. Moving targets are hard targets and life is movement. This course prepares you for that reality.
 
All GORUCK Firearms Courses and Events utilize scenario based training which is incorporated into dry practice prior to any live fire. All participants will practice target identification and discrimination, movement, weapons manipulation, and other dynamic drills with the cadre and others. These drills will be facilitated with inert weapons enabling a safe and realistic training environment. Both pistols and rifles will be rendered inert with barrel/chamber blocking plugs. Further, each student must fully participate in dry practice prior to commencing live fire.  

MINIMUM ENTRY FIREARM REQUIREMENTS

This course is not recommended for beginners.
Participants should already be proficient in the following skills:

• Shoot 70% on a 30 round course of fire from 25 meters  

PHYSICAL CAPABILITIES

In an effort to put participants in the right mindset we perform short duration physical stressors throughout the training day. All courses develop skill sets that would be utilized in a high stress, worst case scenario. This is simulated in training by elevating the heart rate through movements such as sprints, burpees, pushups and others exercises.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

• Firearms Training utilizes semiautomatic pistols and rifles, however, we offer custom classes on any and all small arms. Full-Frame pistols are recommended. Sub-Compact pistols are not recommended.
• SERPA-style holsters not authorized. Due to the nature of the training offered and the repetitive drawing and holstering of firearms, SERPA style holsters are not authorized for GORUCK Firearms training courses. If you do not have an alternative holster available, one may be provided with advanced notice.
• Keep firearms in vehicles. Please take care that when arriving at training sites, participants are not to remove from their vehicles or otherwise handle firearms until instructed to do so by the event cadre. In an effort to enforce good firearms safety and best practices, we would ask that firearms remain in vehicles until specifically told to bring them out.
• Shooters who display weapons proficiency will be challenged by the Cadre to increase their skill level by various methods. This will not have an impact on the overall conduct of the class.
