SSD 144: Basic Rifle and Pistol

Class Program
Credits 1

This course is intended to help students develop their competition-style rifle and pistol abilities. It consists of eight weeks of instruction during the academic semester.

The course provides a platform for students who already have some familiarity with firearms to further develop their fundamental shooting skills and process. Subjects covered include indoor, Olympic-style air rifle and air pistol, outdoor small bore rifle and pistol, and larger caliber rifle and pistol. This course does not directly cover tactical-style competition or defensive shooting, though questions about these topics and discussion of how precision shooting relates to and complements these areas is welcomed and encouraged, provided it does not detract from the lesson. While this course focuses on the basics, it is meant to be fun and educational regardless of experience level.
