Urban Defender Rifle Course
Due to an overwhelming request, we are conducting a Dynamic Two-Day Rifle Fighting Course. This training will be held at our private range. This class is limited to a total of 12 students.
Traditionally this course is only open to Law Enforcement professionals; however Signal 88 Special Operations Services understands the need for Americans to be able to learn the proper protection and self preservation skills for their families' safety and security.
Our "Urban Defender” course is designed to familiarize rifle end-users with close range urban rifle fighting methods for defensive purposes. Emphasis will be placed on how to tactically manipulate the weapon and engage threats that were traditionally thought to be at handgun fighting distances. In a gunfight the rifle is “better-than” an equalizer … it is a Force Multiplier!
This basic course will be conducted at ranges of 50-yards and extreme close quarter fighting distances.
Tuition -$375.00 *** (If you cancel for any reason we will re-schedule you for another class to the best of our ability. If you choose not to reschedule, we will refund 50% of the price of course) ***
We will meet at Signal 88 Security Office (3880 S. 149th St) at 0800 on the first day of this course.
