2-Hour Rifle & Pistol Skill-Progression Clinic — Indoor Range

A focused 2-hour clinic at an indoor range that begins with a very brief safety/condition check (10–15 min) and immediately moves into a structured skill-progression combining rifle and pistol work: dry-fire fundamentals, baseline live-fire to establish a starting point, then progressive drills (slow fire → controlled pairs → timed strings → target transitions) tailored to each platform. The emphasis is coached repetitions, immediate corrective feedback, and measurable improvement in grip/stance, sight alignment, trigger control, recoil/rapid follow-up, and transitions between targets and between firearms. The session finishes with a short performance drill and a concise individualized practice plan.

Typical 2-Hour Agenda (indoor range friendly)

• 00:00–00:10 — Quick check-in and condensed safety/condition procedures (mandatory)
• 00:10–00:25 — Dry-fire fundamentals for pistol and rifle (grip, stance, sights, trigger press)
• 00:25–00:35 — Dry-fire practice with instructor coaching (immediate corrections)
• 00:35–00:50 — Live-fire baseline: slow, accurate shots (pistol then rifle or vice versa)
• 00:50–01:30 — Progressive live-fire drills (controlled pairs, timed strings, target transitions; alternate platforms to practice transfer skills)
• 01:30–01:45 — Performance drill / mini-qualification to show improvement
• 01:45–02:00 — Debrief, individualized tips, and take-home practice plan

Learning Objectives

• Rapidly perform concise Safety/Condition Checks and follow range commands.
• Translate dry-fire fundamentals into live-fire accuracy for both pistol and rifle.
• Improve recoil management and rapid follow-up shots (speed with acceptable accuracy).
• Execute basic target transitions and platform switching under time/pressure.
• Leave with a clear, prioritized practice plan to continue improvement.

What to bring / instructor provides
Student brings: government ID, eye & hearing protection, appropriate clothing, familiar pistol and/or rifle (or use range rentals), 75–150 rounds per platform depending on drills, and extra magazines/bolts as applicable.
Instructor provides: targets, coaching, basic range gear, and a short handout with drills and shot counts.

Safety note: Safety is enforced at all times; the safety briefing is brief but non-negotiable and any unsafe behavior will result in immediate removal.
