Overview
Once students have completed a quick warm-up, they will delve deeper into the basics, covering all the science and best practices behind the zeroing process. Students will work through a progression of drills; bolt-lock reloads, multiple target transitions, malfunction clearance, as well as alternative shooting positions with the goal of building their rifle manipulation skill confidence. In Rifle 102, students will begin to track their performance and focus on the practice phase of SIG SAUER Academy’s training methodology of performance-based training. Rifle 102 will solidify the appropriate rifle fundamentals preparing the student for Rifle 103.
