COURSE DESCRIPTION

AR-15 BASICS

This course is designed to build on the information presented in the Anatomy of the AR-15 course. We highly recommend completing the Anatomy of the AR-15 before beginning the AR-15 Basics course. The material in this course goes beyond the nomenclature and parts of the firearm as we introduce more advanced topics such as sights and optics, the fundamentals of shooting and zeroing an AR-15 rifle.
