The Orange County NRA Basic Rifle course emphasizes the attitude, knowledge and skills necessary to safely handle a rifle and the basic shooting fundamentals of rifle shooting. This is a very intensive course that will greatly improve your shooting skills whether you are a beginner or intermediate shooter. The course emphasizes safety and the basic fundamentals of shooting including positions, grip, aiming, sight picture control, trigger squeeze and follow through. Students will learn how to identify different types of rifles and how each type functions. A supervised and coached live fire exercise ensures students properly grasp all learning objectives. Ammunition and low recoil rifles are provided. Students will see a significant improvement between the first and last shot. A certificate will be awarded upon successful completion of the live-fire section and a written examination.

*SFFA uses LOW-RECOIL firearms for training the fundamentals. It has been our experience that large caliber firearms make it near impossible for instructors to properly coach the live-fire exercises. The live-fire exercises are intended to inform students of their use of good technique AND deficiencies that will require more practice. The techniques we teach you are easily transferred to larger caliber firearms.

Another Great class! Well worth the time January 3, 2012
Reviewer: Blaine from Orange County, CA  
The rifle course taught by Richard was in-depth and well delivered. Richard knows his stuff…. He provides professional materials in his classes. This was my second (Hunter Safety was the first) class I have taken with Richard. Richard’s techniques of the rifle shooting show the deep knowledge Richard has. He has the patience for all members of the class. Richard oversees each and every person for precision learning.

At the shooting range his knowledge and teaching continues. He watches and teaches each person. Richard watches the little things. He guides you through the shooting techniques giving you insightful knowledge as you are shooting. His goals show. He wants to make you safe and skillful. Even a seasoned shooter can learn from Richard.

Don’t miss this class…

Great class to learn the fundamentals December 20, 2011
Reviewer: John Learned from Silverado, CA United States  
I've grown up with firearms and have a collectors firearms license but have never received any formal training on the basics.  This class gave me a foundation my shooting was substantially lacking.  I learned a ton of information and discovered a shooting position that I've never tried and am most accurate in.  Well worth the time and money. Plus, you get the opportunity to go shooting outdoors in Orange County. Where else can you find that but here?

NRA Basic Rifle December 19, 2011
Reviewer: Anonymous Person from Orange County  
you should be charging more for this class! 2 years ago I paid $60 an hour for a two-hour private lesson with [unnamed] and it did not help much. this is the class I needed back then. I am surprised you are not charging more for this full-day course. and the coaching is much better in this course than I got in the two-hour private lesson with [unnamed]. if you are looking to take a basic rifle class, do yourselves a favor and take the sffa course so you don't waste money like I did. It's a no-brainer!

Once more, Great JOB!! November 28, 2011
Reviewer: David Lazenby from Fountain Valley, CA United States  
Took this class today, it was a great day. Richard gave a TON of information in a fun and spirited way that make things easy to remember. Test at the end was not a problem... listen, take a few notes, highlight a few things he says and you will do just fine...

Richard, thanks for a great day. Hope to see you soon for another great class. Looking forward to the Shotgun class and maybe a range day soon. Once I can afford a handgun I'll sign up for that class too.
