US Military Rifle Shoot
This course is a interactive review of examples of the standard issue military rifles from the past 200 years! You will learn about the development, manufacture, implementation and operation of original US military rifles spanning from 1816 to 2016 but most of all you will get fire them! If you ever seen a firearm or maybe a car in a museum or on display and your anything like me; your probably thinking it's interesting to see, but the real enjoyment comes from getting to use it! These firearms are a working, interactive museum!

Student Feedback:
"To start, thanks for giving me the opportunity to take part in this event. I had an awesome time learning about rifles from the past that I never really knew existed. You gave a really nice description of each firearm that was not drawn out, it was just enough information that kept me interested and not allowing me to lose focus. Everyone that I spoke to after this asked me which one was my favorite. To be honest, I cant really choose one or the other, each one had something in particular that I liked. It gave a real understanding of of how back in the day they used what they had to make a firearm fully functional for soldiers to use. It also gave me some insight to owning something like the ones we had fired that I never even really given any thought about. I would love to do this again in the future, Thanks again!!" Chris H
"What better way to spend a day honoring our nations freedom that with the actual tools that were used to defend that freedom again and again. The history and evolution of these firearms was great. The progression of design to meet the needs of the era was a really interesting to see and experience for myself. I like all of them but the 1903 I think was my favorite one. The targets were fun, range was great, good call on the bug spray. This was really fun, you guys to a great job. I know you guys have limited space in these events but when I'm eligible I am ready to do this again! - Robert H
