How each component works and why it matters
How to properly zero your rifle for accuracy
How to disassemble, clean, and maintain your AR-15

Safe handling and manipulation of the AR-15
8-step cycle of operation
Correct parts identification and function
Disassembly and reassembly
Fundamentals for accuracy using iron sights
Zeroing your rifle (50/200 yard zero)

Owners who want to understand their rifle beyond the basics
Anyone seeking confidence through education and safety

This class is instruction-focused, not rushed, and designed to ensure students understand the why behind what they’re doing—not just the steps.
