Owning an AR-15 is about more than just purchasing a rifle—it’s about understanding how it works, how to handle it safely, and how to maintain it properly. This class is designed specifically for new AR-15 owners who want clear, practical instruction in a supportive learning environment.
Whether you recently purchased your first AR-15 or have owned one for a while but never received formal instruction, this course helps eliminate confusion and build confidence through hands-on education.
Why Take This Class?
Many new owners feel overwhelmed by parts, terminology, and setup. This class breaks everything down in a straightforward, easy-to-understand way, ensuring you leave knowing:

How to safely handle and manipulate your rifle
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
How to keep your magazines and rifle functioning reliably

Understanding the cycle of operation, parts nomenclature, and proper maintenance helps prevent malfunctions, improves accuracy, and promotes safe ownership.

What the Class Covers:

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)

Who This Class Is For:

First-time AR-15 owners
New shooters wanting structured instruction
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.
