Training - Rifleman Level 1 (Individual Fundamentals)

These drills are designed for static firing on a range line, focusing on fundamental rifle skills to build confidence and proficiency. They assume riflemen have basic familiarity with their weapon (e.g., safety, loading) but need to master manipulations under stress.

All rounds fired should be to center A zone (unless otherwise indicated) to count for scoring of a pass/fail. All drills run from 15 yards.

• Controlled Pairs: Fire two rounds to a single target. Repeat two times.
