What You'll Learn

This class is the full, official USCCA AR-15 Fundamentals course taught in a single day that includes four (4) full hours of range time!

Enhancement: Since the 4th of July 2024 we include a full-auto AR-15 training element. It's fun and you'll pick on concepts a lot faster. Note: Take our full-auto AR-15 class for a full emersion into AR training.

You'll experience cognitive drills, emergency reloads, body alignment coaching as well as pick up tips for lefties: Solid fundamental techniques.

A pre-attached sling is required.

Pre-attached iron sights or optics are also required.

Zero your carbine/rifle BEFORE class.<<

Please come prepared with:

  • Rifle inside of a range bag, or case...unloaded.
  • Slings and optics already attached to your rifle.
  • Eye and ear protection (electronic required).
  • Range attire (close toed shoes, pants with pockets).
  • Light lunch or snacks for 4 hours at the range.
  • Label your magazines. They all look the same.
  • Pack any tools you might need to adjust your sights and/or secure your gear.
  • Shooting gloves, highly recommended

Dress for Montana weather and the hot brass that tends to drop down shirts.

Bring at least 300+ rounds of ammunition and minimum of three (3) magazines. Magazine pouches are handy, but not necessary.

The classroom portion starts in Three Forks then we finish at the range in Townsend (to the north). Address and coordinates emailed upon sign-up.

Let me know if you need to rent a rifle for the day ($55).

*The rental rifle is a pre-zeroed, Radical Firearms AR-15 in .223/5.56 with 16" barrel and a soft-shooting mid-length gas system. Comforts include the B5 adjustable stock with thick rubber buttpad, a full-length handguard and Magpul quick adjust sling and flip-up iron sights.

Cancellation Policy: Students are required to cancel at least 48 hours in advance of a class date in order to receive a full refund. Classes cancelled less than 48 hours before the class will not be refunded.

    "Jason is a fantastic instructor, informative, & while he was very patient with my newer shooter nerves, he did not hesitate to invite me to push further than I thought I could go. I gained so much confidence and came away with the fundamentals I really needed to continue to practice on my own & to be ready for additional advanced classes. THANK YOU, JASON !!!!!!"
