Tactical Rifle Combatives


Focus:  All sworn or commissioned officers of any rank.  Active or Reserve military personnel.

Pre-requisite:  Agency certification of basic rifle skills.

If you know you are going into a gunfight, you want to take a rifle...
...and a handgun with extra ammo for each.  And, if you can, similarly armed friends who are dressed like you and willing to press a trigger.

Length:  16-hours

  Rifles are for fighting, and our courses teach you to fight and win with the tools of your trade.  The officer on the street today is in need of the ability to reach out to rifle ranges of up to 100 yards to accurately stop a Threat--that's why he or she is provided a rifle.  However, it is more likely that the officer will respond to an imminent threat at distances more commonly associated with handgun fights where the threat will be faster, closer, and exponentially more intense.  This course provides the rifle-armed officer with the skills and tactics to effectively and reasonably respond to a deadly threat at every range, from contact to extended ranges. 

Like all CUTTING EDGE TRAINING skills training courses, this seminar takes a practical and honest look at the needs of officers when employing a rifle.  Our Tactical Rifle Combatives course provides expert instruction in the laws and articulation of deadly force per the Constitution and your state law, movement and hitting, and hitting at distance utilizing cover, sudden combatives with the rifle, retention of the rifle, rapidly evolving multiple targets, suspects at the barricade, as well as transitioning to the handgun and malfunction drills, and much more.

Sudden assault response is key to effectively and reasonably responding with the rifle.  In addition to live-fire drills with your live-fire weapon, we provide reactive drills with Systema Professional Training Weapon System "Airsoft" rifles.  These are drills where law enforcement (and any armed professional carrying a rifle into harm's way) requires reactive hitting skills but the live-fire environment prevents these skills from being practiced due to safety concerns.  The intrinsic safety of the Systema Airsoft rifles provide perfect practice in a perfectly safe manner.  This Airsoft training system permits our participants to fire "live" without the risks of "live-fire" drills where the skills for the real-world are needed, but the threat to life on the firing range is too great.  We safely employ these realistic rifles in reaction drills that amp up your ability to react and respond to the threats you face today. 

This course remains the only program of its kind that was “reverse-engineered” to achieve survival goals.  We studied how police officers are murdered and assaulted in the real-world.  Then we put that knowledge together with how the human being inside the uniform actually reacts in that pressure-filled, life and death environment, and created a training system that is sweeping the law enforcement community’s understanding of how to put bullets on-target in-time in order to survive.  There are no "game philosophies" designed to speed up the shooter's firing rate at the expense of life-saving tactics and hit accuracy.  There are no "game philosophies" designed to speed up the shooter's firing rate at the expense of life-saving tactics.  The emphasis is solely on real-world gunfights:  recognizing the Threat early enough to make a difference, reacting tactically to avoid being hit while hitting a suspect sufficiently well enough to significantly affect his or her ability to harm you or others, how to avoid "blue-on-blue," or "friendly fire" injuries.  Finally, this course also emphasizes your very real need to defend your actions in the inevitable post-shooting aftermath.

This course avoids dogma and “do-it-my-way-because-I'm-the-expert” arguments.  Instead, we concentrate on the areas where officers have a real need for training to survive: Up close, sudden responses to deadly attacks utilizing realistic methods that every officer can use.  This is the future of police rifle training--training officers to fight in their real-world against real-world threats.  Your officers can experience it today.

The Real-World Rifle Combatives seminar is not a "sniper's" class.  It is not a basic course in "how-to-shoot" the rifle.  It is, however, a basic-to-advanced course in fighting with the rifle at common distances where sudden deadly assault occur.  Instead, this course provides the novice or veteran rifle shooter with the real-world skills to be deadly accurate and tactically sound in the most common situations where the employment of a rifle is demanded.
