Tactical Immersion will be conducting a Combat Rifle Immersion course at Cedar Ridge range North of San Antonio area on the 24-25th of March. This is a 2 day (16 hour) long basic to intermediate level course that covers several topics involving the use of a rifle/carbine in combat conditions. This is not a rules, laws or use of force orientated training course. This course is focused on developing all of the employment skills needed to use a rifle/carbine effectively in combat. Students will be given a basic skills test prior to training, and given final skills test upon completion of the course.
