Fortress is presenting our Level II Rifle Course, May 14/15, 2022, at the St Joseph County Conservation Club in Sturgis, Michigan.

Picking up where Level I left off, we’ll run you through lots of one-handed shooting drills, massive uses of cover and shooting positions, transitions to pistol, support side and one-handed shooting, shooting while injured, and a night shoot full of smoke, flares, and other unique tortures to be announced on scene. This is what Americans should be doing on a regular basis – Join us!

Course Prerequisite: All students must have attended a Fortress Level I Rifle Course to attend – NO EXCEPTIONS

500-rounds of rifle ammunition, and 100 rounds of pistol ammunition, are required.

(We understand the ammunition availability issues and have reduced our round count by 100 this year. But, no matter what, we still have to shoot to learn these skills. If you’re serious, you’ll be able to locate ammunition. We’d suggest a good place to start is Super Vel. They are producing training ammo in 9mm, 45ACP, and .223 – If you join their email list they will alert you when its available)

Ages 18, and up.

Cost is $395 per student.
