Fortress is presenting our Level II Rifle Course w/night shoot, October 7/8, 2023, 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 participate – NO EXCEPTIONS
500-rounds of rifle ammunition, and 100 rounds of pistol ammunition, are required.
(If you’re in need of ammo, we 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.
