This 1-day course lays the foundation that all future rifle training will rest on. Safety, range etiquette, weapon operation, accessories, fundamentals of fire, shooting/ready positions, rapid target acquisition, target transitions, clearing of stoppages, rapid fire, and fighter mindset are the main subjects tackled in this essential course.

I’ve taken two classes now with Joe, CCL and rifle 1, and both have been super valuable. Joe is a great teacher with a lot of real world knowledge. I really like how the content and skills you learn with him are actually applicable to real life situations. I would recommend Joe to anybody, people who are just starting out and those with a lot of experience. I’ll definitely be coming back .

When you launch their website, We the People Firearms Academy states that they are “Illinois’ best firearms training”. After taking the Rifle 1 course with them, I have no doubts about this statement. Joe and Jeff were fantastic instructors. The content was very engaging, and challenged me without ever losing its fun factor. Clearly a result of the passion Joe and Jeff have for teaching and developing students. This was the best training course I’ve ever taken, and I will 100% be back to do more training here in the future.
