Location would be Powder Springs GA, course would run from 8am until approximately 5pm.

Depending upon the level of interest, cost would be $250-$300.

Here's the course description and info:
This course is designed for the shooter that is a novice to the AR platform; no previous skill or experience is necessary. It is also an excellent refresher for those that haven't delved into the AR platform in a while.

Topics covered will include, but are not limited to:
-Nomenclature and functioning, to include aftermarket accessories, upgrades, magazines, ammo, etc.
-What specs make up a good AR
-Cleaning, care and maintenance
-Range safety and safe handling
-Fundamentals of marksmanship
-Loading & unloading
-Zeroing with both iron sights (fixed or backups) and optics
-Shooting from various ready positions
-Use of strong- and support-side cover
-3 reloads (Emergency, Tactical, and Magazine Exchange)
-Clearing Simple and Remedial Malfunctions
-Shooting while moving

Gear list:
AR rifle or carbine, any centerfire caliber
500 rounds of ammunition
Minimum 6 magazines
Pouch or other method to carry at least 1 magazine on your person for an immediate reload
Sling
Eye and ear protection
Ball cap or other hat with at least a front brim on it
Water and snacks

* A word on ammunition counts. I always ask students to bring more ammo than I think you will need. Better to have too much and take some home than to run out partway through the day!

If you are unsure of some of the equipment, or need recommendations, do not hesitate to contact me.

Dress appropriately for the weather, whatever it will be. Comfortable attire and shoes/boots are a must. Bring plenty of water.
