FITNESS, MOBILITY, AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITY

Participants should be in good physical condition and capable of moderate physical activity. The ability to fire from the kneeling position (knee pads required) will be addressed. Enrollees should be able to move (walk) forward, backward, left and right with the rifle in a shouldered position for short periods of time. Our curriculum involves repetitive drilling with the rifle from a combat-ready firing position so reasonable upper body strength is required. You need not be an athlete to participate, but note that those who are significantly overweight, nicotine dependent, or in poor aerobic health will have difficulty mastering the concepts presented.
