This 2-day, 16-hour course is built for experienced shooters preparing to enter NRL Hunter matches. Ridgeline Defense uses a field-oriented format focused on the skills needed to find, range, and engage hidden targets under time limits from improvised positions.

Instruction covers both shooting execution and match management. Students work on building stable positions with natural terrain, using tripods and range-finding tools efficiently, and understanding stage flow, scoring, rules, and engagement sequence. The course also addresses team division considerations, including spotter and shooter roles, communication, and time management, and it includes mock NRL stages to apply the material in a match-style setting.

Key training areas include:

  • In-depth laser range finder application for target location and distance confirmation
  • Locating and searching techniques for hidden targets in a field match setting
  • Alternate shooting positions and building stable support with natural terrain
  • Tripod usage for positional support and stage efficiency
  • NRL scoring, rules, engagement sequence, team considerations, and mock NRL stages

This course is best suited for competent rifle shooters, competitors, hunters, and MIL or LE personnel who already have solid gun handling and want to transition into NRL Hunter. Students need a precision scoped rifle capable of 1 MOA or better, match ammunition, and the field gear required to work from tripod-supported and improvised positions.
