 Let's talk about rifles. Hey everyone, Dylan Schumacher, Citadel Defense, and this video is about our Citizen Rifle One course. Couple times a year, I teach a course called Citizen Rifle One, and I wanted to make a quick video to explain what that course is and what it is that we're gonna do at that course. So, Citizen Rifle One is for people who want to learn to use their rifle. That should be fairly obvious. Be that, you know, an AR-15, your AK, a SCAR, you know, whatever, this is a course to learn how to shoot your rifle. And one of the things that really makes our Citizen Rifle One course unique, among other courses that I've been to, is the fact that we learned to do that in the context of a buddy team. At the beginning of the course, you're paired up with a buddy, and if you come with a friend, even better, you already have your buddy, and you really learn to shoot, move, and communicate with your buddy during this course. We learn to shoot our rifles in the context of a buddy team, because that's really the fundamental building block for learning to shoot your rifle with a larger team. And hopefully in your life, you have someone who can be your buddy partner or teammate, right? If it's your spouse, if it's your friend, whatever. And hopefully you can both come and take the course together. But if not, at least you're able to learn those basic fundamentals of working with a buddy, and you can take that back home with you, and then you can be a buddy partner to your buddy, and you guys can be more effective together, and you can have some synergy together rather than just being an individual rifleman. I really like the idea of teaching how to shoot the rifle in the context of a buddy team, because if you just learn that way, and you learn how to work with a buddy from the get-go, then it's gonna make other things way, way simpler. I think that part of the problem is that we can develop training scars if we're only ever used to shooting a rifle by ourself. And if we're only ever taught that it's just kind of us in the flat range, everybody's online, and everything's good, and there are good safety controls that have there, right? But my point being that you can get a training scar if you only start thinking about yourself when you're working your rifle. Whereas if you're forced to work in the context of a buddy pair and a buddy team, and how to safely work with your partner to engage threats based on priority, you're gonna learn a lot, lot more. So I really like teaching rifles in the context of a buddy pair. So I would invite you to come on out. I guarantee you probably haven't had a class like this before where you've gotten to work with a buddy closely all day and shoot rifles together all day, and it's a lot of fun. The only requirement for this course, and which is of course a requirement for any gun course you would ever take, is to follow the four rules of gun safety. And if you're gonna follow the four rules of gun safety, then we're gonna have a great time. If you don't know what those are, don't worry, we talk about them at class. If you do know what those are, well, even better. We all just have to actually do them. So I hope that is helpful. I hope that gives you some insight into what Citizen Rifle One is about and how we do things. And I really hope to see you at a Citizen Rifle One course where we can learn to shoot your rifle better together with your buddy. Do brave deeds and endure.
