This course is now one week away - Monday, October 8.

Scott Reitz was one of a few in a cadre of instructors who turned the LA Police Department SWAT team around about 15 years ago. He is highly accomplished with the .223 carbine, and has a wealth of operational experience in an urban setting. He is prepared to share that knoweldge and experience with those who have previous formal instruction with this rifle.

One day only.
