IMPORTANT: Because the HybridLong Gun 2 Training Course builds from fundamental firearms principals and techniques which were covered in the HybridLong Gun 1 Training Course, it is our policy that a participant must go through the Intuitive Defense Hybrid Long Gun 1 Training Course and/or an equivalent long gun/rifle training course (proof of training will be requested) from another reputable firearms training company before participating in the HybridLong Gun 2 Training Course. Current or previous law enforcement and/or military training experience (depending on the level) may also be an acceptable qualification for entry into this training course. We want to be sure that all participants are on the same page to help ensure this course is ran safe and efficiently.
This course is designed to be taught as a one-on-one private session or in a smaller group setting of approximately 2-5 participants. There are periodic breaks throughout the course, along with an allotted lunch break (approximately 30 minutes). Since the flow of information moves quicker with smaller groups, the training pace is faster, which is why this course covers more information by combining our Long Gun 3 and Long Gun 4 Training Course.This course is expected to last approximately 8-11 hours.We do our best to make sure all questions asked by participants are answered and understood before moving onto the next block of information. This helps to reduce the chances of any participant(s) falling behind during the training.
We also have guns, equipment, and ammunition available to use for our training courses if needed. For more information, please click here: Equipment Rental and Ammunition Purchase

Ammunition Considerations
You do not positively know where your shooting skill level is until you asses it, which requires you to run your gun and put rounds on target at the range. That being said, we know ammunition is expensive and in some cases, can be difficult to find. We also know how important it is to get confirmation of skill though live fire drills on the range, which is why we offer two round count variants for our firearms training courses which gives you the ammunition expenditure option that works best for you.
Full Round Count (FRC)
Low Round Count Alternative (LRCA)
Please note these options do not change the cost of the course, unless you are purchasing ammunition directly from Intuitive Defense to use in the HybridLong Gun 2 Training Course. More information on purchasing ammunition from us can be found in the Equipment Rental and Ammunition Purchase section below.
Wether you are brining your own ammunition or purchasing from Intuitive Defense, please specify which option you want (FRC or LRCA) at checkout or when you request a Quote for Training. It should be noted, if you are brining your own ammunition, full metal jacket (FMJ) is typically the best option as it is usually cheaper than other types. Ammunition purchased through Intuitive Defense will be full metal jacket (FMJ) as well.
For this Hybrid Long Gun 2 Training Course, if all Courses of Fire (CoF) are shot, the course ammunition loadout per participant is:
Full Round Count (FRC): 1,157rounds (minimum of 603 rounds, but 1,157 is recommended to complete all CoF)
Low Round Count Alternative (LRCA): 782rounds (minimum of 392 rounds, but 782 is recommended to complete all CoF)
If you want to attend this training course or any others we offer, but you do not have your own gun, equipment, and/or ammunition, that is not a problem. We have made our guns and equipment available for those who need to rent them. This gives the participant the opportunity to get hands on experience at the range with a rifle before needing to purchase one for themselves. This can save time and money along with, helping to ensure you purchase a rifle that is right for you when that time comes. Going through the training before hand will also allow you to be more confident and comfortable when you get your first rifle. It is important to remember, not all rifles are created equal so understanding the feel, grip, weight, caliber, and size will allow you to be better informed when you go to the gun store.
Need ammunition for the training course? We got you covered there too! You can do a course specific full loadout or purchase what you need in 100 round increments (partial loadout). The second option works well for those who already have some ammunition, but not enough to complete a training course. The ammunition we offer is full metal jack (FMJ), which is perfect for range use.
Lastly, we also offer the "John Wick Experience". This is a unique opportunity to shoot several different types of rifles, to include those with red dots at the end of the training course. Experience is everything, especially when determining what type of rifle might be right for you. The John Wick Experience benefits new shooters, people who do not own a rifle yet, or those looking at getting another rifle.
