"Very knowledgeable firearms instructor with decades of experience. The private outdoor shooting range is much better than being in a loud indoor range when you're trying to learn. Safety is always the #1 priority for the instructors." — Chris S., student review

The signature full-day course covers rifle fundamentals whether you're brand new or revisiting the basics. Students learn:

• •Safe handling and operation
• •Rifle parts and terminology
• •Proper loading/unloading
• •Marksmanship and zeroing
• •Sling setup and shooting positions (standing, kneeling, prone)
• •Diagnosing and correcting common errors
• •Basic cleaning and maintenance
• •California firearm laws including legal ownership, transportation, storage, and defensive use considerations

Course runs 9 AM–5 PM. Students can bring their own rifle or rent one for a small additional fee. Cost: $200.

• •Tier 1 Membership ($200/month) gives full access to all training courses, exclusive member-only events, and a custom "Swag Pack." No yearly contract—cancel anytime. For shooters training regularly, the membership saves significantly over booking individual classes.

• •Private Training Sessions available for select clientele. US Overwatch also provides security services.

• •Group Events include corporate training, ladies-only courses, bachelor parties, team building, and birthday parties.

Training takes place at The Rock outdoor facility in Alpine, California (1347 Tavern Rd., Alpine, CA 91901). The private outdoor range eliminates the noise and chaos of typical indoor ranges, allowing better communication and instruction.

Students should bring their own tactical rifle with iron sights or optic, three magazines, 200 rounds of ammunition, an adjustable rifle sling (Hefty Arms Nemesis Sling recommended), and belt-mounted magazine pouch.

• •Range Rush 2026 is US Overwatch's 3rd annual all-day training event featuring rotations through multiple skill stations. All experience levels welcome. Optional overnight campout available.

Instructors like Wes and Blue bring extensive background in tactical operations and safety-first instruction. Reviews consistently highlight their knowledge, teaching ability, and the professional environment.
