2025 SAFS
2025 will mark the 35th year that the U.S. Service Rifle Small Arms Firing School (SAFS) is being provided by members of the NYSRPA to members of the NYSRPA. The Peconic River Sportsman’s Club is proud to continue this fine tradition as the host of this program. This is a two-day course that is designed to provide you with the basic knowledge required to safely compete in a High-Power Rifle Match. This program will instruct you on firing from position, both slow and rapid fire with only sling support. We provide detailed blocks of instruction on safety, sight alignment and adjustment, trigger control, match operations and of course the fundamentals of marksmanship. This program is approved by the Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP) and fulfils one of the requirements for purchasing firearms from the CMP.
The instruction you receive will be exclusively on the AR-15 A2 Service Rifle with iron sights. Scopes are permitted in actual NRA and CMP competition however we concentrate on the fundamentals by using iron sights for the course. The club has National Match AR-15 A2 rifles for loan at no additional charge.
Our lead instructors are all current or past members of the NYSRPA Service Rifle Team. Many are nationally ranked competitors as well as Distinguished Riflemen. Our instructional team is also supplemented with volunteer competitors that hail from throughout NY State. You will receive one on one marksmanship instruction. The two-day course consists of about a half day of classroom instruction followed by dry fire exercises from position, on the range. A short qualification course will also be fired at 50 yards using the AR-15 platform with a .22 rim fire upper. On Sunday, you will fire a modified CMP course at 200 yards using the AR-15 Service Rifle.
We have put approximately 2100 people through this course since its inception. Many have gone on to compete and win at the national level. The attendance for this course is limited to the first 66 qualified entries. It will sell out quickly. The dates for 2025 are April 26 and 27.
I hope we will see you there!
