AMERICAN RIFLEMAN
9:00AM APRIL 11th, 2026 - Saluda, VA
This is a special range day with breakfast included. All new participants must be approved. Email trainwithredfox@gmail.com or call 1-877-673-3369 to go through the vetting process. 
The morning starts by sharing breakfast/brunch and spending time connecting with one another. During this time we will hear a short word from a guest speaker and begin the day with prayer, setting the tone for a morning focused on growth, discipline, and community.
After breakfast, we will transition to the range for a briefing and overview of the training plan. Participants will then work through several training evolutions as a group, focusing on foundational shooting skills, safe gun handling, and practical application through structured drills.
This event is designed to be both welcoming and challenging. Whether you are newer to formal training or have prior experience, the goal is to sharpen skills, build confidence, and strengthen the community around being American Riflemen.

FAQ:
How to I get in?
You MUST be approved to attend. Approval currently includes, completing a match with Red Fox Training Group, direct invitation by Red Fox Training Group staff, or for ALL OTHER CASES EMAIL OR CALL: trainwithredfox@gmail.com 1-877-673-3369
How much does it cost?
These days are pro-bono, meaning for the community. This event is not free, and we have often operated them at a loss to provide the opportunity for our community to meet and train together. Our mission-focused training schedule agrees that monthly training days are expensive to attend. We keep round count down to 100rds or less and encourage dry fire. These days often operate at a loss for Red Fox Training Group. Average cost per person is about $30 per person. If you would like to donate more to cover those who cannot afford to chip in, that is welcome. But we understand that people work hard for their money and this day is a gift to you.
Can I zero my rifle?
Please show up with your rifle already zeroed. If you need to zero your rifle please contact us and be prepared to come no less than 2 hours before the start time.
Can I show up late?
The time stated for American Rifleman is time for chow. This is not an open range day where you show up when you want. These days are intentionally structured to foster community building, personal development, and fellowship. Do not be late. You will not be able to participate if you have not attended the safety briefing and you will not be invited back if you do not participate in the community portion of the day.
Is this a male only event?
Men and women are both welcome to train!
