I am thinking of (finally) getting some formal training after shooting and assembling/modifying firearms for the past few years. Pistol classes make sense as-is, but I was looking at the NRA Basic Rifle Shooting Course or equivalent, and was wondering what's optimal to use for it.
I have an AR that runs perfectly well and would normally have thought that would be what I'd go in with... But I bought a CZ Scorpion Evo III 16" recently and have had a GREAT time with it. Do the NRA rifle courses cover stuff that would be unrealizable with a 9mm carbine - distances >100m, really tight groups >50m, etc.? Would I be wasting my time if I showed up with the Scorpion? It's a firearm I expect to keep indefinitely, and thinking of getting a second one to make it my first SBR, so it's likely there will be plenty of trigger time on it in the future.
