Course description

This will be our first shooting course in Finland so we decided to go with a 1 day dedicated rifle course. The class is designed around your primary firearm which should be a modern semi-automatic (or full-auto) rifle in any caliber. Optics are optional. Secondary firearm (handgun) is not required but you can bring it with you.

Required equipment includes a rifle sling, magazine carrying solution (pouches, chest rig, plate carrier,…) and personal protective equipment. No special gear required but if someone wants to take the course with his ballistic plates and helmet, he is more than welcomed to.

Main focus will be on proper handling, manipulating and shooting with your rifle. This will include some shooting fundamentals but also advanced techniques. That's why this class isn't appropriate for complete beginners. We require at least some basics firearm skills from our students like marksmanship and most importantly, safe firearm handling.

Because of the shooting range limitations this course will focus on close range shooting and tactics.

Depending on the whole group knowledge and performance there will also be some individual and team tactics implemented during the course.

Polenar Tactical training for Finland

Instructor

Žiga Polajnar was born on 24th of April 1989 in Ljubljana, Slovenia. Both of his grandfathers fought in the second world war and his father is a veteran of the Slovenian war of independance. This may had some influence on him since from the young age Žiga was always interested in mechanical machines, firearms and military vehicles. The interest only grew and he started to shoot with real firearms at the age of 15 under the supervision of his father.

He learned a lot from older and more experienced shooters. Žiga got his firearm license at the age of 18 and started to compete in precision shooting disciplines, especially high caliber pistol at 25 meters and high caliber rifle at 100 meters with open sights. When precision shooting stopped beeing a challenge he decided to go into practical and tactical shooting categories. He completed multiple courses and got IPSC, IDPA license and has become IASC range officer.

He studied Defense Studies in Ljubljana and completed basic specialized military training for an officer in Slovenian military but decided not to join and rather pursue a civilian carrer. As a student of defense studies he participated in a training excercise »Lynx 2013« with Slovenian military special forces (ESD) as OPFOR and particiapetd in HEAT 2013 (hostile enviroment awareness training) in cooperation with slovenian police and special forces to prepare civilian personel for EU peacekeeping missions.

Žiga enjoyed the 3-gun type competitions the most where he also excelled with his score. Through different competitions he realized that his true passion is tactical shooting. With that in mind he started to develop his own techniques in search of more ergonomic, faster and more efficient firearm manipulations. In the mean time he trained in different martial arts for 6 years including special police techniques, fighting with and against knives and other weapons, some jujitsu and full force sparring. He also fought in Dog Brothers European gathering in Switzerland in 2011. Žiga used his knowledge and skills to work as a firearm instructor at CSB for handgun and rifle shooting courses, still works as an instructor for firearm proficiency test for maritime security personel for outside company, works as a main firearm instructor for handgun and rifle classes in Polenar Tactical, workes as an instructor, range officer and organisator at SD1991 shooting club. Helped with firearm testing and developing the AKB15 rifle from Arex.

In 2016, Polenar Tactical with Ziga as the head instructor, started with firearms training courses in Slovenia and around the world (AK courses in Dallas TX, Defense Pistol in 4 cities in Brasil, Shotgun classes in Austria, etc.)

Žiga is a specialist for AK type rifles, extensively knows techniques for proper handgun shooting and handling, is very proficient with different types of shotguns, knows marksmanship ecsentials and is generaly a good shooter all around. He can adapt to different firearms and styles and knows how to operate with multiple firearm platforms.
