It is hard to classify anything rifle as “basic”, however there are few simple tosses that members using a rifle can complete with little practice. Note: in order for you to better understand how to do a rifle toss, look at the Equipment>Rifle page for the “Anatomy of a Rifle”.
Single Rifle Toss: To do a single rifle toss, hold the rifle with your left hand palm up at the belly, and your right palm down, covering the butt. Push the butt downward, and pull up with your left hand. When the nose of the rifle is pointed to the ground, release the rifle and let it rotate once (or a ’single’ time) in the air. Catch the rifle with your right palm up at the neck and left palm down at the nose.
Double Rifle Toss: Start out in the same position as the “single” toss. Again, let go of the rifle when the nose points to the ground. This time, give your toss a little more oomph!. Let it rotate twice in the air and catch in the same position that you caught the single.
