COURSE:
This class strives to strengthen what was learned in Fundamental/Intermediate Carbine as a 2-day, and continues to add new skills with the addition of a secondary firearms platform, a handgun.  This class is also known as “Transitional Carbine” as we work on transitions from Rifle to a Handgun and back are incorporated.

Day-1 begins with different shooting positions, tactical movements while shooting, multiple target engagement(s), close quarters mechanical off-set, tactical reloads, malfunctions, & transition drills. This Skill Builder Class will consist of student competitions and may require running, jumping and other possible physical activity.

Day-2 will include some accelerated training while continuing to reinforce day ones training with the use of shooting drills.  These drills allow the student(s) to put the strategy to use with stress induced competitions to see how well you execute under the mental demands of each exercise.

You are required to make sure your rifle is zeroed as this will be a very fast paced course which does not allow time for zeroing.  A bare bones minimum zeroed distance for any tactical carbine should be 50 yards.  If you have questions please contact us for clarification:
