May 4-5 2024 - COMBAT CARBINE - 16 HOURS C.L.E.E.T. ACCREDITATION
The Combat Carbine course is a VERY fast and intense course designed to maximize a shooter’s deployment of their carbine’s capabilities in a close to intermediate range environment: 50 yards and less.
This class is designed for shooters who are familiar with the operation of their carbine and want to maximize their effectiveness while deploying it. This is NOT a beginner level class.

- Refresher of four fire arms safety rules;
- Zeroing procedures;
- Discussion and execution of precision shooting versus accurate fire;
- Sling fitment and utilization;
- Positional shooting;
- Reflexive fire;
- Use of cover;
- Reloading techniques;
- Primary to secondary transitions;
- Shooting on the move;
- Multiple target engagements; and,
- More….
