Basic Carbine 101

« Back to All Courses

This course is also offered as Ladies Only


Description:

This two-part course will take you through every element you’ll find necessary when building a solid foundation of safety and function with a carbine rifle.

The classroom portion will cover parts, pieces, and basic rifle operation. Firearm take down, an overview of cleaning technique, and troubleshooting basics confirm the foundational understanding of how it works and why. Dry fire practice introduces accuracy aids, proper positional shooting, and competency in full platform operation.

Range day finds us understanding the sight in process, practicing multiple types of reloads, malfunction clearing, and basic accuracy from your respective point blank out to 50 yards. Positional shooting tests accuracy, while basic barricade work stretches new skills. The range portions is a fun-filled mix of active shooting drills to lock in new-found skills.

This course benefits the first time carbine shooter as well as the experienced. Tips on Alaska state law, the use of carbines for home and personal defense, and the legality of hunting with a carbine are shared in appreciation of this multi-purpose platform.

A few clips from the recent Long Range 101 course A few clips from the recent Long Range 101 course - an intensive process towards consistent impacts at distance. 
Day one ironed out body mechanics and foundations on the mid range, and day two was spent on the long range focusing on consistent impacts at 600-1000 yards. Peep that hammered 1000yd 18x24" plate in pic 2! 
A deep dive into the pillars that support repeatability even with the endless list of variables we navigate with precision long range shooting. Great crew of shooters, intermittent rain and stunning sunshine, overall a great weekend on the range! 

Congrats to Slowpoke for earning the coveted Accurate Advantage Skittles Trophy!
