Intermediate Carbine 201

« Back to All Courses

Description:

This two-part course challenges existing carbine and handgun skills in a combo course set to build your confidence and accuracy with the carbine platform. Why do you own a handgun? To fight your way to your rifle of course!

Classroom: Beginning with a refresh of carbine 101 technique and platform manipulation, we refresh typical and tactical load / reloads, minor / major malfunction clearing, and bi-lateral effectiveness. We’ll learn and test solid shooting positions and sling support while dry fire tunes your breathing and trigger control. Next we’ll introduce transitions from carbine to handgun utilizing SIRT laser training pistols for advanced dry fire practice with both carbine and handgun. A force on force training exercise (laser only) will further cement your situationally specific dedication to both the handgun and carbine platforms.  Firearm assessment and a defensive maintenance overview will wrap up our time in classroom, getting us ready to hit the range! This physical course will challenge and inspire you!

Range: Solid foundations host mighty structures, therefore a systematic refresh of bilateral function, manipulation, and accuracy begins our range time together. Shooting will take place at targets from 3 yards to 50 yards. Branching into barricades, we utilize the positions refreshed in classroom to make effective hits on multiple threat scenario targets. Teamwork is next introduced as together you and a partner engage and counter close and mid-range targets in adrenaline inducing drills. Defensive decision making, pinpoint accuracy, teamwork, communication, resource management, and situational awareness are all stretched in this confidence building course.

Intro To Long Range was an incredible day with an Intro To Long Range was an incredible day with an incredible crew of shooters! 

It's amazing how long the snow is hanging on, but no one complained about 65* and sunny... 1000yd success was sweet, and notable was that roughly half the class hadn't yet shot past 300yds, so the day was extra rewarding as they conquered the challenges of long range. 

At @akaccurateadvantage we have a tag it / bag it principle - impact once and that's cool, but impact three times in a row and prove you have mastered the concepts for repeatable accuracy and precision! The "Bagged It!" call was something to celebrate. 
Thanks to the shooters who gave the day to process, putting in the work to build the pillars required for long range impacts.

It's Spring Bear Training Season! We're going on t It's Spring Bear Training Season! We're going on two months now of frequent bear safety quals and have so enjoyed the time with the various teams headed to the field. 

Sharing potentially life saving information and coaching proficiency across the bear defense platforms is a passion - we hope our personal experience on this subject helps you find confidence while you're out there doing your job, keeps your team safe, and prevents the red tape of DLP, but we know your skills are honed for either outcome! 

Keep your head up, stay safe out there this season! 🐻
