Tactical Carbine I & II
Brock’s Gap Training Center
Birmingham, Alabama
Saturday & Sunday, November 20-21
0800 – 1600
Tactical Carbine I assumes some very basic knowledge of the Carbine (based on the M16/AR-15 style rifle) and may move too quickly for the complete novice. If you have questions about the suitability of this course for your situation, please contact us for more information. During the course we will review basic operations and safe gun handling procedures, discuss accessories available for the Carbine, ammunition, care and maintenance and review shooting fundamentals. The course includes a rifle zeroing exercise at 25 or 50 yards. Factors in determining which yardage to use when zeroing will be discussed during the course.
Tactical Carbine II picks up where Tactical Carbine I leaves off focusing on Close Quarters Engagement situations, movement exercises, breaching and clearing operations, and extensive reflexive fire drills. Tactical Carbine I is a prerequisite for Tactical Carbine II.
