This is a basic, entry level training course.  No prior training with a carbine is required.  The goal of the course is to have a great time together, while learning the fundamentals of operating a semi-automatic magazine fed rifle.  All that is required is a positive outlook and the ability to safely manipulate a firearm while in the presence of others.

• Setting up your carbine and sling to suit the individual shooter
• Zeroing your iron sights and / or red dot
• Speed and administrative reloading
• Clearing of malfunctions
• Sling manipulations
• Fundamentals of movement with a carbine

• Seasonally appropriate clothing including:
  • Closed toe shoes
  • Long pants for kneeling and shooting from prone
  • Baseball style hat
• Shirts:
  • No low cut tops. Hot brass down the shirt is never fun.
  • Long sleeves are preferable when laying down in prone position
• Carbine fitted with:
  • Sling (critically important - a sling is mandatory)
  • Iron sights, red dot optic, or both
  • Note: We will not be using magnified optics for this course
  • See images and descriptions of acceptable firearms below
• 2 or more magazines
• Magazine carrier if you have one - if not, simply put your extra magazine in your back pocket
• 200 rounds of ammo (see below)
• Knee and/or elbow pads are optional. We don't typically wear them, but feel free to bring them if you would like to.
• Shooting mat to lay on (optional). Yoga mats work pretty well.
• Eye and ear protection
• Water, lunch and snacks
• Note taking gear

If you are unsure of your gear, what you need or how to set it up, we are more than happy to help you.  That is what we are here for!

We call this a carbine course because so many people own AR-15 style rifles chambered in 5.56 / .223 - but - this course is not limited to AR's in rifle calibers.

The following platforms are certainly acceptable as well:

• Pistol caliber carbines (rifles in 9mm, .40 caliber, etc)
• AR-15's in .22 caliber
• Sub-gun style platforms in pistol calibers (all NFA and BATF rules apply) - see Alternate Firearms images below

Not sure if what you have will work?  Give us a call or send us an email.

Note: This course is for semi-auto firearms only.  No full auto weapons will be allowed.  All NFA and BATF rules must be adhered to at all times.

200 rounds is required for the course.

Having trouble finding ammo?  It is not as tough as you might think.

Note: Super Vel is our go to ammunition manufacturer.

Armor piercing and incendiary rounds are NOT allowed under any circumstances.

Can I bring my .22 caliber AR-15?  Absolutely! The fundamentals of shooting will not change no matter the caliber you are shooting.  Bring your .22 and enjoy the savings in ammo cost.

If you have trouble finding ammo or are not sure what to purchase - caliber, grains, projectile type... we are happy to help.  Just give us a call or send an email.

Be sure and arrive in the morning with your lunch, snacks and drinks on hand. You will not have time to make a round trip into town and back during the lunch break.
