This course is designed to show what capabilities are possible with a carbine outside of what is classically considered the "threshold" of performance.

We will define what success is, identify the principles required to produce it, and learn how to train the skills required. We will train to perform on demand for fast accurate shooting in any application, from any position be it unsupported or barricaded, at any practical distance.

We also will explore shots that require maximum precision, taking lessons and principles from the Sniper/DMR roles and fitting them to make sense on the carbine.

This course is purpose built for ar15 pattern gas guns with red dot, red dot plus magnifier, or LPVO. Higher powered variable optics may attend so long as there is a 1x capability on the rifle. (i.e offset red dot or 12oclock red dot) 

 We will cover:

 Gear/Rifle set up and maximizing efficiency

Connection to the rifle and the requirements of the mount for performance applications

Recoil mitigation and accomplishing what is required

Principles of rifle marksmanship at speed

Visual discipline in conjunction with stability

Barricade stability and mechanics based on understanding the principles of stability

Movement mechanics for maximum efficiency on barricades 

Levels of confirmation visually based on understanding target/dot/reticle relationship

Training to gain speed in application 

Modulating your speed based on visual input from the sight, target size risk, or consequence of failure and developing mental discipline to apply what needs to be done

And more based on time availability...

The student should expect to leave with a new understanding of how vast the capabilities are with a standard carbine, knowing what they must to do accomplish the success, and understand how to train the skill sets to enhance overall operator performance with a carbine.
