223 Defensive Carbine
The Modern Technique, as applied to the carbine. Learn to manage your environment from arm’s length to 200 yards.
This class covers all the important aspects of marksmanship, gun handling and mindset. Shoot from a variety of positions and learn how to use them to conform to available cover in our outdoor simulators including the famous Gunsite Scrambler. Outdoor simulators will challenge your ability to locate and put accurate fire on targets at unknown distances.
In addition to the range drills, school drills, carbine “El Presidente” and simulators, you will shoot on the move, learn to get off the line of attack, transition from carbine to pistol and shoot in low light/no light conditions.
Carbines make an excellent choice for home defense. You will learn tactics that can be employed in your home or place of business in our live fire indoor and outdoor simulators.
AR-15, SCAR-L, AK-74, AK-47, Mini-14 and similar carbines are all applicable for this class.
