Scoped Carbine

The Scoped Carbine course is a class designed for the shooter who wants to prepare their skill set for purposes other than home defense. Varmint hunting, longer range target shooting, and competition. The student will receive instruction on carbine manipulations, ballistic software, wind, multiple target engagements from 50 to 600 yards, shooting from supports, intermediate shooting positions, shooting with a sling, and moving targets. This is not a precision rifle course, so don’t feel you need an expensive gun. Most AR-15s with a 16 inch barrel will do with a good scope on them shooting medium to heavy bullets will do just fine in the class.
