OPS Tactical Carbine

Tactical Carbine is an intensive one day course that will help you develop a solid tactical platform for shooting, manipulating & moving with your rifle.  The emphasis is not on standing still & shooting small groups, but rather running your rifle in a real world environment.

Please come to class with tested & functioning weapons if at all possible.  Your rifle should be zeroed prior to the course.  We will confirm weapon zeros & the sooner this process is taken care of the sooner we can move on to other topics.  Your weapon should reliably function with your training ammo & magazines.  Bring gear that works.  Likewise, wearing your gear & moving around with your weapon before class will help you find any gear conflicts so you can fix them.  This will save you time & frustration on the range.  The recommended ammo quantity is a reasonable expectation.  If you tend to shoot more or jump in on drills if space allows you may need more.  If you’re judicious with your shooting you can get by with less but you will not get the maximum benefit of the class.

 

You are responsible for informing the instructors of any condition that might interfere with your ability to perform some of the class drills.  We will do whatever we can to accommodate as wide a range of students as possible and the more notice we have the better prepared we can be.  You are also responsible for brining any medical devices or medications that you might need during class. 

 

We shoot rain, snow or shine so come prepared.  The weather in Colorado can be very unpredictable- overpack to be on the safe side.  There are no refunds for lack of student preparation.
