Rifle class practices prone shooting position.

Level Three Rifle:
CLOSE QUARTERS CARBINE

Our third level of rifle/carbine training, enthusiastically received when introduced iin 2007, centers on using the .223 semi-auto carbine for close range encounters, from 3 to 25 yards. Subject matter includes movement, moving targets, 360-degree awareness and target engagement, along with multiple targets, low-light shooting, transition to handgun and hostage rescue concerns. Use of cover and stress exercises are also included.

Prerequisites: This course requires the student to have completed Level 2: Tactical Rifle (formerly FAS-7) or equivalent, along with Defensive Handgun or equivalent. Student will be required to present a state-issued license to carry a concealed handgun, military or police identification or other form of background check prior to participation.

Note about .308 caliber rifles in Level 3: There is a component of this class incorporating extremely rapid fire/high round count firing drills, and we believe the .308, while a great battle rifle cartridge, is not suitable for this class due to the recoil of the rifle and the effect it has on the shooter in these particular drills. We strongly urge a .223 caliber rifle, but if you choose to go with the .308, at least have the good sense to get a PAST recoil pad for your shoulder!
