TACTICAL CARBINE RIFLE

Upcoming Dates:
August 19-20 Princeton MN

SLR15 Rifles were recently featured as the SWAT Magazine March 2006 cover story.

The Carbine Rifle is becoming more popular in the urban setting due to its great accuracy capabilities, and generally it is easier to shoot for most people due to its lack of recoil. This lack of recoil, combined with greater accuracy, make it a favorite among shooters. At the end of this course attendees will have confidence that they can shoot at something and hit it, and not be intimidated by recoil. Students will learn proper foundations, maintenance, employment, ammunition selection, mechanics and manipulation. This course is designed to hone basic fundamentals while teaching individual tactics and techniques. Movement shooting will be added and stressed. Students will deal with a multitude of different targets at varying distances, and learn to shoot from cover and concealment from twelve-plus different shooting positions. Multiple targets will challenge even the experienced operator. Proficiency will be stressed, as well as reloads, and malfunction clearing.

Cost: $250

My Brother in Law is supposed to be coming home on leave from Iraq some time August, I hope I can make this one

If you are serious about carbine shooting, this is a can't miss class. If you own and shoot an AR15 and would consider using one for home defense or zombies, etc., there is no excuse for not taking this class. It's basically the difference between knowing how to crawl vs. being able to run a marathon.

This is an amazing class. I've taken it twice, and wish I could take it again this year.

You don't need high speed gear, just a rifle, ammo, and an open mind. It's a great value for the money - if you are at all serious about shooting, take the class! You will learn an amazing amount of stuff and have a great time.

+1 I took this class for the first time this year. You learn alot if you have an open mind!! Would love to take again and will. Probably just not this year

What time does it start?

[#20]

Start time is 0800hrs (8:00am), promplty so plan on being there early and be ready as the sooner we get going the more trigger time we have. This is the last local Tactical Carbine Course we will do this year. We have some advanced courses that we will be doing during the week that are not shown on the schedule yet, but will soon. We have some Tactical Carbine Courses coming up in other states yet this Fall, with the possibility of SD if anyone wants to make a short road trip.

To all who are going....I'm going to bring a portable gas grill to make hot lunch...figure brats or maybe a burger. All are welcome to join in the fun - unless you want to be the true woodsmen and eat self-heating MRE's...

I think they make a unipod for that purpose.

maybe he could steal a rascal scooter from one of the elderly and turn it into a geriatric technical vehicle.

I'm in. Lord knows the Signal Corps needs more trained shooters...

Unfortunately I can't make it out to this event (or the fighting around vehicles course). I've been given a 1 week vacation, and I'm going to be gone from the 19th to the 27th...

At least when I'm on my vacation I'll get in a little bit of trigger time with my G17 and my AR-15 (it's a fishing/shooting/camping trip for a week). :-)

It's just not the same as professional training though. :-(

Wish I could Make it, but I've been dying for a vacation for quite some time and I'm in dire need of it, too!

Gotta get back to the grind...

Sully -
Saw that knee/elbow pads recommended....are we going to be doing more sugar cookies? After all the crap I pulled out of my Sig from the multiple targets alumni, i'm not sure my pretty new commander should be broken in so mercilessly.

Eli, I've got some extra slings. Let me know what kind you need. I'll be leaving for the Streichers open house sometime Friday morning. I'll need to know B4 I leave as I'm going to Princeton after that. Dan
