Hi all, haven't posted here in awhile. My 15 year old son wants to take a carbine course. I told him I would do it with him if I could find one. Does anyone know of any carbine courses where a 15 year old can participate? I don't mind driving a few hours.  I'm on the Middle Peninsula and work in Richmond.  Thanks!

I'd call Commonwealth Criminal Justice Academy and simply ask. They have a one day course, when they have them, that are totally worthwhile. It might even be possible to get a course with only two of you in it.

I have trained with both of the above mentioned folks and endorse both highly.


Having said that, the most convenient of the two would be CCJA.

Their classroom is in Fredericksburg and their range is near Kings Dominion.

You can't go wrong with either.

I have two of those, mags dropping from a bad mag catch.  Proud of them.

Moving to the area...  Glad to see a couple of Pat's haunts are within a couple hours - time for more training!  

Any other big name trainers do much in VA?

Pat Rogers at EAG Tactical is always an excellent choice.

If you are willing to travel and spend a couple of days Tactical Defense Institute in Ohio is another excellent choice.

The following suggestion must come with a disclaimer - I am the lead instructor for Green Ops.

If you live in or near the NOVA area Green Ops maybe a good option for you.

Currently we operate out of the NRA Range and the Culpeper 4H.

At the NRA we hold a 4-5 clinic. At the 4H we have a full 8 hour training day.

$35 of every course fee at the 4H goes to support the youth program

We would be honored to train you and your son.

Recommend the Green Ops guys as well.  Again, from personal experience.

Also curious to hear some post class thoughts on the carbine course.  I was in a pistol class with Mike, the Director of Training at Green Ops, and he came across as knowing his stuff, both as far as technical and instruction.

I'm going to signup for their April 23rd class I think as well. Unfortunately it seems most of their classes fall on work days for me.
