Tactical Carbine for Personal Defense

While primarily designed around America’s Rifle, the AR-15, this educational workshop delivered by experienced U.S. Special Operations veterans will cover the practical knowledge needed to employ any tactical carbine for self defense and what you need to know to make good decisions when purchasing a rifle or accessories. 

We will help shooters realize the full potential of their rifle and give experienced professional advice on optical sights, slings, lights, ammunition, and many other accessories. With the never ending list of accessories available, it’s important to know the difference between what simply looks cool and what actually improves performance. 

This information along with a demonstration of tactical carbine marksmanship techniques will ensure every attendee leaves a more informed and better shooter.  There will also be an exciting preview of the 2 day NRA Tactical Carbine Courses being offered in 2017!
