August 17-18 - Combat Carbine Level 1 - Lancaster, KY
This course was developed for the armed professional and shooting enthusiast who desires to attain a higher level of mastery over his weapons system.
Hosted by Sugar Creek Range in Lancaster, KY
While this course focuses on the AR15 family of weapons, all semi auto weapons systems are welcome. You will engage targets from zero to 300 meters and beyond (range depending), use cover, and perform under stress. This is not a shoot-til-you-puke course, you will be required to think and concentrate while negotiating courses of fire, but don’t worry; your barrel will get smoking hot too. You will make shots from positions and distances you may have never considered and leave with the confidence and mindset necessary to prevail and return home safely.

If you are an armed professional who utilizes certain tactical gear during the course of your duties, by all means please bring it with you and train with it. Not all of the training will require your kit so try to have some pouches to train “slick”.
