Course Description: The RZS Basic Carbine Operator Course will familiarize students with the functioning and safe employment of the semi automatic carbine for defensive and sporting uses. Students will learn and perform a variety of skills to develop capabilities and confidence with the carbine. Students will also learn proper cleaning and lubrication of the carbine and the advantages and disadvantages of different carbines and accessories. The primary focus is the real world defensive use of the carbine, however, most of the techniques will also apply to 3 gun and action type competitions. This course is designed around the AR-15 family of firearms, but students may use other suitable centerfire carbines and rifles. A firearm that uses detachable box magazines is highly recommended.

Some of the course skills and techniques include:
-Proper set up of the carbine
-Proper loading and unloading procedures
-Zeroing and use of offset
-Optimal shooting stance
-Ready positions
-Engagement techniques
-Maneuvering the carbine to engage off line threats
-Selectively engaging targets
-Shooting from movement and on the move

Acceptable carbines include but are not limited to:
-AR15 series
-AK series
-M1 carbine
-Beretta Storm
-SIG 556
-FN SCAR
-XCR
-AUG
-FN-FAL
-HK-91 series
-M14/M1A (preferably without match sights)
-Mini-14

NOTE: All carbines must function safely. For many shooters, this will be the hardest you’ve run your carbine. Please do not bring a firearm with known functioning issues, as this will be detrimental to both you and the other participants.

Required Equipment:
-YOUR BRAIN
-Eye protection
-Ear protection
-Serviceable, zeroed carbine (you need to know your zero)

Successful completion of the course gets you a certificate.

I'm looking to run a more advanced carbine course in October. I'm not going to say you need to have taken my basic class to take my advanced class, but you won't want to come to the higher level classes with no training at all.

[OLIVER]

Thanks for the links to the vids' of the class.

I am going to try to clear my scedule, I should know in the next week.

How much space is available in the class as of now, and could you hold a space for me until next tuesday?

Thank both of you for answering my questions.

[DPB]

Class slots are no problem at the moment

[DPB]

Two weeks out, we still have lots of openings.

[Shawn.L]

any idea when youll be scheduling the follow up class ?

[DPB]

I'm looking at the second half of October. I'll have a date by the middle of August.

At the moment, participation in the classes on the next two weekends is thin.
