If you can only take one rifle, which one is it? That question has been asked by a lot of very capable men. My answer is the Hybrid Carbine, a 11.5-16 in accurate 5.56 rifle with a 1-6, 1-8 or 1-10 power LPVO. With this setup you can shoot anything from CQB distances to 400-700 yards and beyond. This course will work carbine fundamentals and then jump right in to medium distance shooting (out to 400-700 yards). 

Course curriculum will include:

• Carbine fundamentals and close range manipulation
• Medium distance shooting 
• Transitioning from near to far targets 
• Intro to external ballistics
• Understanding MOA's and MRAD
• Ballistic calculator use
• Truing your rifle 

and more.
