Carbine #201 | Defensive Concepts

Carbine #201 is for shooters who already have a solid foundation with their carbine and want more demanding training. The course covers intermediate close-quarters concepts, cover and concealment, target identification, safe movement, stoppages and firearm handling under stress and fatigue.
