T1T Tier 2 Carbine

Course Length: 1 day or 2 day options.

Course Description: Tier 1 Carbine builds on the Tier 1 Carbine foundation, focusing on critical accuracy in less-than-ideal situations against less-than-ideal presented threats, fully exploring the three dimensional threat and the unlikely nature of a traditional point of aim.

This class focuses almost exclusively on movement, problem solving and compromised points of aim, avoiding the more static, fundamentals-focused shooting seen in Tier 1 Carbine.  This course is moderately physically demanding and the tempo is higher than some students may have experienced before; applying as much stress as possible to hone skills on the gun under closer-to-real-world circumstances.  Marksmanship requirements under as realistic as possible conditions drives the two day course.

• Real World safety
