Basic Carbine Level 1 course

Carbine Level 1 builds on the Intro to Carbine course geared toward personal protection shooting. Carbine Level 1 is a basic course that is appropriate for individuals with limited carbine experience and are interested refining their skills and becoming more proficient with the AR-type platform.

Students receive an in-depth lesson on the fundamentals of rifle marksmanship, which includes an instructor demonstration followed by student dry-fire practice. Participants head to the range to confirm zero and perform a variety of tactical shooting drills designed to improve carbine/rifle familiarity and marksmanship for self-defense.

All 88 Tactical training courses are built on the core concept of Reality Behavior-Based Conditioning© (RBBC). RBBC was developed from this maxim: “the study of behavior is as important as the study of tactics.” 88 Tactical courses condition an appropriate crisis response that maximizes performance while working with, instead of against, a person’s survival-oriented instincts and intuitions.

The 4-hour course is available at 88 Tactical’s Omaha Training Facility.
