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.

Student Testimonials

See what students of our Basic Carbine Level 1 course have to say about their training experience!

Just completed Carbine 1, once again another excellent course from 88 Tactical. Kurt was an excellent instructor with a wealth of knowledge. As a lifelong shooter I thought I had the skills for most situations, boy was I wrong! Not only did Kurt help me with my shooting “style” I also found several issues with my weapon set up. Highly recommend this course to everyone.

Excellent experience at Carbine 1. From one firearm instructor to another, job well done. I would recommend 88 Tactical to anyone wishing to expand their knowledge and skill set in an open minded, reality-based program.

Completed the Carbine Level 1 class in Tekamah this weekend. I may not be a professional but my instructor would say, "I'm better than less better." Extremely professional and proficient. I highly recommend anybody that owns an AR/M4 to take this class. You will not be disappointed.
