If you own a carbine and have never been taught to run it properly, this is where to start. Zeroing, handling, malfunctions and the fundamentals that make a rifle useful rather than just owned.

What we cover

  • Safe handling, loading and unloading
  • Zeroing your optic or irons
  • Shooting positions — standing, kneeling, prone, supported
  • Reloads and malfunction clearing
  • Basic maintenance so it keeps running

Bring: your rifle, eye and ear protection, and roughly 100 rounds. Ask about a rental if you do not own one yet.
