Course Details
Info
This class focuses on the close quarters use of the rifle or submachinegun. Also known as CQB (close quarters battle), this training focuses largely on surgical shooting from just outside of arm’s reach to approximately 50 yards.
Focus is on quick target acquisition and elimination, via various alignment and sighting methods. We will work on proactive “hostage rescue type” surgical marksmanship, as well as reactive dynamic movement exercises, and weapon retention drills. I plan to do some work as well with bilateral firing, use of cover and use in and around vehicles.
We will also go through various CQB qualification courses from “famous name” teams around the world.
If you live or operate in an urban area and rely on such a weapon as a primary defensive tool, this class will open your eyes to the possibilities of deployment.
