Fieldcraft Survival Precision Carbine
Precision Carbine is designed to push both the shooter and 5.56 platform out past normal engagement distances. Shooters will learn how to use their equipment to reliably engage targets out to 600 yards, while employing tools to add stability such as tripods, rear bags, and slings. Students will also learn alternative shooting positions that are applicable when deploying this platform outside the flat range, and be introduced to the benefits of ballistics calculators. This course is for intermediate users of the AR-15/M4 platform, with a solid understanding of firearm safety and manipulations.
