Carbine Vitals.

Carbine Vitals (day 1) is designed to present students of various experience levels with the essential skills and knowledge required to take them to a high level of proficiency in fighting with a carbine.  Balancing speed and accuracy with respect to tactics and weapons manipulation, Carbine Vitals I is a fast paced mentally and physically demanding course.

Day 2 begins by building upon the core competencies established in Carbine Vitals I through an increased sense of urgency in weapons manipulation and shot delivery with respect to precision and time availability.  In Carbine Vitals II we move past static shooting by engaging minds, incorporating the secondary weapon and communication while dealing with the environment and geographics. The course culminates to a final individual event that requires each shooter to employ the techniques learned in Carbine Vitals I and II while experiencing mental and physiological stressors.
