Core Carbine Training Class
Core Carbine Course
Prerequisite: Foundational Carbine
This 2-day course is a natural progression from the foundational skills learned previously at Badlands, at the foundational level. In this course, students will be exposed to more strenuous and skill intensive techniques as they learn new methods to safely and efficiently operate their carbines. In this course students should be expected to operate outside of their comfort zones and continue to dismiss their paradigm of a square range.
Tuition
$400 Per Student
As with all BadLands Tactical courses, students may utilize our lodging here at the Village at no extra cost. The Village offers 2-man rooms, each with a half bath, shower facilities, along with a commercial size kitchen. Students are responsible for providing their own meals.
Equipment Required
- Quality carbine (*Note—quality means that the weapon is reliable and will function as expected. Please don’t bring a carbine that you haven’t function checked. Instructors will no longer spend large amounts of time fixing students’ weapons. The M4 variant is the preferred weapon platform, but Ruger, IWI, AK, M14 and similar variants are also viable weapon systems)
