XMTG Firearms Training Academy

The Scoped Carbine Course is a 2-day class that is designed for the person utilizing a magnified optic on their self-defense carbine.   This course will focus on utilizing the scoped carbine at CQB distances as well as distances out to 600 yards.  The primary focus of this course will be to teach the student how to use their reticle in the optic to speed up their engagement times at extended distance.  More time will be spent shooting the scoped carbine like a precision rifle from the prone position as well as improvised positions.  There will be half a day of utilizing your scoped carbine for CQB engagements.  During the registration process please provide via email your optic and reticle that you will be utilizing in the course. This is not a course for someone that is new to operating a carbine and a handgun.
