If you can only take one rifle, which one is it? That question has been asked by a lot of very capable men. My answer is the Hybrid Carbine, a 11.5-16 in accurate 5.56 rifle with a 1-6, 1-8, or 1-10 power LPVO. With this setup, you can shoot anything from CQB distances to 400-700 yards and beyond. This course will work carbine fundamentals and then jump right into medium distance shooting (out to 400-700 yards).
Course curriculum will include:
- Carbine fundamentals and close-range manipulation
- Medium distance shooting
- Transitioning from near to far targets

and more.

The Amtac Shooting Magnified Optic Carbine Course
Lead Instructor: Bryan Resnick
Near Indianapolis, IN
What does your “go to” carbine set up look like? For me, it will most certainly include some sort of magnification. Whether a Hybrid Carbine with anLVPO or a RDS set up with Magnifier, being able to see better is a massive advantage in the fight.

Are you maximizing your system’s potential? Come find out!
