Operation Specific Training is pleased to announce our first Carbine Operator class at SIG SAUER Academy in Epping, N.H. on ---. This class has been postponed. Those registered have been contacted.
Instructors*:
Jerry Jones
Carbine Operator
Carbine Operator is a two-day program designed to equip a carbine shooter with the tools necessary to deploy their rifle at speed. The course is presented in a building block approach for deploying carbine at various distances. Each training block builds on the last in a fashion that incorporates logic and sound decision making in each evolution. It also gives the shooter a “roadmap” for future individual training.
The program is designed to push the carbine shooter to the next level. The course focuses around maximizing trigger control to solve marksmanship problems. This is NOT an “organized practice” type course that many schools offer, but a chance to work in groups on what matters most – having faith in the process of running the gun, and letting the target take care of itself.
