Each participant is urged to have had a fundamental marksmanship and/or carbine class prior to this. This is not a suitable first rifle class for anyone.

Training with a local friend who has a military background - including combat MOS and combat experienced individuals is good! However, military doctrine and civilian considerations are vastly different. What's more is few combat veterans differentiate these needs without becoming certified instructors and mentoring from a solid civilian training school. 

If you have a combat vet helping your group out with tactics, this is an excellent class for them to attend with you! Our instructors are prepared to take their knowledge and teaching abilities to the next level by demonstrating the differences in civilian needs vs. military doctrine!

If you have a small team of 2 or more that would like to train together, and are willing to purchase as a group, we offer a special discount for you!  The more people you can organize, the greater the discount that can be offered.

Because this class is by request only, please contact us to work out a good date for your Small Unit Tactical Essentials Experience.
