Defensive AR15
Defensive AR15
$0.00
This class will teach the student to effectively deploy, carry, and utilize an AR15 carbine for self and home defense. You will learn how to carry the weapon with a sling, engage single and multiple targets, engage targets at close range, move with your carbine, and several other necessary skills. While the class is primarily designed for close range urban encounters, many other useful carbine skills will be learned and practiced.
You will need the following equipment for the class:
AR15 style carbine that is capable of being attached to a sling. Long barreled carbines (over 20 inches) can be used , but they are cumbersome.
- At least 500 rounds of 5.56/.223
- A belt pouch for magazines or tactical style pants/bdu’s (5.11 gear is great, go to lapolicegear.com) that is capable of holding magazines and can be easily accessed with the weak hand. Pouches for magazines are inexpensive, available online, and will enhance your training experience.
- You will need a sling, one or two point is best. VTAC two point sling is excellent as is GSG, Urban E.R.T., and Bungee sling. Calibers has a number of these excellent slings that will fit your weapon. Remember that you must have sling mounts. The staff at Calibers is great and will help with all of the above. Have your sling attached and ready to go prior to day 1 of class. Calibers will not be able to accomodate last minute armoring.
- You will need to make sure that your AR15 is in good condition and functions with the magazines and ammunition you have selected to use for the class
- You will need a sidearm (handgun) with holster and magazine pouch for transition drills.
- Bring 50 rounds of handgun ammunition (no lead bullets) for your sidearm.
- Eye and ear protection. 5.56 in confined spaces is loud.
- Bring a cleaning kit appropriate for your carbine, an old towel or large cloth, or a disassembly mat.
- Sharpie.
- Pen and note taking materials.
- Comfortable, sturdy shoes that allow ease of movement and are comfortable to stand in for long periods. No open toed shoes of any kind.
- Clothing should be comfortable and sturdy, and all shirts must be tucked in. We will work almost exclusively from the sling carry, and your clothing must not interfere with a shotgun attached to a sling or with your holstered sidearm. To avoid hot brass going down your shirt and against your skin, wear a high collar or no collar shirt both days to class.
- If you have a light that attaches to your carbine, bring it. It is not mandatory, but it will enhance your training experience. If you wish to attach an optic, EOTech or Aimpoint are the best (Calibers).
The class will be an intensive, 8 hour a day course. While there will be classroom time and breaks will be given, there is no lunch/dinner break. If you have special needs or dietary restrictions please plan in advance.
Lastly, this class is restricted to twelve (12) persons, and will fill quickly, so please respond ASAP. Please be courteous to Calibers and others by not cancelling at the last minute or failing to show up. It prevents other interested persons from attending.
