This program is for participants who have completed the Chapman Academy Introduction to Defensive Pistol Course OR, who by virtue of training and experience (including training from other institutions) may be acceptable for this advanced level defensive program. Because of this, students eligible for this level of training must have had previous (pistol) experience with various exercises including moving targets, shooting on the move, and the tactical use of cover. We will teach you the carbine specific portions, building upon that knowledge.

The training scenarios provide the opportunity for students to apply their new shooting skills in practical defensive situations, including precision shooting at close range with your defensive firearm.
The carbine for class may be equipped with standard iron sights, or a scope. Optics commonly used in this course include very low power scopes, or non-magnifying red dot (electronic) systems; we will teach you to effectively use what you have.

Placing effective multiple shots on multiple targets
|
The Academy's course objectives are to teach students to move quickly, shoot effectively, and use cover. However, this program is done at more advanced skill levels. It includes tactical live fire clearing exercises, as well as night shooting. Exercises are done with both pistol and rifle, including transition from the long gun to your sidearm.

Shooter is advancing and using cover when available.
|
Distances in the course will vary from 4 to 35 yards, with an occasional shot up to 200+ yards. Students will learn how to use a position appropriate to the expected threat, from indoor usage to longer range. This course is biased towards the closer ranges that typically occur with civilian and police use of the carbine and pistol.

This course involves tighter time limits, and increased accuracy requirements when compared to Introduction courses.
After completion of the scenarios, a qualification course is fired with a score of 70% required in both handgun and carbine to qualify for a certificate.
Students in the Advanced Pistol / Carbine Course will need to bring a variety of gear and ammunition to complete the course. To assist you, a detailed list of equipment needs along with a list of local lodging and maps to the range are available.
