Review: M4 Advanced Tactical Carbine Course - February 20th.
Atlanta Firearms Training conducted the first M4 Advanced Carbine Course of 2010 with seven students who brought a variety of AR-15 configurations. Our instructor, Chris Avery with two tours of special operations experience in Iraq, provided real world experience and advice to the day of training. Two hours of lecture on equipment set-up, accessories, marksmanship fundamentals. combat mindset, range safety, and an overview of the training activities the students would experience started the day. What followed was five hours of training in combat shooting techniques tailored to home defense and self-defense during civil unrest. At the end of the day Chris ran the students through a simple tactical course that enabled them to put the individual fighting skills to application in an integrated course of fire. Chris will conduct an Intro to the AR-15 course March 13th. If you have recently purchased an AR-15 and would like to take a familiarization course from an expert in the M4 / AR-15 platform see our description of our Intro to the AR-15 Course page. |

Basic Defensive Pistol: The NRA Basic Pistol course conveys the minimum skills to safely handle and shoot your pistol, however it does not teach advanced concepts of marksmanship, shooting on the move, shooting from cover, shooting in a dark home, reloading while moving, and other advanced pistol handling skills. For new concealed carry permit holders this course gives you the foundation to safely and effectively carry your pistol. This course by AFT will establish basic proficiency in these skills that can be practiced and honed by the student on their own time.
Introduction to Combat Pistol Skills and Games: Two organizations, the International Practical Shooting Confederation and the International Defensive Pistol Association schedule scenario-based competitions where the basics of combat pistol skills can be practiced and employed. These competitions required specific firearm handlling skill sets and high levels of marksmanship. Since these competitions are "action pistol" competitions requiring drawing from a holstered gun, rapid fire, target-to target transitions, shooting on the move, etc., a firm foundation in the related skills is essential for safely competing in these games. This course provides a safe introduction to the skills required in these competitions.
Introduction to the AR-15: This course is oriented to the new AR-15 owner. This course familiarizes the owner with the history of the AR-15, its component parts, maintenance and cleaning, and the accessories typically available for the rifle. This is a one day course divided up between classroom time and range time. You do not have to own an AR15 to attend this course.
M4 Advanced Tactical Carbine Block I: This advanced tactical carbine course is taught by former Special Operations Unit member Chris Avery, who spent two tours in Iraq, first as a Marine Force Recon Sniper during Desert Storm, and then with an Army Special Operations Unit during his 2006 rotation. This course builds on the Intro to the A15 course and conveys advanced tactical carbine skills geared toward self-defense and home defense issues taught by an instructor with extensive Close Quarter Combat experience. This course is an excellent applications course for the home owner looking to use the AR-15 as their primary home defense weapon and will also be of value to Police, SWAT team, and military personnel looking for a quality tune up in their carbine skills.
