I am posting this on behalf of Devin @ Signal 88. I took this class in May and had a great time and learned a lot. An AAR can be found here (4th post):
http://www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=8&f=44&t=383197&page=1&#39602102 Day COMBATIVE CARBINE/RIFLE FIGHTING COURSE - "Last one of 2009"!
14 -15 November 2009
Hosted by Signal 88 Security Group LLC and instructed by Immediate Action Combat Tactics (IACT)
Staff Instructor - Devin Crinklaw
Due to an overwhelming request from the civilian sector, we are conducting a Basic Rifle Fighting Course open to civilians but LEOs and Military have attended this very course and are welcome. This dynamic training will be conducted over a period of 2-days and will be held at our private range. This class is limited to a total of 12 students.
Traditionally this course is only open to Law Enforcement professionals; however Signal 88 Special Operations Services understands the need for Americans to be able to learn the proper protection and self preservation skills for their families' safety and security.
Our ?Civilian Defender? course is designed to familiarize rifle end-users with close range urban rifle fighting methods for defensive purposes. Emphasis will be placed on how to tactically manipulate the weapon and engage threats that were traditionally thought to be at handgun fighting distances. In a gunfight the rifle is ?better-than? an equalizer ? it is a Force Multiplier!
This "core skills" course will be conducted at ranges of 50-yards and extreme close quarter fighting distances.
Tuition $350.00
