    Revere's Riders is putting on a 1-day Carbine course in Seelyville on Dec. 8th, 2018. We're sneaking it in before the end of the year!

    Here's your chance to take America's Rifle and get up off your belly, move around and do some tactical-style shooting. At this clinic we'll cover how to use the Carbine to shoot multiple targets at various distances. The overall goal of this course is for you to get comfortable using your AR up close AND being able to make aimed shots at longer ranges. We're putting a practical spin on our normal rifle training and leaning toward defensive use. It'll be fun for the whole family!

    There will be a qualifier at the end. Get your "WELL REGULATED" patch!

    Glad to hear you'll be joining us, Ron. Typically the weather that weekend is quite pleasant. We all fear the big storm but it's usually 55 and sunny. Perfect! And either way.... Charlie don't care bout no weather!

    Well, the two day carbine in December 2016 was in the 20's the first day, and pretty much rained on us most of the second day. But it was a GREAT experience, and I learned a lot about just dealing with the weather. I think dealing with weather is a part missed in a lot of training. You did teach us to "Embrace the Suck!"

    Outstanding!

    This clinic is shaping up nicely. If you're interested in going, make sure you sign up early to reserve your spot on the line. So far, we've sold out every Carbine clinic we've held in the Hoosier.

    Got the moving target up & running today. We're going to be doing a Tueller Drill as part of our qualifier.

    Sign up soon. This event is filling up!

    The good 'ol Tueller Drill :D

    At one Defensive Carbine event I attended, we ran it both with bolt closed on a chambered round and bolt locked open. Having to release the bolt to chamber a round made the drill SIGNIFICANTLY more difficult than it was already. We were also required to put two rounds on target as well further increasing the difficulty (not sure if two rounds is the standard for the Tueller Drill or not). As I recall, I managed to successfully complete the drill bolt closed and bolt open.

    AK-47 operators would be kinda screwed on the bolt locked open version...

    The official Tueller Drill is for a holstered handgun and, most of the time, folks skin it and fire a single shot. If they get tapped or tagged or whatever before their shot, they're dead. Mythbusters showed us it's pretty tough and, also almost always, someone with a knife at 21ft who is intent on killing you is probably going to get you, even if you get him too.

    Since this is America and we can use America's RIFLE, we're going to modify it a bit at this event. As you note, it's still not easy with the carbine whether there's one chambered or not. Also since this is America, Rule #2 (Double Tap) will be in effect.

    Not this bamf.
