Carbine Training
Run your rifle the way it is actually used — from barricades, around vehicles, and on the move — on a private 400-acre range near St. George and Cedar City. Small classes, certified instructors.
// Our approach
A carbine is a moving skill. Train it moving.
Most carbine “training” is standing at a bench putting holes in paper. That is not how a defensive carbine is used. Here you will confirm zero, drill the fundamentals until they are automatic, then work positional shooting, transitions to pistol, reloads, and malfunction clearing — under pressure and on the move.
Our 400 acres let you shoot from barricades, around vehicles, and past tank traps, so the skills transfer to the real world instead of dying at the firing line.
// Who teaches it
Instructors who ran rifles for a living.
Your coaches come from Naval Special Warfare, the Marine Corps infantry, and law enforcement, with instructor and Chief Range Safety Officer certifications across carbine and precision rifle. They teach practical, real-world application over theory — and keep everything safe with small class sizes.
Pair carbine with defensive pistol for weapon transitions, step up to precision rifle, or get a membership for the reps. Meet the team on Our Team.

Carbine FAQ.
Do I need carbine experience to start?
No. Carbine training starts with safe handling, zeroing, and fundamentals, then builds to positional shooting, transitions, and defensive drills. Instructors scale the day to the group.
What rifle should I bring?
A reliable AR-pattern or similar carbine, a sling, magazines, and ammunition. If you are not sure your setup is right, ask when you book — we help you sort zero, optics, and gear.
Can younger shooters take carbine?
Most carbine training is open to ages 12 and up with a parent, so families can train together under close supervision. We confirm specifics at registration.
What makes training here different?
Space. On 400 acres you shoot from barricades, around vehicles and tank traps, and on the move — the tactical applications a lane at a public range physically cannot offer.
How big are the classes?
Small — max 12 — so coaching stays individual. Carbine runs on the range at FOB Gunslinger near Cedar City.
