The FAST OC Basic Carbine Course is for following persons:

·        Persons who have limited to no experience with rifles

·        Persons who are looking to have a remedial review of rifle safety, handgun operation, and marksmanship

·        Persons who have been ordered by a court of law to attend a firearms safety course

·        Persons who have taken a shorter orientation course but are looking for a more comprehensive understanding of rifles

The basic rifle course will cover several different types of rifles, including bolt action, lever action, and semi-automatic. The most common motivation for clients to sign up for this course has centered around the AR-15 patterned rifles, and the AK patterned rifles, which in this course we cover in depth.

The following topics are covered during this course:

·        Rifle Safety / Safety Rules

·        Rifle Nomenclature

·        Ammunition Function / Types

·        Marksmanship

·        Legal aspects of rifle ownership / transportation / use

·        Cleaning / Maintenance

Students are not required to bring anything with them to this course as we provide firearms, ammunition, eye and ear protection. Students are welcome to bring their own snacks and drinks to suit their needs, but FAST OC does offer coffee, waters and snacks at our facility.

For students who have already purchased a firearm, we can provide instruction on the operation of your rifle as well as instruction and coaching on your firearm during the range time. Students are encouraged to bring their own ammunition for their firearm as an alternative as our ammunition may not always cycle newer guns.
