Stone Cobra Tactical Basic & Intermediate Carbine Courses

This past weekend I decided to further develop my rifle and pistol skills. Last month I signed up for a weekend course from Stone Cobra Tactical. Check out their website: Stone Cobra Tactical. Anyways, two words can sum it up........FUCKING AWESOME!!!!!!! These guys are all ex-military / private sector security / current law enforcement and they know their shit. I went there with a friend, Rich and also met his buddy, Kingsley.

Basic Carbine started off with a safety brief and how to disassemble, clean, and reassemble your rifle. This was awesome b/c Rich has never disassembled his rifle before. We spent a good 2 hours on it. Then we zero-ed our rifles. We ended the day shooting from different positions behind barricades.

Here is a pic of me talking to an instructor about zeroing my rifle.

Rich and his buddy couldn't make it to the 2nd day, so I was all by my lonesome. But I still had a blast. We started off Intermediate Carbine with transitions to our secondary weapon. We then got into movement drills (forward/backward, lateral, and diagonal). We shot from supine and then the urban prone position. We also did group and singles competition.....which I did pretty well in. Had a malfunction with my grip and safety....but they helped me fix the problem and I was G2G.

Here are a couple of pics of me doing movement drills.


All I can say is I think I'm hooked!!!! Can't wait till I can do Intermediate Carbine 2.5.
