Rifle Classes

For defensive proficiency at greater range, Defensive Concepts offers a variety of classes focused on long guns.

Classes can be completed with pistol caliber carbines, 22lr conversion kits, and 22lr rifles/carbines.

Feedback from a recent Carbine 3.0 attendee:

When I got home from class my rifle was oozing a mixture of dirt, mud, lube, unburnt powder, and carbine from where the upper and lower meet and around the safety selector. That was the best carbine class I have ever taken. You and Steve did awesome setting it up and putting it on. That second day is the hardest I have ran a rifle in a course.
