Advanced Firearms Patrol Carbine Instructor

The Patrol Rifle Instructor course is 40 hours in length.

Full Description

This course is designed for the Officer who already exhibits above average rifle shooting/manipulation skills and will give them the knowledge and techniques to better transfer those skills to other Officers.

This course is NOT an advanced course NOR is it a remedial rifle training course for Officers with poor rifle skills.  This course is a blend of classroom and range to give the participant updated information related to the rifle platform and instructing the same, while also giving them practical range time to further develop their skill in operation and teaching the patrol rifle.

This course will include the following topics:
• Troubleshooting carbines
• The use of optics and how to zero them
• Principle and context-based drills related to manipulations, marksmanship and combat shooting
• Coaching techniques to increase officers rifle shooting skills
• An understanding of external and terminal ballistics and the factors which affect the bullet’s  flight, and how to develop a departmental rifle program and qualification course.
