Fundamental Carbine Skills (FCS)

Course Overview

With the increase in Covid19 related gun purchases, PFC will continue to conduct training classes to promote firearm education and safety. The Pioneer Annex Range Complex is a 76+ acre outdoor facility that allows us to take advantage of the open environment and follow federal guidelines while conducting training. 

Fundamental Carbine Skills is a 5hr introductory course designed to provide students with safe, efficient, and effective defensive carbine skills. Students will receive a mixture of lecture, practical, and live-fire instruction aimed at familiarizing them with their carbine, how it works, and how to achieve accurate first-round hits on target consistently. This class is for beginners looking to learn new skills or shooters looking to fine-tune previously learned skills. Fundamental Carbine Skills is an excellent prep-course for any of the PFC Progressive Carbine Series of courses.
