Combative Carbine Skills 3 introduces students to intermediate and advanced gun-handling skill sets and drills. Artificial stress and multi-skill/task performance at increased tempos force students to adapt, perform better and learn more efficient ways to operate their carbine or fighting rifle. Stress and tempo of class are increased as students are pushed to perform previously learned skills and tactics in conjunction with the introduction of new material. CCS 4 takes the home defender, Law Enforcement Officer or Military Servicemen to the next level ingraining previously learned skills and introducing essential concepts of movement off the line of force and to cover while engaging threats. Course content is heavily focused upon realistic movement under stress without a decrease in combative accuracy. Course topics include but are not limited to:
