Looking to improve your carbine skills with hands-on experience in a rural setting? Our Rural Carbine Course is designed to elevate your capabilities beyond the range, focusing on techniques and tactics suited for open and rugged environments. This course is perfect for carbine shooters looking to gain proficiency with carbines in dynamic, real-world conditions.
To join this course, you must have completed our Stand-Alone Carbine course (see the link).
Participants need a solid understanding of carbine fundamentals — including shooting positions, magazine changes, and clearing stoppages.
If you’re new to shooting, we recommend starting with our Carbine Course instead.
We use the following ranges for our training. Note: We do not have offices on these ranges. If you want to contact us, please do so via email – enquiries@fortisgroup.co.za
There are no other venues, only these. Because ranges are always situated outside of town, there is some drive (distance) involved.
