Master Your Carbine: Build Confidence, Skill, and Accuracy With Your Chosen Carbine Platform

This Course Is Suitable For Beginner To Advanced Shooters

Even if you have just received your carbine, this course is for you.

Understand that during the first module, we will be laying a foundation for everyone. This is done for range safety’s sake. Prepare to cover the basics again in module 1.

Irrespective of your previous training level, you HAVE to start at Module 1, no exceptions.

Are you ready to take your shooting skills to the next level?

Carbines are used for various applications, from sports shooting to hunting and security work. Through this course, we aim to give you a better understanding of shooting the carbine platform and the technicalities behind these platforms.

This isn’t just a course—it’s a transformational experience that will turn you into a competent and confident carbine operator.

Our Carbine Course runs over 4 consecutive modules. You have to complete the one before moving on to the next. This ensures enough time is spent on the fundamentals before moving on to the next level. Below is a layout of what can be learnt from this course.

Instructor: Gerhard

“I started shooting rifles on my uncle’s farm in the Free State from the age of 10.  From there, my interest in firearms and love for hunting & the outdoors just grew. The carbine platform always piqued my interest. Ever since I became part of the Fortis Farm Safety Team, I have been able to train and apply carbine, tactical and bush skills. Being out in the field also showed me that these skills have to be polished on a continuous and regular basis.”

Gerhard’s journey with the carbine began long before he became an instructor—what started as a deep fascination with the platform quickly grew into years of training, practice, and service on the Fortis farm safety teams. His experience in real-world rural security shaped his ability to handle the carbine with precision and purpose under pressure. Today, Gerhard leads our Carbine courses and instructs on the Lone Operator program, where his knowledge of team tactics and distance shooting comes to life. Whether teaching on the range, training in the field, or standing watch with the Fortis teams, Gerhard continues to live out his passion for the carbine as both a tool of skill and protection.
