Close Quarters Combat
About this event
9:00 AM – 4:00 PM
This two-day/16-hour course has been developed to introduce trainees to the elements of competency of The Benjamin Guard curriculum. The course curriculum will include pistol and carbine weapons handling and marksmanship and training objectives will be focused on completing The Benjamin Guard Operator Standards.
Trainees will be taught correct ready positions for close-quarters engagements, weapon transitions including rifle to pistol, and recovering from pistol back to the rifle. Trainees will be taught advanced turning procedures to engage threats from various angles, target transitions, trigger, and sight management techniques to provide options based on proximity to threats, shooting while moving, and recoil management drills.
Trainees will be introduced to bilateral shooting skills and our methodology to identify and clear stoppages. Trainee’s will be assessed on their accuracy, speed, and ability to apply the weapons-handling procedures of The Benjamin Guard Combat Shooting System.
