About this event
9:00 AM – 4:00 PM
Prepare to push your limits and sharpen your tactical skills with our Vehicle Close Quarters Battle (VCQB) course, specifically designed for civilian shooters who want to master defensive tactics in and around vehicles. This course immerses you in high-intensity scenarios where your vehicle becomes both cover and concealment. You’ll learn how to engage threats from every angle—inside, around, over, and under vehicles—while adapting to high-stress, real-world situations that demand quick decisions and decisive actions.
With live demonstrations and force-on-force drills, you’ll experience firsthand how ballistics behave against glass, metal, and other vehicle materials. You’ll also practice advanced shooting techniques, weapon manipulation in tight spaces, and how to effectively assess threats while moving in and around vehicles. This course emphasizes the skills necessary to protect yourself and others during a vehicle-based encounter. Are you ready to take your tactical training to the next level?
