CQB Shooting Package, August 19-20, 2023, Middle Tennessee

The Forge Tactical Small Team CQB Shooting Package Course is a 20 hour square range session focused on developing the live fire small team (2 man) skills needed in a close quarters environment.  Topics covered in this course focus on safely and effectively integrating with a second assaulter, rapid engagements between 3 and 50 meters with both primary and secondary weapon systems, fundamental weapon manipulation and combat marksmanship, carbine and handgun weapon integration (transitions and retention), rapid engagement from ready positions while in close proximately with your base-2, emergency engagements from positions of disadvantage, and shooting standards.  These standards are designed to be used long after the course to help students maintain and grow their skills, and to create a base for comparison over multiple courses.  Fundamental skills are evaluated and trained in depth with an emphasis on their application in the rapidly moving CQB environment.  A low light component is included where range conditions permit.  This is not a beginner’s course, so please come ready to work with a zero’d rifle.
