4-5hrs of instruction
In this course, you will learn the Tactics and Techniques that Special Operations teams use to shoot targets from a helicopter. We will go over various topics that will prepare you for helicopter work, then we will immediately get on the range and do a fundamentals review/warmup before we start learning how to implement different types of leads in some shooting drills. Then we will get in the helicopter and work on manipulating the carbine in the cabin space before we take to the skies and start smashing some steel targets from our Airborne Platform. Experiences from real-world Combat Airborne Assaults will be used to shape this course and will give you the Operator experience.
