This course starts with basics, then includes focus on practical and tactical operation of the Steyr AUG.

We start with the AUG Marksman material on day one and progress through close quarters, barricade, and alternate position shooting on day 2. Students gain malfunction practice, experience moving targets, steel and reactive targets, and other fun drills. We have a good time getting a little dirty and getting more work out of the AUG. We will also utilize the KTS Kongsberg System on the 100, 200, 300, 600 yard ranges and the unknown distance steel range at Talladega CMP.

Optics with magnification capability and/or BDC suggested. Rental guns are available. Course includes lunch, class t-shirt, and other perks. Armorer course (scroll down) is discounted for Operator students, making a great 3-day option.

The centerpiece of the park is a versatile high-power rifle range with 54 covered firing points and all-weather Kongsberg Target Systems electronically-scored targetry at 200, 300, and 600 yards. The versatile target faces, made of a rubberized material, have the ability to be reused thousands of times – meaning no need to paste new faces between relays in the pits.

The park also features a 100-yard rifle range with the same technology. Monitors on each firing point display shots on the firing line. There is no pit duty or walking to targets to view shots. A 25 & 50-yard pistol range with turning targets and an unknown distance rifle range is also available to visitors.

The Experience

Additional Courses

The Steyr AUG allows for conversion from rifle calibers to 9mm and has been deployed as a PCC (Pistol Caliber Carbine) or SMG (Sub-machine gun) by law enforcement all over the world.  This class is designed to specifically train on the AUG as a 9mm carbine and explore other PCC/SMG/PDW platforms and their application from close quarters out to 200 yards.  This class provides classroom, dry fire, and live-fire training to enlighten shooters who have attended AUG Operator or AUG Marksman,  but want more time on the 9mm AUG or to learn more about other pistol caliber platforms. Please email me about the approved PCC platforms for the class.

Handgun optics, weapon lights, and lasers can be accuracy enhancers and lifesaving accessories, but only if you understand how and when to use them safely and correctly. They can bridge the gap from iron sights to “target focused aiming.” This class will utilize classroom and live fire to help understand the concepts for effective use of pistol optics, lights and lasers on a handgun. Handguns can be from any manufacturer. Demo handguns will be available in class to try various optics and lasers.
