Also, we will exercise the proper trigger control depending on application.

  North Carolina Service Pistol Championship, Service Revolver Championship, and 22 Rimfire Championship.   There will be three 900 aggregate matches run simultaneously using any CMP legal service pistol, CMP legal Service Revolver, or CMP legal 22 Rimfire EIC pistol.    You may shoot using either a service pistol, service revolver, or a 22, but you must choose only one.   This gives a good opportunity to shoot a 900 aggregate match using the gun of your choice to prepare for the EIC relays to be held immediately following.   Awards will be given in all three matches.

     Service Pistol EIC, 22 Rimfire EIC,  (NRA) Distinguished Revolver, and Service Revolver EIC relays will be held after the match.   The Service Revolver EIC will ONLY be held on Saturday, but the other distinguished relays will be combined with relays fired after the NC State Championship match on Sunday.   You may fire in these matches either day, but NOT on both days.

  NOTE:  CMP rules for 2023 now allow "any safe ammunition" to be used in all pistol matches.  Jacketed ammo is no longer required for service pistol.  For more info and other changes read the rules at:

  https://thecmp.org/competitions/cmp-competitions-rulebooks/

  There will NOT be any sight in practice session before the match.
  

     ** Starts at 12:30 pm**   We have a lot to do so don't be late.

  Practical Defensive Carbine, Level 2

  

  • This class teaches practical applications for those who want to become more familiar with their carbine weapon system.  

  • PURPOSE: Provide the student with foundational knowledge on which to build their skills in the art of self-defense with a carbine. This is an intermediate-level course that builds upon the skill learned in the Level 1 course, and it is not a “stand and shoot” course – this is a very active class and requires the ability to shoot from all positions learned in Level 1 as well as shooting while moving.  Successful completion of the Practical Defensive Carbine Level 1 or prior approval of the instructor is required for this class.

  • Topics: 

  • 1. Safety Briefing

    2. Range Commands 

    3. Review of your Weapon System and basic marksmanship

    4. Dry-fire and Live-fire drills, including 

       1. Understanding “battlefield zero” and use of optics 

       2. Ammunition Management - tactical and emergency reloads

       3. Malfunction Clearing

       4. Strong- and Weak-Side shooting (rifle and pistol)

       5. Shooting on the move

       6. Use of Cover and Concealment

       7. Transition from Primary to Secondary weapon

       8. Team movement

    5. Debrief/After-Action Discussion

  • REQUIREMENTS:

  1. An open mind, willingness to take instruction and the ability to challenge pre-conceived notions we’ve all learned from YouTube instructors and Hollywood.  This course teaches only practical, real-world techniques.

  2. Sturdy, close-toed shoes (no flip-flops or sandals).  Running shoes/sneakers are acceptable, but over-the ankle boots are recommended due the uneven ground.

  3. A functional carbine rifle, typically of the AR-15, AK-47 or comparable pistol-caliber carbine (such as a CZ Scorpion) and a functional compact or duty-sized pistol.  This class is based upon the AR-15 rifle platform, but techniques can be adapted to other weapons systems.

  4. A sturdy sling fitted to your rifle and a strong-side, outside the waistband holster for your pistol.  Belt-mounted magazine holders for both pistol and rifle magazines are required, and a battle-belt or chest rig is highly recommended.  This is not a “concealed” weapon course.

  5. At least four hundred (400) rounds (rifle) and two hundred (200) rounds (pistol) of factory-loaded, brass-cased and copper-jacketed ammunition.  No reloaded ammunition or steel-core (armor piercing) rounds are permitted (we will be shooting steel targets).  Steel-cased ammunition is not recommended for the AR-15 platform, as it has a tendency to jam if your rifle is not clean.  Please double-check your ammunition if you are using the AK-47 platform – the vast majority of 7.62x39mm ammo is steel core (including the “bi-metal” kind) and cannot be used on steel targets.

  6. Red-dot and magnified optics are permitted (and in fact encouraged).  All rifle optics are recommended to be sighted in at twenty-five (25) yards and pistol optics are recommended to be sighted in at ten (10) yards prior to class.  If you have questions about how to properly sight-in your optic, contact the instructor prior to class.  Back-up iron sights are recommended, but not required.

     1. If you have battery-powered optics, please bring extra batteries.  I haven’t had a class yet where somebody’s batteries didn’t fail.

  7. Weather conditions are often rapidly changing in North Carolina, so please dress appropriately and in layers.  Class is held rain or shine, as you cannot pick the weather for your gunfight.  Please be aware that red-dot optics are rendered mostly useless when they are wet, so back-up irons are strongly recommended if you have a red-dot.

  8. A packed lunch is recommended – food options are limited in the DPRC area and lunch will be held to a strict 1-hour time limit.

  9. Water, lots of it.  Hydration is important, as this will be an active class.

  The Sheepdog Response Protector 1 course will be taught over three days:

  How many times in the last month have you looked down at your phone or checked the news only to see another robbery, kidnapping, or shooting?

  We face threats of violence every day, ranging from large-scale terrorism to one-on-one assaults. Most people are unprepared, unequipped, and untrained to respond effectively.
  
  Most people sign up for martial arts or weapons training expecting to learn realistic self-defense, and few get it.
  
  That’s why we’ve developed the Protector 1 curriculum to address the skills you need to successfully respond to these threats.
  
  Are you prepared to save your life … and the lives of others?

• Practical Concealed Carry Level 2 (Rugh)

  •  
    9:00 AM - 5:00 PM
  • Location
    Range 1
  • Spaces left

  This class teaches additional practical applications for those who carry concealed handguns.  It's a great class for those with new Concealed Carry handgun permits but limited follow-up training.  It is NOT the class which qualifies you to obtain a NC Concealed Carry permit.

  This is a Level 2 class.  Successful completion of Practical Concealed Carry Level 1 or advance approval of the instructor is required to attend this class.

  PURPOSE: Provide the student with additional knowledge on which to build their skills in the art of self-defense with a handgun. Students will leave this course with an intermediate tool kit of drills and practical knowledge, to include weak hand shooting, unconventional shooting positions and shooting on the move.

  • Topics: 
    

  1. Safety Briefing
  2. Range Commands
  3. Class Philosophy - Mindset, Situational Awareness, training with purpose, efficiency. 
  4. Review of weapons system choices. 
  5. Fundamentals of Marksmanship - Stance, Grip, Sight Picture, Trigger Control, Recoil Management, Running the Slide, Press-Check
  6. Drawing from holster and safe re-holstering
  7. Dry-fire and Live-fire drills, including  
     1. Ammunition Management - tactical and emergency reloads. 
     2. Recoil Management
     3.  Malfunction Clearing
     4. Weak hand shooting
     5. Multiple target engagement
     6. Unconventional shooting positions
     7. Use of cover and concealment
     8. Shooting on the move
  8. Debrief/After-Action Discussion

  • REQUIREMENTS:

  1. An open mind, willingness to take instruction and the ability to challenge pre-conceived notions we’ve all learned from YouTube instructors and Hollywood.  This course teaches only practical, real-world techniques.
  2. A functional, compact or duty-sized semi-automatic handgun with at least three (3) magazines (Glock 19 or larger).  Subcompact (Glock 26, SIG P938) handguns or revolvers are permitted, but discouraged, as you will spend likely more time loading magazines than shooting. If shooting a subcompact, at least six (6) magazines are recommended.
  3. A strong-side holster with a sturdy belt and multiple-magazine carrier.  Appendix carry, small of back, cross-draw, purses, belly bands and shoulder holsters will not be permitted in this class; however, all these forms of carry will be discussed.  It is more efficient and safer to teach the class with everyone using the same gear.  For safety reasons, no holsters with active retention (SERPA holsters) will be permitted.  A molded Kydex holster manufactured specifically for your model of firearm is highly recommended, but leather holsters are also acceptable.  If you are in doubt, please contact the instructor prior to class.
  4. At least four hundred (400) rounds of factory-loaded, copper-jacketed ammunition.  No reloaded ammunition or steel-core (armor piercing) rounds are permitted.
  5. Red-dot optics are permitted (and in fact encouraged).  Red dot sights should be sighted in at ten (10) yards prior to class.  If you have questions about how to properly sight-in your optic, contact the instructor prior to class.
  6. Weather conditions are often rapidly changing in North Carolina, so please dress appropriately and in layers.  Class is held rain or shine, as you cannot pick the weather for your gunfight.  Closed-toe shoes are required. 
  7. A packed lunch is recommended – food options are limited in the DPRC area and lunch will be held to a strict 1-hour time limit.
  8. Water, lots of it.  Hydration is important, as this will be an active class.

  • Location
    Range 1
  • Spaces left

  This class teaches practical applications for those who want to become more familiar with their carbine weapon system.

  PURPOSE: Provide the student with foundational knowledge on which to build their skills in the art of self-defense with a carbine. Students will leave this course as educated beginners with a tool kit of drills and practical knowledge on which to practice and build up their proficiency.
  

  TOPICS: 

  1. Safety Briefing
  2. Range Commands
  3. Class Philosophy - Mindset, Situational Awareness, training with purpose, efficiency. 
  4. Understanding your Weapon System
  5. Use and selection of slings
  6. Fundamentals of Marksmanship - Stance, Grip, Sight Picture, Trigger Control, Recoil Management, Running the Slide, Press-Check
  7. Dry-fire and Live-fire drills, including 
     1.  Understanding “battlefield zero” and use of optics 
     2.   Ammunition Management - tactical and emergency reloads. 
     3.  Recoil Management
     4.  Malfunction Clearing
  8. Debrief/After-Action Discussion

  REQUIREMENTS:

  1. An open mind, willingness to take instruction and the ability to challenge pre-conceived notions we’ve all learned from YouTube instructors and Hollywood.  This course teaches only practical, real-world techniques.
  2. A functional carbine rifle, typically of the AR-15, AK-47 or comparable pistol-caliber carbine (such as a CZ Scorpion).  This class is based upon the AR-15 platform, but techniques can be adapted to other weapons systems.
  3. A sturdy sling fitted to your rifle.  Single point, 2-point and 3-point slings are acceptable, but a 2-point sling is preferred and will be used as the teaching model for the class.  A “Vickers” style 2-point sling is the preferred sling for this class.
  4. At least four hundred (400) rounds of factory-loaded, brass-cased and copper-jacketed ammunition.  No reloaded ammunition or steel-core (armor piercing) rounds are permitted (we will be shooting steel targets).  Steel-cased ammunition is not recommended for the AR-15 platform, as it has a tendency to jam if your rifle is not clean.  Please double-check your ammunition if you are using the AK-47 platform – the vast majority of 7.62x39mm ammo is steel core (including the “bi-metal” kind) and cannot be used on steel targets.
  5. Red-dot and magnified optics are permitted (and in fact encouraged).  All optics should be sighted in at twenty-five (25) yards prior to class.  If you have questions about how to properly sight-in your optic, contact the instructor prior to class.  Back-up iron sights are recommended, but not required.
  6. Weather conditions are often rapidly changing in North Carolina, so please dress appropriately and in layers.  Class is held rain or shine, as you cannot pick the weather for your gunfight.  Please be aware that red-dot optics are rendered mostly useless when they are wet, so back-up irons are strongly recommended if you have a red-dot.
  7. A packed lunch is recommended – food options are limited in the DPRC area and lunch will be held to a strict 1-hour time limit.
  8. Water, lots of it.  Hydration is important, as this will be an active class.
