Description
K&M’s two-phase training program offers a comprehensive experience for military, government, law enforcement, and private sector professionals by combining pistol and carbine instruction with our Tactical Long Range Precision Rifle course. This course is designed to build foundational skills and develop advanced techniques in both precision rifle and pistol/carbine platforms.
The training starts with firearms safety and quickly transitions to equipment setup, advanced marksmanship fundamentals, ballistics, wind reading, range estimation, alternate positions, moving targets, and engagements out to 1400 yards. Participants will fully utilize the 12-plus ranges at K&M, working in teams to identify and report target indicators, prioritize engagements, and clear firing positions. They will complete field sketches, range cards, and take part in FFP drills. Additional topics include self-spotting, shot corrections, field zeroing, PBZ for long-range engagements, and shooting through restricted openings. Culminating with extended-range moving targets, shooting from moving platforms, and night vision (IR and thermal) exercises.
The second phase of the training focuses on enhancing proficiency with carbine and pistol at close to intermediate ranges. Participants will engage in exercises using K&M’s multiple ranges, props, and obstacles, with drills emphasizing safe weapon handling, manipulation, and accuracy under dynamic conditions. The goal is to refine speed and accuracy with each platform while progressively improving individual and team lethality.
Students will engage static and moving targets at distances up to 600 yards, firing from various obstacles and transitioning between carbine and pistol in close-range scenarios. The course emphasizes safety, marksmanship fundamentals, and performance under pressure. Tactical scenarios, including CQB techniques and rapid target acquisition, help build proficiency at close, medium, and long ranges.
Participants will also engage in realistic tactical simulations, including low-light shooting environments using Night Observation Devices (NODs) or Night Vision Goggles (NVGs). By the end of the course, participants will have a comprehensive understanding of their capabilities, confidence in their equipment, and the skills needed for continued progression in tactical marksmanship and real-world applications.
