COURSE DESCRIPTION​

The 3-Day Pistol & Carbine Course is an intensive, performance-driven program designed to enhance marksmanship, weapons handling, and tactical decision-making skills. This course is built on battle-proven methodologies developed from over 20 years of elite military and law enforcement instruction, ensuring students receive the most effective, real-world applicable training.

Course Overview

On Day 1, students will develop pistol mastery, refining their draw speed, target acquisition, recoil management, and shooting efficiency. This training focuses on economy of motion, allowing students to execute every action with precision and speed. The drills and techniques taught will instill instinctive combat behaviors critical in high-stress, close-quarters engagements.

On Day 2, students will integrate pistol and carbine operations, learning to present the carbine from high and low ready, transition seamlessly between weapon systems, perform combat reloading procedures, recoil management, trigger management, and sight management drills while maintaining control in high-risk scenarios. This phase includes shooting while moving, immediate action drills, advanced threat engagement techniques, and communication under fire, ensuring that students are prepared for fluid, rapidly evolving situations.

On Day 3, students will advance to dynamic engagement techniques and extended-range shooting, training to engage threats at distances from 25 to 100 yards. Instruction includes positional and barricaded shooting, bilateral shooting, fire-and-maneuver principles, and stress-based dynamic exercises, all designed to improve survivability and adaptability in real-world operations.

Recently got my feet wet in long range shooting on a class with a knifemaker that pulled me in. Got some hits at 975 and 1100 yards and was absolutely smitten with the whole process! Starting the research process to zero in on where I want to start with acquiring my own long range build and start making a habit out of reaching out to distance as much as I can with like minded individuals.

So much to learn.

New Modular Reloading Powder Funnel Kit - $45 + Shipping​

Static resistant and designed with powder flow in mind, our Powder Funnel was very much a labor of love and we are excited to finally get it in your hands. The funnel inserts are a unique twist lock and were made with tapered engagement based on case head size and shoulder instead of caliber. This gives you more versatility with fewer inserts, and a solid resting point without causing the funnel to bind when you move from case to case.

In addition everything twist locks in the tray too, so you won‘t lose them and you can even hang the set up above your bench when not in use.

Guys,

Lately, on average of about 1 per day, I have seen quite a few posts (mostly from newbies) regarding questions about what ring height should be used. They usually request pics for comparison. For all new guys, there is a systematic way of calculating ring height that doesn't require more than a simple elementary school ruler. You measure 3 things:
1. the height of the front of your base/rail from the barrel
2. the height of your rings from the top of the rail to centerline
3. the outside diameter of the bell of the scope (not the size of the objective lens)

Here is the equation:

[rail height + ring height] - [bell diameter x 0.5]

If the value is positive, then your bell will clear the barrel. Ideally, you want that bell to be about 1/4" or less over the barrel. This will give you a tight cheek weld. Be sure to account for Butler Creek caps if you intend on using them.

If you are using a 40mm objective, then you can use the lowest rings and bases available, as the bell will certainly clear the barrel with no problem. i.e. don't worry if the bell ends up being higher than 1/4" over the barrel.

Hope this helps.

Just another note. If you are using a scope base and/or mount/rings that have built in elevation, that may have to be accounted for in the case of very small clearance. To calculate this, we need to know the amount of elevation built into the mount/rings and/ or base, and the length from the end of the scope base to the end of the scope bell. Convert MOA into degrees, and then the equation is:

Tan (theta) x length

For example, if you are using a 20 MOA base, and the distance from the edge of the scope base to the end of the bell is 5". 20 MOA = 0.333 degrees, so:

Tan 0.333 x 5 = 0.029"

This means that you need an extra 0.029" of clearance in addition to the calculation above

Will be shooting a bolt gun in .308 and a MSR 6.5 CM
My question is does a suppressor effect accuracy? In other words
will my groups get better or worse or stay the same as shooting with or without one.
Suppressor will be a 7.62SD AAC Fire arms shouldnt matter as just wondering if have a negative
effect on the groups. Thx

Hey all, been awhile since I've posted here and hoping to get the Hide's advice on an upper build I am looking at pursuing. I currently have a 16" 223 Wylde build that is my do all rifle based on a Seekins lower with LMT SOPMOD stock, Spikes T2 buffer, Tubbs flat wire spring, and Geissele SSA-E trigger. I'm looking to build two additional uppers, one in a 300blk for CQB work, and a 6mm offering as a DMR type platform to reach out to the 1000m territory and possibly use in PRS competition.

For the DMR build precision and reliability are my top priority, which has me in the pickle over 6mm ARC vs 6mm Max. I've read a lot about both cartridges here and elsewhere, and while 6mm ARC has more history and development, I'm concerned about some of the things I've read about reliability. Magazine feeding (although it sounds like that's been getting better with newer designs) and bolt lug/extractor failures. I've also read about the 6 ARC running excessively dirty particularly when suppressed, which I am planning on running a suppressor for this build (probably a flow through design that would hopefully mitigate some of dirtiness). That being said, 6 ARC sounds like it handles the heavier projectiles better that would be suited for long range work (I'm thinking about 20-22" barrel for what it's worth).

Now onto 6mm Max, I like the idea that on paper it sounds more reliable using a standard 223/5.56 bolt face. But I know it still requires proprietary magazines, and there's been very little development/literature out on the cartridge. I know it also won't handle some of the larger projectiles over 105 grain.

So should I try the new kid on the block that might fizzle out completely (6mm Max), or go for the more tested but possibly more finicky 6 ARC? I do reload so factory ammo availability isn't as much of a concern for me. I appreciate any guidance you guys have!

I bought a Tikka A1 308 from my LGS awhile back. Have taken it to the range a couple of times and it functions fine but the groups were a bit big - Well over 1MOA, but didn't think too much about it since I was shooting crappy ammo

Took it over to a buddies after shooting last weekend to work on it. While there he ran his bore scope down the barrel - Can't say I really know what I am looking at but it doesn't look good - Yuck!

Is that pitting? Rust?

How would you suggest I proceed with this barrel? Thoughts?

Hello Ckye users!

I've been making the adaptor feet for double pulls to allow the use of Atlas rubber feet, it has been a surprisingly popular product. But despite of what appears of a simple design, it's not too straightforward to make (if I have a bar feed, live tooling, Y-axis lathe, that'd be a different story), and it also bothers me that you still need to purchase the Atlas rubber feet separately.

So this holiday season I took some time to update the design, and now I'm happy to offer a direct rubber feet replacement for both of the double and triple pull Ckye bipod.

I will continue making the adaptors for a while, but think the rubber feet will work the best for most people at a lower overall cost. Both can be purchased here: https://dotechne.com/feet-and-reducing-sleeve-for-mdt-ckye-pod-double-triple-pull-bipod/
