Course Description:

So far you have practiced the procedures from the CQB course with training weapons and marking ammunition. At CQB Live Fire you will repeat them with live weapons, from pairs all the way up to a team.

CQB Live Fire is a one-day shooting and tactics course where you use live weapons in confined and built-up spaces. We review the basic tactical procedures from the CQB course, and then you will work on moving down a hallway, slicing the pie on doorways and room entries, first in pairs, then as a team. At the end you will clear a complete complex of rooms, hallways and a house.

When working as a team with live ammunition, everything depends on the discipline of every participant, so we put a strong emphasis on communication and safe weapon handling. We never have more than 8 students per instructor, so everyone gets real attention and we go over every entry with you. You can rent the weapons as a complete package for your chosen date.

Choose a date in the calendar below.

Who Is This Course For:

For shooters who have mastered the CQB fundamentals and safe handling of both pistol and rifle. Dynamic Pistol 1 to 3, Dynamic Rifle 1 and 2 and CQB are required, because live-fire teamwork is not something you can start from scratch.

What You Will Learn:

After the course you have reviewed the basic CQB procedures and transferred them to working with live weapons. You can safely move down a hallway, slice the pie on a doorway and enter a room both in pairs and as a team. And you have cleared a complete complex of rooms, hallways and a house with live ammunition.

Contents:

Review of the basic tactical procedures covered in our basic CQB tactical course, hallway movement, slicing the pie on doorways, room entries in pairs and as a team, clearing a complete complex of rooms, hallways and a house.

Required Equipment:

Comfortable civilian or tactical clothing and solid outdoor or sports shoes (both suited to the current weather and outdoor temperatures), a belt, a high-quality and safe hard holster worn on the strong side and covering the trigger guard (preferably kydex) and spare magazine pouches for both the handgun and the long gun, or a plate carrier or full ballistic protection including a helmet, shooting glasses, hearing protection (earmuffs, earplugs, etc.) and knee pads. Above all, come to the course in clothing and gear that match your everyday carry or work as closely as possible.

If you intend to shoot ammunition other than the common standard 9 mm Luger, .223 Rem, 7.62×39 or .45 ACP on this course, please also bring 5 dummy rounds for dry practice and weapon handling.

Nylon or similar soft holsters, whether inside or outside the waistband, as well as shoulder holsters, are very dangerous for the user both in training and in real-life carry. Please avoid wearing them on the course and in real life. We can rent you high-quality kydex holsters by RH Holsters for Glock 17/19/26/43, Walther PDP/PPQ/PPS/Creed, H&K SFP9 and S&W MP9 pistols, together with a magazine pouch, for a small fee. Just click on the course date of your choice and order the holster you need in the section below the weapon selection. Appendix carry holsters, worn at the front of the waistband, are allowed provided they meet the definition of a high-quality and safe hard holster, preferably kydex, worn on the strong side and covering the trigger guard.

Weapon:

Semi-automatic pistol with two magazines, semi-automatic rifle with two magazines and at least 200 rounds for each weapon. For subcompact pistols (for example G43/42) we recommend at least 3 magazines.

If you do not own one or both guns or would like to try a different one, we can provide a pistol or rifle with holsters, ammunition and other accessories for your chosen course date. Just click on the course date and you will see a full list of weapons available for that date. In the first section you will find complete packages, which always include a pistol or rifle with two magazines, kydex pistol and magazine holsters, eye and ear protection and the number of rounds needed for the course. If you bring your own factory ammunition, you can choose to rent the gun only. The full list of rental guns, along with the option to order ammunition, holsters or protective equipment separately, can be found in the sections below.

Firearms and the Law:

You do not need a firearms license, background check or criminal record extract to attend this course. Our instructor will hand you the weapon and you will train with it under his constant supervision. Czech law sets no fixed minimum age, but a minor participant must be reasonably mature, both mentally and physically. We do not recommend registering children under 15 for a course this intensive.

There is no restriction on the barrel length of semi-automatic rifles, and high-capacity magazines are allowed. Suppressors and weapon-mounted lasers and lights are legal in the Czech Republic.

If you hold a European Firearms Pass (EFP) with your firearm listed in it, you may temporarily bring it to the Czech Republic and use it for training. Under Czech law it is enough to prove the purpose of your visit, for example with your course booking or another document confirming the reason for your trip. An official invitation is not required by law. The EFP also covers carrying an amount of ammunition that matches the purpose of the trip, for example for a competition or training. Please note that transit countries or your airline may apply their own limits or requirements. If you plan to travel through several countries or by air, contact us and we will help you prepare any documents you may need, such as an invitation.

Timing:

Class starts at 9:00 am. Please arrive at the range no later than 8:30–8:45 am. The course usually ends around 6:00 pm, with a 30-minute lunch break during the day.

Venue:

We run our courses at various locations across the Czech Republic. You will find the exact venue for each date in the calendar, just click on the date. For multi-day courses that use more than one location, all venues are listed there.

Please check the venue carefully before booking. The same course often runs at different locations on different dates. Every now and then a student books a date expecting it to be at our home base, the Oleško shooting range, only to find out on the day that the course is taking place in Moravia, some 300 km away. To avoid this, always click on the date before booking and check where that particular date takes place.

Language:

Czech with English translation available.

Accommodation and Food:

Accommodation is not included in the course fee, each participant arranges and pays for it themselves. There is a 30-minute lunch break, so bring food that doesn't need cooking or ordering, such as an Adventure Menu type ration, an MRE or food from home, and enough to drink for the whole day.

Where to Go Next:

Together with CQB Scenarios, CQB Live Fire is one of the prerequisites for CQB NIGHT, which adds a handheld tactical flashlight, weapon-mounted lights, a light on a ballistic shield and night vision devices to your procedures inside buildings. At CQB Scenarios you will test the procedures in many scenarios with FX Simunition weapons and role players. Shooting in pairs up to teams of four and maneuvering as a team in open areas and behind cover is covered at Team Work, which also requires Dynamic Rifle 3, and working with a flashlight and pistol in dim light and darkness at Low Light.
