DESCRIPTION
Class Flow: MODERATE (students can expect full day of shooting and weapon manipulation from a static line).
Foundation Carbine is designed to stress the importance of proper weapon manipulation and shooting techniques. The goal of this MDFI Foundation class is to build a strong and efficient foundation regarding the proper use and manipulation of the Carbine as a defensive tool. Without a strong foundation, any additional training is wasted time. This class will prepare students for our “Advanced” level classes and is a mandatory prerequisite to move on with the MDFI curriculum.
This class is for students who understand the fundamentals of marksmanship, live by the four rules of responsible firearms handling, and are looking to learn to use the rifle/carbine as a defensive tool.

This was my first ever formal training class I have signed up for and I really did not know what to expect or come out of the class with. Needless to say I was beyond impressed with MDFI! Tim as well as all the other instructors were hands on and extremely knowledgeable. The class had an upbeat and focused atmosphere and everyone had a great time. I will 110% be back to train with MDFI and look forward to the other classes offered by them!
This was my first formal class and MDFI made it very enjoyable. It was a lomg hot day in the sun, but i hardly noticed since i was laughing and learning so much. Their methods of teaching is amazing and exactly how i would choose to learn. They were so knowledgeable with ZERO ego. Never once was i made to feel inferior or like i was dumb for not knowing something and all of their guidance in correcting my bad habits felt like it was coming from a place of love and respect. I seriously felt like i was just out shooting with my friends and learning lots of new fundamentals a d techniques. What a great group of guys. If you are thinking about taking one of their classes, do yourself a favor and just do it. You will not regret it!
I have logged well over 500 hrs of formal, instructional training with a myriad of instructors / schools. MDFI does it the best, hands down. The information and the way it's presented is fun, logical, and accurate. The cadre is respectful, and lighthearted while also taking things very seriously and demanding accountability of all students. I can't shower them with enough praise, nor recommend their courses to people strongly enough. Whether you're a beginner, or an advanced level shooter, you will absolutely benefit from attending an MDFI course. Great job, all.
Tim, Roman, & Derek are all top notch instructors. Picked up numerous good drills and tips to work on. Highly recommend this class and MDFI in general. Looking forward to taking more classes in the future.
Best long gun course I've ever taken. Excellent instruction from Tim, Roman, and Adam. Left the class with a clear roadmap for continuous improvement. A must for any shooter looking to build good habits from good fundamentals.
