Small Arms Combative S

Small Arms Combatives is a firearms training center built on the principle that safety comes from martial mindset, tactics, skills, and gear — not just marksmanship. Lead instructor Hunter Parks holds the U.S. Distinguished Rifleman badge (the highest individual marksmanship award in the country) and maintains NRA and North Carolina DOJ instructor certifications.

All courses run 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM and are offered as one-day or two-day formats:
