As part of July 4 Utah Polite Society event, we plan
to have two carbine exercises. This is in addition to
the four pistol exercises we usually have.
If you plan to shoot the carbine exercises, bring your
carbine and 60 rounds of carbine ammunition. Any
carbine or rifle you may have occasion to use for
personal defense is appropriate. This includes tactical
carbines, .22s,bolt-action hunting rifles, lever guns
or other rifles/carbines that may be employed for
personal defense. Slings are strongly recommended but
not required.
If you have a support system for your carbine (magazine
pouch, dump pouch,etc.) bring it and test it out during
the carbine exercises. If you don't have a support system,
we'll have a few pieces of loaner equipment available.
We have use of both the 50 and 25-yard range bays that day,
so we'll be running the rifle exercises concurrent with
the pistol exercises. Thisshould let us finish up a little
earlier in the day.
The two exercises we have planned will require about 60 rounds
of ammunition. If you plan to shoot additional exercises,
bring additional ammo.
If time permits, we'll open the range for additional informal
carbine exercises after the two exercises we have planned
are completed.
The first handgun exercise is a skills drill that focuses
on shooting and performing reloads while moving. All
actions are taken while moving over a predefined course.
Movement will be continuous, and all actions are to be
performed while on the move.
The second handgun exercise is a skills drill that focuses
on shooting from the supine position. Targets will be
engaged forward of the shooter, to the left, to the right
and behind the shooter. Reloads will be performed during
the course of fire as needed while in the supine position.
The third handgun exercise is a simulated defensive
encounter that recreatesa home invasion where you have to
defend from the supine position.
The fourth handgun exercise is a simulated defensive
encounter that takes place at a campsite providing minimal
cover (a camp cooler). A carbine may be incorporated in
this simulation, at the participant's option.
Please bring the handgun, holster, magazine carriers and
any other equipment you use for concealed carry as well
as 100 rounds of handgun ammunition. For range safety
reasons we ask that any holsters used in our events allow
drawing your handgun without muzzle sweeping yourself or
bystanders. This typically precludes use of shoulder
holsters and many cross-draw holsters.
Safety Reminder: All guns must remain cased or holstered
until the safety briefing has been given. If you plan
to bring a carbine, make sure it's in a case and remains
in the case while in the parking lot and at the range until
after the safety briefing has been given.
This event will be held at the Hendricksen Range in Parleys
Canyon east ofSalt Lake City (I-80 exit #134) on
Saturday, July 4.
Set up starts at 8:00 a.m.
Registration starts at 8:25 a.m.

class will be held concurrent with this event. If you are
interested in attending the Monday evening classes, please
