Sight Offset >>>
If the AR / Carbine format is your weapon of choice this article is a must read. Written by the staff of Man Alone Tactical, this article will provide a detailed understanding of "Sight Offset" and how it will improve your shooting.

Tactical Carbine Training

Great projection of power, but a complex weapon to apply from battle zero to shooting position. Learn from pros that can not just do it, but can break it down into easily grasped fundamentals. Fundamentals that if mastered and maintained, can save your life.

Tactical Pistol Training

This is the weapon you will most likely have handy when it is time to save your life because trouble comes to call. Shooting just isn′t enough. That you qualify well on the range does not impress the bad guy. You need to know how to use the pistol in a fight. Huge difference.

What We Do

We have highly trained, experienced, qualified and able tactical instructors. Man Alone Tactical offers a variety of courses for Law Enforcement, Military and Civilian personnel including; the South Carolina Concealed Weapons Permit Course, as well as a complete tactical rifle and pistol training, and defensive shotgun training.

Tactical Weapons Training for the Professional

Law Enforcement / Military / Professionals

Our main focus are Professional Tactical Weapons Training Courses which are restricted to Law Enforcement and active duty Military. Generally, the class training schedules are not posted on the website, and are restricted to the contracting agency or department. Call for scheduled classes and dates.

09/11/2011 - "The Tactical Pistol Course was my first Man Alone Tactical experience, and it will not be my last. The course objective was clear and the approach precise. Although it was fast paced, the instructor was great at taking you beyond your normal comfort level. You finished each segment confident and ready for the next. Great Job!" >>>Lewis - Beaufort, SC

Our focus and intent are clear. Our tactical training courses are planned around safety, execution and responsible use of tactics. We train these professional gun handlers to dominate the fight without collateral damage. Participants will learn proper doorway entry and egress shooting, as well as disadvantaged shooting techniques. To fulfill this objective, the training requirements have to be stringent. Our techniques have been developed and tested in real life by people whose survival depends on dominating the threat or deadly force encounter.

California: Firearm-Related Bills Expected on Third Reading Tomorrow
Sun, 20 May 2012 00:00:00 GMT - No action was taken on two anti-gun bills and one pro-hunting bill last week.  These bills have been placed on their respective house calendars to be heard as early as tomorrow, May 21.  Your state legislators know that criminals DO NOT respect or obey the law, yet some still believe that passing anti-gun bills that only restrict law-abiding gun owners from exercising and enjoying their Second Amendment rights and hunting heritage is an effective solution.  With California having over 950 firearm laws, one more firearm-related bill will not reduce crime.  All gun owners in California need to urge their state Senator and Assemblyman to OPPOSE all anti-gun legislation that will further erode the Second Amendment and California’s hunting heritage.
New Hampshire: Time Runs Out Before Senate Acts on Permitless Carry
Fri, 18 May 2012 17:00:00 GMT - Unfortunately, the state Senate failed to remove from the table House Bill 536, permitless carry legislation, before its May 17 deadline.   Because of this Senate inaction, residents of New Hampshire have missed an important opportunity to expand their gun rights. 
Pro-Gun Constitutional Amendment Up for Final Vote in Louisiana House on May 24
Fri, 18 May 2012 17:00:00 GMT - This Thursday, May 24, the Louisiana House will vote on Senate Bill 303, a constitutional amendment protecting the right to keep and bear arms.  SB 303 has already passed in the state Senate, two House Committees and has been endorsed by Governor Bobby Jindal.  This legislation, which would provide for the country’s strongest “right to keep and bear arms” constitutional amendment, still faces an uphill battle on the House floor and needs your help and support.
Michigan Permit-to-Purchase Hearing to Continue Next Week
Fri, 18 May 2012 16:28:00 GMT - Yesterday, the Michigan House Judiciary Committee held a hearing to review an important and long-overdue bill that would eliminate the state handgun “permit-to-purchase” and registration requirements. This committee heard House Bill 5225 and considered amendment language that will be used as a substitute for HB 5225.  The committee will again consider HB 5225 next week with a possible vote on Thursday, May 24.  
Missouri: NRA License Plate Possible This Year
Fri, 18 May 2012 09:00:00 GMT - Senate Bill 480, legislation relating to motor vehicle regulations and transportation (unrelated to Second Amendment issues), has been amended to provide for a Missouri NRA license plate to support your Second Amendment rights and activities in the Show-Me State. This amendment was successfully offered by state Representative Eric Burlison (R-136).

Senator Moran Leads Efforts Against U.N. Gun Ban Treaty--Restriction on Funding for U.N. Treaty Passes U.S. House Committee
Fri, 18 May 2012 00:00:00 GMT - By now, every gun owner concerned about the future of our right to keep and bear arms is aware that the international gun eradication movement has been working for more than a decade to achieve a U.N. Arms Trade Treaty that would cover not only tanks, helicopters, and other heavy weapons, but also rifles, shotguns and handguns. 
After Passage of "Sportsmen's Heritage Act," BLM Backs Down on Shooting Ban
Fri, 18 May 2012 00:00:00 GMT - On May 11, the Bureau of Land Management announced that it was abandoning the effort to ban recreational shooting on the Sonoran Desert National Monument in Arizona. BLM released a new proposed management plan that protects "monument objects and values" through best management practices, but does not close the monument to shooters.
Coalition of Attorneys General Urge Passage of National Right-to-Carry Reciprocity
Fri, 18 May 2012 00:00:00 GMT - As we reported last November, the ongoing effort to fully vindicate the fundamental, individual right to carry a concealed handgun for self-defense took a major step forward with House passage of H.R. 822, the "National Right-to-Carry Reciprocity Act of 2011."  The bill, sponsored by Reps. Cliff Stearns (R-Fla.) and Heath Shuler (D-N.C.), has 245 cosponsors and was approved in the U.S. House of Representatives by an overwhelming bipartisan vote of 272-154.

"We go to great trouble to drive down and have a closed session on the range. His huge understanding that every action is made of a set of smaller actions all of which build into the final product is the key. Sometimes he′s not saying anything that we have not already heard, he just says it in such a way that it finally sticks, or is refreshed, and that is priceless. He didn′t cash our checks either." >>> ‘PE’, U.S. Army Special Forces, Fort Bragg

Church Security and Threat Assessment

The basic elements that make a church effective are the very things that make it a "soft target". Let Man Alone Tactical provide the training for your Church Security Team.

Urban Rifle - Coming 2012

While we will not be offering any long distance rifle courses, with the reconfiguration of the range we hope to offer intermediate range Urban Rifle at some point in 2012. This course will allow you fellows with bolt action rifles as well as precision AR format guns to train in improvised positions much like you would be working from in your home or city. You will fight the clock and you will fight through increasingly difficult positions as you experience the limitations of both found in hostile situations. It is a great chance for you deer hunters to put what you do to the test in a very different set of circumstances. Open to law enforcement, military and properly vetted civilians.

The Urban Fight - Man Alone Tactical

South Carolina CWP Classes

Our SC Concealed Weapons Permit training day starts in the classroom in which the SLED licensed instructor reads your level of understanding and will guide you with insights and scenarios to lead you to a fuller understanding of the legal aspect of gun ownership and use as well as the complexities of the self defense laws. We also provide insight on concealed carry law and the use of lethal force. Safety is stressed throughout course.

"I was nervous when I began my concealed weapons permit course because I did not have much firearms experience. By the end of the course, I was very confident in my ability to handle my firearm and was looking forward to more future target practice. I recommend Man Alone Tactical to my friends all the time." >>>Mom of twin boys, USMC Spouse - Beaufort, SC

The afternoon is spent on the range. SLED requires a fifty round minimum qualification test. At Man Alone Tactical, we up that. Each student in our program shoots one hundred and fifty rounds. We start with dry fire and build up to a practice test, noting and concentrating on where folks are having difficulties. We then shoot to qualify.
