Prerequisite: *Fundamental & Intermediate Handgun
This class’s challenge will reinforce what was learned in Intermediate Handgun and beyond as a 2-day refresher/update/review course. Our objective is to add extra skills and increase your knowledge as well as your ability to better deploy your handgun. A class bridging the gap between Intermediate and Advanced Handgun. This class is an ebb and flowing class, we have not done one exactly the same since inception.
Day-1 commences with a rapid review of Firearms Safety, including Range Safety and Range Commands. Dry drills firming the foundation in presentation (5-part draw), drawing from concealment and open carry. One of our goals is to safely speed up presentation with 1st, 2nd, and 3rd round accuracy. Shooting on the move, shooting from different positions, tactical movements while shooting, multiple target engagement(s), tactical reloads, malfunctions, & transition drills. This Skill Builder Class will consist of student competitions and may require running, jumping and other possible physical activity. Strong & Support side shooting, both 1 and 2 handed. How to Clear Malfunctions, Timed Drills to Improve Your Ability to Function Under Stress, Multiple Shots on a Single Assailant, Multiple Shots on Multiple Assailants, Point Shooting vs. Sighted Shooting, Extreme Close Quarters Shooting, Cover and Concealment: Engaging targets from cover, Extra: Friendly, fun competition events on reactive targets!
Day-2 will include some accelerated guidance while continuing to reinforce day ones training with the use of shooting drills. Flashlight techniques, these drills allow the student(s) to put the strategy to use with stress induced competitions to see how well you execute under the mental demands of each exercise.
