Focus:

This course is tailored for more novice/intermediate level students on the fundamentals and principles of how and why proper pistol deployment from a tactical situation is so important. 

The individuals will leave the course with the ability to draw from a holster proficiently in the “open carry” method. Presenting the firearm safely downrange while knowing their target, what is beyond it and putting rounds downrange accurately while reloading/moving effectively.

This course emphasizes competence, accuracy, and confidence in an inclusive environment. Topics covered include operation, handling, carrying, and employment
in both a dry and live fire range day. By the end of this course, shooters will have become more
efficient with their draw mechanics, presentation, understanding of sight picture versus sight

engagement shooting. The day will end with a marksmanship competency evaluation and a more developed methodology on how to train personally.
