Two (2) Day Defensive Handgun Course
This is by far the most popular course.
This fast paced and exciting course is for anyone who wants a complete understanding of the defensive handgun and a skill level that surpasses 95% of those who carry a gun for a living. People come back again and again for this course.
Upon completion of this course you will have a fundamental understanding of the defensive use of the handgun. Among the many skills you acquire will be the ability to safely and easily present your weapon from the holster and fire two, sighted shots to the center of a target 5 yards away – all under 1.5 seconds! This course more than satisfies gun handling and marksmanship criteria for a Concealed Weapons Permit.
You will understand the principles of tactics and have multiple opportunities to use your acquired skills under the stress of simulated, lethal encounters. This course is a must for anyone who chooses to own or carry a handgun for self defense.
Lecture Topics and Firing Range Drills:
Added emphasis on Concealed Carry; Tactical Training Simulation using Realistic Targets in Shoot/No Shoot Scenarios; and Target Engagement from Arms Length to 15 yards under Time Pressure. Course also includes Supplemental Lectures on handgun topics with Single Elimination Shoot-off, and Distinguished Graduate Skills Evaluation.
If you cannot pass a background check, do not purchase this course.
