Take your defensive shooting skills to the next level.
The Bearded Monkey Tactical Level 2 Defensive Pistol Course is designed for responsibly armed citizens, concealed carry permit holders, law enforcement professionals, and experienced shooters who want to build real-world defensive handgun skills beyond basic firearms training.

What We'll Teach
Defensive Shooting Fundamentals
This lesson will continue with the basics, including a very visual overview of what we call the “building blocks” or the fundamentals for accurate and safe shooting. Within this lesson, Michael Martin will explain the differences between the skills required for being a good “marksman” at the range, and the skills that might be required to save your life if you are ever the subject of a violent attack.
