What You'll Learn

This class is designed for private instruction for Concealed Carry Weapons License holders to further improve your firearms knowledge and weapons handling. Universal Safety Rules are reviewed with an introduction to Dry-Fire/Practice and Drawing from a holster. Familiarization with AR-15, Carbines, Shotguns and other weapons will include safe handling and operation. Real Life Situations discussed from a Defensive and Legal perspective.
Classroom portion if needed is in a private residence and range will be at a local shooting range. Actual location of training given at registration confirmation for security and privacy considerations. Times may vary due to local conditions.

This USCCA Defensive Shooting Fundamentals course will guide you through the steps you’ll need to take to go from just sending rounds downrange to actually training in specific, tested methods of armed self-defense. From stance to grip to physical shooting technique, Defensive Shooting Fundamentals will help you hone the edge on your inner warrior expert. You’ll get your body working with your gun instead of against it, you’ll learn which intuitive skills work best with what your body will naturally do while under stress in a combat situation, and you’ll learn to apply this information simply and effectively – regardless of your skill level.
The motor learning principles utilized within this curriculum play a substantial role in driving skill adaptability and automaticity, which are vital in high-pressure situations.

Defensive Shooting Fundamentals curriculum also provides a supportive and safe environment — where individuals are trained at an appropriate pace, according to their abilities.

Cancellation Policy: Students are required to cancel at least 48 hours in advance of a class date in order to receive a full refund. Classes cancelled less than 48 hours before the class will not be refunded.

    "The AR-15 Level 3 class was the best one yet. The figure-8 and 360 degree drills were very challenging and eye opening. I have also become more sensitive to feel when the magazine is empty. Thank you "
