What You'll Learn
Deeply involved course to develop a shooter’s skill and confidence in counter-ambush defense in Dynamic Critical Incidents. Integrating a self-paced e-learning system with a full day of reality-based shooting drills, this training creates Intuitive Defensive Shooting which instinctively uses the natural reactions of the body to fight back and survive. Science and shooting are combined, working well with what the body does naturally. The latest in physiology, anatomy, and neuroscience are employed from real-life experience. Following the e-learning is a rewarding, challenging, and tiring day of realistic shooting drills and skills. We are not trying to compete in shooting scores, but to drive each shooter individually to perform at their own best.
