What You'll Learn

DEFENSIVE SHOOTING FUNDAMENTALS Training Your Mind and Body to Respond

So you took your class, received your permit in the mail, and bought a firearm that will serve as your concealed carry gun.....Now what?..... Are you ready to defend yourself in a deadly critical incident? Do you have the confidence to defend yourself or others while in a novel, high-stress encounter? How about defeating a cover garment while on the move? If these questions have you thinking or second guessing your current skill-set, you're not alone...

The DSF curriculum will steer through the static training most are familiar with, into actual training in specific tested methods of armed self-defense. Topics covered will include stance, grip, to physical shooting techniques that gets your body working with your gun instead of against it. Intuitive skills that work within what the body does naturally while under stress in a combat situation will be discussed and drilled so that the end user can apply them simply and efficiently. The class begins with a safety briefing and delves into: Warrior Expert Theory Counter-Ambush Training Work well with what the body does naturally The Balance of Speed and Precision The "Most Likely" Distance Stance and Movement Presentation from "Ready" Position Grip and Trigger Control Presentation from the Holster One-Handed Shooting Shooting from Retention & Reloading And...

Whether you are a beginner or an advanced shooter, you will walk away from this course a better protector of yourself and your loved ones.
