Carmine Androsiglio

This multi-faceted course advances the mindset for the responsible defensive firearms owner by focusing on and understanding conflict avoidance and situational awareness; handgun & shotgun basics; shooting fundamentals; the Physiology of violent encounters; the legal aspects of the use of deadly force – including knowing what to do in the aftermath; and a complete guide on gear, gadgets, and ongoing training.

We briefly cover marksmanship fundementals so please be comfortable with basic marksmanship fundementals from 7-10 meters. Instructors will be happy to work with you through the class to pass the live fire portion, however this class will not teach you to hit small competition targets. It focuses more on defensive shooting and the ability to stop an aggressor from attacking you. 

The class will also teach students how to set up basic drills, create a home defense plan, and cover ammunition options. This is a great stepping stone to for a novice while reinforcing your sikills as an advanced shooter. 

Each string of qualification is 25 rounds. If you want to qualify on a semiautomatic and a revolver it will be 25 rounds for each pistol. No reloaded ammunition is allowed for qualification. 

Rentals are availible if needed. Shooter will supply factory ammo for rentals

This class meets NM Concealed Carry requirements for issuance of a permit.

Questions:

One question that keeps coming up is – does NM accept USCCA for CCW Instructor license purposes? The answer is yes. It is not a blanket acceptance, so each instructor will have to submit a syllabus that basically states you are following USCCA courseware and that is acceptable to NM DPS. You will also need to buy instructor firearms insurance before registering with the state. I will be happy to assist with the process if you would like to apply. If you need more experience, we can discuss ways to work on that as well. 

Women on Target is an event for women to handle different types of firearms along with a competition section for anyone to try.
