What You'll Learn
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.
