Defensive Handgun $200

 

The goals of this course are first, to make sure that you are SAFE and ACCURATE in the handling of your firearms.  Second, to establish the foundation for follow-on defensive handgun training by teaching the student how to draw and engage a threat in a tactically sound manner.  This is a full day course designed to take a student already familiar with handguns and teach them the skills necessary to draw from the holster and engage targets from 3 to 25 yards. It introduces the student to shooting on the move, 360 degree engagements, and emphasizes malfunction clearance and proactive sustainment.
