Join us for this Defensive Pistol Basics Class

We will discuss the realities of defending yourself with a firearm. We talk about examples of real-world scenarios and dive into showing you what can really happen. 

Target shooting is not enough. We do not "rise to the occasion" we fall to our level of training. So, if you have never done defensive training, you will more than likely freeze in the moments. 

Tunnel Vision, Diminished Sound, Temporary Paralysis, Memory Loss of the event and your actions are all real when the adrenaline and cortisol take over your body. 

From understanding how quick Gaps close and making use of Gaps is important. Movement is life and 'Getting off X' is crucial to survive an incident for this. If you're going to be in it, wouldn't you want to win it??

At our Range we will explore dynamic movements, drawing from the holster. Reloading and so much more. 

Finding the balance between accuracy and speed. 

Moving to Cover

Shooting while moving

Dominant and non-dominant hand shooting

Lots of drills and a little pressure applied to see how you react and give you ways to improve what you have learned. 

You will need a minimum of 250 rounds, 300 rounds is great and 350 Outstanding. We are going to make every shot count. 

You will leave more enlightened and skilled with a better understanding, and your training level will be much better than it is right now. You will leave with new skills and drills to practice.

So, if you have only ever shot at paper targets in a temperature-controlled room with no movement, we challenge you to become a better, more prepared shooter.

**We will not spend a ton of time learning basics; you should have a good understanding of the basics of pistol shooting and the safety aspects that come with the responsibility of owning and carrying a firearm before taking this class. 

**Anyone who violates the basic safety of gun handling or violates range rules will be asked to leave, and you will not receive a refund. Just because you have been shooting "all of your life" doesn't mean you understand the full responsibility, and we do not endanger our students for your ignorance.
