Students in this course will learn:

  • Getting the gun into the fight quickly
  • Flash sight fire v. Sighted fire (Not “Point Shooting”)
  • Movement in the kill zone - Forward, Backwards and Laterally
  • Own the zone - The 3 zones of close quarters gun fighting
  • Distraction and incapacitation techniques
  • One handed firing techniques
  • Avoiding gun take away issues
  • Wolves travel in packs - fighting multiple assailants
  • Malfunction clearing techniques
  • Finish the fight mindset - “Sheepdog UP!”
  • Moving threat and charging threat issues

Students wishing to take this course should have a good grounding in basic handgun usage. This course is NOT for the novice shooter.

Cost is $200.00 per student
