Basic Handgun & Defensive Shooting Fundamentals

Description

Welcome to 5150 HEAT LLC – Firearms Training Academy. 

My name is Ken "KC" Clements, I am the Chief Firearms Instructor for 5150 HEAT, LLC - Firearms Training Academy.

First, thank you for contacting 5150 HEAT, LLC - Firearms Training Academy.

Self-defense is not only our right; it is our duty; given that it is one of God’s oldest laws. -KC

Second, we have a few popular Firearms Self-Defense course offerings. I will describe the class most students choose to start with and then follow up with a few brochures describing some of the other courses, (including Concealed Carry, CCW). You can contact me directly with any questions or concerns you might have.

Third, our workshops are small, hands-on, interactive, and create a personal learning experience. Questions and participation are always welcomed and encouraged throughout our classes. Each topic is designed to build confidence and created for you to become well-versed in proper gun etiquette, language and safety. All while gaining useful defensive shooting skills, learning effective handgun knowledge, and essential firearms fundamentals, developing solid defensive tactics, establishing strong marksmanship skills, and determining which handgun is right for you. As well as teaching you how to defend yourself and your family on that dark night when the wolves are at your door.

WE'VE GOT YOU COVERED... EVEN IF YOU DON’T OWN A FIREARM OR HAVE NEVER FIRED A HANDGUN, WE CAN HELP!

5150 HEAT offers more advanced training courses to help with your HOME DEFENSE concerns, designed to make your home a HARD TARGET. So, the “bad guys” will take a pass on your home and take their trouble somewhere else. Beyond that, we have more advanced courses like DEFENSIVE SHOOTING and if you decide to obtain your CCW, (Concealed Carry License) for protection outside the home, we can help with that too.

The Basic Firearms & Self-Defense Fundamentals Course - comes with two textbooks. Plus, Student Handouts:

· USCCA, Concealed Carry and Home Defense Fundamentals, by Mike Martin  

· Or you may choose the NRA Guide, Basics of Pistol Shooting by NRA/Smith & Wesson Inc.

· Range Journal a Handgun Shooter's Logbook, by Ken Clements

All textbooks offered are outstanding learning aids and two of them are used in the other courses I teach such as Home Defense Fundamentals and CCW, (Concealed Carry License).

When training sessions are presented by 5150 HEAT Firearms Training Academy our past students tell us that the "four classes rolled into one training course" format is far superior to most basic and many intermediate firearms training classes offered in California.

It's also a very good idea to learn the basic firearms & self-defense fundamentals with a spouse, son, daughter and/or family & friends. The TEAM EFFECT!

COURSE III:

5150 HEAT 

Train with the same tools, drills and methods that SEAL Teams, Special Forces, Marine Recon, Elite Security Contractors, Leading Law Enforcement & SWAT Teams! -KC

Forty years of training police officers have taught me many valuable firearms tactics, street survival, and high-stress combat performance lessons.

The class sometimes goes a little longer because of student questions and training with the 'SIRT' Laser Pistol training system, which by the way I am confident is the best method for teaching new shooters how to operate today's modern handguns and maintaining the marksmanship skills of old salty shooters. Along with the Laser Pistols we use electronic & computerized targets intended to provide students with the best shooting experience, educational feedback, and shot analysis. The Laser Pistols we use are not cheap videogame toys. They are expensive replicas of real handguns and have functional features like the Glock 17, 19, 22 & 34. We also utilize a variety of popular, concealable sub-compact semi-auto & revolver pistols, such as the Glock 42/43, Ruger LC9, Ruger LCP, S&W Shield, S&W J-Frame 38, and Taurus PT111. To fill in performance or training gaps, we have several 'BLOWBACK' laser handguns, which are used to demonstrate the recoil of actual live fire firearms. This is leading-edge high-tech training.  

Results: You’ll leave the class introduced to several gun safety, marksmanship skills, and know when applied; they're effective protection and they really work!  

COURSE IV:

Extend your Firearms Training experience with live fire training at the Orange County Indoor Shooting Range in Brea. With more than 80 rental guns to choose from, novice students will have no problem discovering which handgun is the perfect caliber, size, right or left hand, and fit for their use and eventual purchase.

The Live Fire Gun Range is a third party and therefore a separate cost to students. Each student is required to pay their own range fee: $20; handgun rental: $10; targets: $2 to $3 each; and ammo Costs Vary. Prices are approximate and subject to change. The Live Fire Range provides sanitized safety equipment (ear/eye protection) at a nominal cost.

Live Fire Gun Range appointments are scheduled on a separate date, typically, weekday or Sunday mornings. For a large group of friends or family (5 to 6 students) the Live Fire Gun Range may open an hour early or stay open an hour late to accommodate 5150 HEAT students.

Each student that completes training courses receives three* course completion certificates and one "shot to pieces" live-fire target!

1. The 1st certificate for the USCCA Firearms Fundamentals Course. 
2. The 2nd certificate for the NRA Basic Pistol Training Course. Awarded after the course date.
3. The 3rd certificate for the NRA Pistol Marksmanship Simulator Training Course.
4. The 4th "shot to pieces" live-fire target to "certify" to the world of the shooter's own marks'man'ship   or  marks'woman'ship  skills!

Tuition: The cost for the above-described Basic Handgun Fundamentals Courses is $150, per student. I am certain you'll benefit from the high-level course of instruction, the S.I.R.T. Laser Training Pistols, as well as owning both outstanding course textbooks, the Concealed Carry and Home Defense Fundamentals, and the Handgun Training Journal, plus the live-fire shooting range experience.  

Reserve your place in class with a $50 deposit on your credit card: Visa or Mastercard. Tuition balance to be paid on the day of class.  Any usual form of payment is Okay... But I'd prefer cash if possible...!

Lunch: On Saturdays, we have a casual, "learning lunch," where class instruction continues during the lunch period. A learning lunch saves valuable instruction time rather than everyone going out for lunch. We can pass the hat for $10 donations and get Domino's pizza or Subway sandwiches delivered. I'll provide soft drinks, coffee & donuts in the AM & PM.

Reserved Parking: We have 7 "Reserved Parking" spaces for students. 4 spaces in front, 2 spaces on the Eastside, and 1 space in the rear. Typically, on weekends and weeknights, the parking lot is empty with many parking spaces available.   

Expectations and Outcomes

Our Basic Pistol course is designed for new shooters, first-time gun owners, individuals looking to purchase their first firearm, and even rusty old shooters that just need to knock the rust off their shooting skills. Our goal is to teach the Universal Firearm Safety Rules, basic knowledge, and skills necessary for using a handgun SAFELY, while students learn the functionality of their handgun.

Basic Pistol course also covers how to use both semi-automatic handguns and revolvers. Students will begin learning to shoot with the same state-of-the-art LASER PISTOLS & ELECTRONIC TARGETS. Eventually, students will have the opportunity to go to the range and shoot different handguns and targets plus learn self-defense shooting skills and accuracy drills. This course is approximately eight hours long, giving students time to learn and become familiar with different aspects of safe gun handling and marksmanship or marks 'WOMAN' ship and defensive shooting skills!
