Expectations and Outcomes

Students should expect to finish the day with improved Draw and Gun handling skills. Experience and technique in changing direction to orient to a deadly threat to establish an effective and stable fighting and shooting platform while presenting the handgun from concealment.  Improved technique and experience shooting with strong hand or support hand-only when absolutely necessary.  Work on target transitions, both within an individual target, simulated moving target, or between multiple targets. Students will get to practice this in a range/competition type of situation, as well as working on these same skills using a real-world paradigm taking the surroundings into account.
