Description

This specialized class is tailored for individuals who already possess a strong foundation in handgun marksmanship and the handling of semi-automatic pistols. We will commence with detailed instructions on properly executing the four-stage thumb pectoral index draw stroke. This technique is essential for effectively engaging potential threats in close-quarters scenarios, ensuring you can respond swiftly and accurately under pressure.

 Following the introduction of the drawstroke, we will focus on elevating your marksmanship skills to meet more intricate challenges. This progression is particularly crucial when encountering threats that are partially concealed or situated behind cover, necessitating a higher level of precision when aiming at targets that are reduced in size due to a threat using cover. Our drills will involve a variety of scenarios that simulate real-world conditions, allowing you to practice and refine your skills in a controlled environment.

 In addition to these marksmanship enhancements, we will delve into strategies for taking accurate shots from unconventional cover positions. This aspect of the training will hone your adaptability and help you develop a tactical mindset, enabling you to engage targets effectively regardless of the obstacles in your environment.

 We will go over incapacitation drills to show you how to fire, clear malfunctions, or reload with only one hand, whether it's your dominant hand or your support hand, in the event you've been shot and only have one limb to use. 

All drawing exercises will be conducted from a concealed carry position throughout the course. This repetition increases your muscle memory and efficiency, ensuring that your handgun handling becomes instinctive as you build confidence in your abilities. By the end of the class, you will have a comprehensive set of techniques and experiences that enhance your proficiency and safety in high-stress situations.
