Description

This course builds on Advanced Combat Pistol 1 and attendees must successfully complete Advanced Tactical Pistol 1 prior to enrolling in this course. This is our most advanced pistol course and it is designed to help you reach your top performance in all areas of our high operator standards. It covers all aspects of your pistol handling, manipulation, body positioning and shooting in-depth and also takes you into Reticent Warriors ethos and teaching philosophy. This course will help you master the mental and physical skills needed in a gunfight or other high-threat/deadly force encounter.

Performance-Based Training: Our methods and teachings may be a little different than what you have previously experienced. We use Performance-Based training combined with limited Standards-Based training. Obviously, we have high standards for our training programs but we don’t train for outcomes ie. ambiguous standards, we train for your forward progress. Our focus is to help you improve your personal performance (skillset) at whatever level you are at today so you can be better, faster and smarter tomorrow.

You also need the traditional martial arts humble spirit that is ready to learn and put in the work required to move forward in your skill development.
