SUMMARY:Intro to Tactical Anatomy
DESCRIPTION:When it comes to defensive shooting\, can you identify the vital areas on the human body from any angle?  Based on the proven “Shooting with X-Ray Vision” curriculum\, Intro to Tactical Anatomy focuses on teaching how to identify the vital areas to hit in a 360 degree environment\, because life isn’t like a shooting range where we will always face the target head on.  This will be a blend of classroom and live fire\, and will also include a special exercise using a Non Lethal Training Ammunition pistol shooting an anatomical 3D target. \nThis is not an introductory course. Students who sign up should be able to make precise hits at distances of 30 feet on a repeatable basis\, be able to demonstrate extremely safe firearms handling skills\, and safely draw from\, and return to the holster. \nRequired equipment: \n\nPistol\nHolster (Serpa style are not permitted)\nEar and Eye Protection\, electronic hearing protection preferred.\n100 rounds of ammunition.\nNote taking material.

SUMMARY:Intro to Holster Skills
DESCRIPTION:This 3.5 hour intro class is for the student that has little or no training on how to safely draw their firearm from a holster.  We will start in the classroom with an overview of what makes a good holster\, positions on the body\, and an overview of the draw stroke.  We will then move to the live fire range\, where we will go through a “Crawl-Walk-Run” approach to learning the draw stroke\, and get a number of repetitions of a draw to single shot on target.  Class will finish up in the classroom with a recap of the learning objectives and a Q&A session.  Students should expect to leave this Intro to Holster Skills class with the ability to safely draw their pistol from the holster\, fire it\, and return the firearm safely to the holster. \nThis is not a concealment course\, so all holster work will be done with holsters in the open.  Inside the waist band and appendix inside the waist band holsters will be permitted so long as they are of a safe design. \nRequired materials: \n\nHandgun that is operable and safe\n100 rounds of ammunition\nEar and eye protection\nNote Taking material\n\nOptional equipment: \n\nHolster that fits your handgun\n\nHolsters that use the trigger finger to deactivate a retention device such as the Blackhawk SERPA style holsters are not permitted\nSoft sided nylon or leather inside the waist band holsters that cannot remain open on their own are not permitted\nHolsters that do not cover the trigger guard are not permitted\n\n\n\nWith advance notice\, loaner pistols and holsters are available for use during the class. \n

SUMMARY:Performance on Demand
DESCRIPTION:Performance on Demand \n  \nPerformance on demand is going to focus on the mental and physical process of pressing the trigger.  This clinic is all range time\, all slow fire\, and all on B-8s.  This will be a primer on achieving excellence and absolute accountability and accuracy.  We will spend our time between 10 and 25 yards.  The objective of this course is to get the student to understand the process of moving the trigger without moving the gun and how that process can change at various distances.  This is not a beginner course; you must know how to run your gun well\, so show up ready to hit the ground running.  Students will need 200rds minimum.

SUMMARY:Performance on Demand\, May 22nd\, 5p-9p
DESCRIPTION:Performance on Demand \n  \nPerformance on demand is going to focus on the mental and physical process of pressing the trigger.  This clinic is all range time\, all slow fire\, and all on B-8s.  This will be a primer on achieving excellence and absolute accountability and accuracy.  We will spend our time between 10 and 25 yards.  The objective of this course is to get the student to understand the process of moving the trigger without moving the gun and how that process can change at various distances.  This is not a beginner course; you must know how to run your gun well\, so show up ready to hit the ground running.  Students will need 200rds minimum.
