Tactical Pistol Fundamentals

Thank you for your interest in the Basic Tactical Pistol course. This will be a 2-day event focusing on the use and practical application of Tactical Pistol. This is an entry-level course that will focus on Safety and Fundamentals. The techniques presented will be appropriate to set the foundation for weapons manipulation in a tactical or combat environment. I am committed to ensuring that each attendee receive adequate personal feedback and attention, as a result this course has a hard limit of 12 students- without exception.

Training exercises will include:
Weapons Retention
Clearing and Safety Procedures
Maintenance Techniques
Marksmanship Fundamentals
Load/Unload/Reload
Draw Stroke
Grouping
Malfunctions
Shot Placement
Multiple Target Engagement
Stance and Grip

**All courses are in a layered, building block format. Progression of the listed tasks is dependent on the student’s ability to absorb and apply instruction. Because of this, we cannot guarantee that all training topics will be covered or that we will not progress past them on to more topics not listed.**

What Should I Bring?
Range appropriate attire.
Be comfortable and dress for the weather. This training is designed to work on the fundamentals. Unnecessary gear can over-complicate training and decrease your ability to absorb the training. Keep it simple.
