Course description
This 3-day course is designed to enhance advanced skills for candidates using handguns or rifles for self-defense. It provides instruction on the fundamentals of operating in close-quarters scenarios, such as home invasions and attempted carjackings, which often occur when you are entering your home.
Participants will train with live ammunition as well as SIMUNITION® Non-Lethal Training Ammunition (FX® marking cartridges). The focus will be on reducing reaction times, improving shooting speed and accuracy, and increasing weapon handling proficiency. A significant portion of the course will address how to create a “Home Defense Space” and effectively defend yourself and your family while armed.
