Phase II Tactical Pistol Class

Saturday, August 28, 2010

Our tactical pistol classes last two hours and cost a mere $75. These classes run in a Three-course series (some take all three classes, some only one or two). We cover everything from the basics all the way through moving and shooting, reloads, using cover/concealment, and much more. Our goal in the later phases is to create a stress factor for our students in order to best simulate real-life shooting scenarios. Please don’t forget to bring a friend!

Phase II: Phase II was built around the number one rule of gun fighting: “No one stands still.” Whether you are creating separation from your target, moving to find cover, or headed down a hall to secure your children there is always somewhere to go. In Phase II we learn how to accomplish this task while engaging multiple targets and properly using cover lines.

Course Length: 2 hours (starts at 9:00 a.m.)

Prerequisites: must take Phase I before II and Phase II before III

Gear: holster, magazine holder, ear/eye protection, 2 or more pistol magazines, ammunition. Round count will be given upon registration. If you need any help with any gear please

Home Defense Strategies

Do you and your family know what to do if the smoke alarm goes off? The answer is more than likely yes. But what about when you hear the security alarm blaring, the dogs barking at 3 a.m, or the window break? Would it surprise you to know that according to the United States Department of Justice reports “one in five homes undergo a home invasion or break-in? This means that more than 8,000 home invasions occur every day in North America. In order to survive, we must be prepared and we must have a plan. Learn more...
