Synopsis:
This combination course will challenge you and significantly advance your skill level with both the pistol and the patrol rifle. Participants of this course come away amazed with
their abilities after only three days. This is also a tremendous opportunity for the firearms instructor to temporarily relinquish their teaching duties and re-sharpen their own skill set with drills, exercises, and scenarios. Training is presented in a building block approach in order to accommodate a variety of learning styles. This program is challenging and participants should be in good physical condition. Days will run longer than 8 hours.

Regarding Our Training Philosophy and Practices:
Our training staff is composed of professional and experienced coaches and we are students ourselves. We believe in treating everyone respectfully and as adult learners. Our coaches participate in the learning process and we use a building block approach to solidify skills before moving toward more advanced concepts. We do not believe in "check the box" training nor do we believe in "lowest common denominator" training.
Individual assistance is always available. Those who are not safe and conscientious with their firearms, those who are not willing to be open-minded, receive new information and try new concepts, and those who are not capable of keeping their ego in check should not enroll in our programs.
