Again, this is NOT a “basic firearms” course; it is not a “competition shooting” course; it is not a “concealed carry” course. However, these training techniques will help you with both competition and concealed carry. That said, it is geared towards survival on the modern battlefield, using your own pistol and your own gear. This Pistol Course is immediately followed by our 2-Day CQB/Home Defense Course, and is designed to give CQB attendees a chance to brush up on their shooting skills before going into the Shoot House. However, it is NOT required that students also attend the CQB course, and it is open to the general public. Shooters of all skill levels are welcome to attend this Pistol Course. It will make beginners confident in themselves. It will take intermediate shooters to the next skill level. It will refresh and sharpen the skills of even the best pistol shooter.
