This course covers the basics of Pistol marksmanship, but is not a “basic” course. The reality is that most shooters, while they CAN shoot fairly well, we all need help mastering the Fundamentals. Want a faster draw?... Master the fundamentals. Want to manage recoil better, for faster follow-up shots?... Master that grip (fundamentals). Want to be more accurate?... Master that trigger squeeze and sight alignment (fundamentals).

Want to master your Pistol?... This is the course for you.

We will cover the following subjects:

·         Weapons Safety & Manipulation

·         Fundamentals of Pistol Marksmanship  

·         4-Step Draw and Presentation

·         Speed Reload / Tac Reload

·         Trigger Control

·         Immediate and Remedial Action               

·         Multiple-target Indexing              

·         Strong Hand & Support Hand Shooting        

·         Follow Though

·         Precision Sight Alignment for Long-Range

·         Care and Cleaning of the Handgun

·         Dry-Fire Drills

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 mastering YOUR own pistol and your own gear.

Note: We will be using Dummy Rounds during certain drills. It is recommended that you bring a minimum of 9 dummy rounds for your Pistol. These dummy rounds can be purchased from Amazon or anywhere else on the web. Don’t waste your money on Snap Caps; just get cheap Dummy rounds, and mark them with your initials. We will have Dummy Rounds to RENT for $5 each at the course. You get your money back at the end, when you turn them back in.

EQUIPMENT REQUIREMENTS:

Serviceable pistol of at least 9mm caliber

Minimum of 3 serviceable magazines

Minimum of 1 double magazine pouch

Eye and Ear protection

Serviceable holster (No EDC Holsters)

300 rounds of ammunition

Conducted at the Montgomery County Shooting Complex in Clarksville TN.

This course covers the basics of Rifle marksmanship, with a focus on “Point Blank Zero” or BZO.

Why is this important?

We used to cover “Point-Blank Zero” (BZO) at the very start of our Advanced Pistol/Carbine Course.

All students were supposed to show up with Rifles already zeroed. All would. However, we would still be zeroing our rifles all the way up to lunch. Why? It dawned on us that many people have never been shown how to properly determine their Point Blank Zero, but more importantly, many didn’t know the fundamentals of basic rifle marksmanship.

I mentioned all were Zeroed. Some would be zeroed at 25m, others at 36 yards, more zeroed at 50 meters, and a few zeroed at 100 meters. Why the differences? Well, because the internet has people telling you that if you zero at 36 yards, your bullet will be within 5 inches (high or low) all the way out to 220 yards. Then, you have the SOF community zeroing at 50 meters, so their bullets will be within 5 inches (high or low) all the way out to 220 yards… Wait, that’s the same thing… How can they both claim to be right? Who is Wrong? Actually, they MIGHT both be right. I can’t tell you what YOUR Point Blank Zero is because I don’t know your Caliber/Bullet weight/Muzzle Velocity/Optic Height-over-Bore.

These all effect the trajectory of your Rifle and hence your rifle’s “Point Blank Zero.” My current rifle’s “Point Blank Zero” with my current 62gr ammo is 43 meters. That puts me “Dead On” at 200 meters. More importantly, my Point Blank Zero allows me to hold center mass from 1 meter to 220 meters and my bullet will easily hit within a head-sized target. Then, it’s just a matter of simple “holdovers” to allow me to effectively engage targets out to 300 meters… Easily.

If you are gonna run a Carbine it is important to master your Point Blank Zero. So, we have built a 1-day course that will focus 100% on that. We will start with fundamentals to make you accurate. Then, we’ll gather data and construct and confirm YOUR Point Blank Zero with YOUR weapon/ammo/optic.

We will cover the following subjects:·

Weapons Safety & Manipulation·

Fundamentals of Rifle Marksmanship·

Proper Sizing and Setup of Carbine·

Stable Body Position·

Muscular Relaxation·

Bone Support·

Trigger Control·

Breathing ·

Proper Sight Alignment ( Iron Sights )·

Parallax with Red Dot Scopes ·

Parallax with LPVO Scopes ·

Parallax with Magnifiers ·

Ballistic Trajectory·

Follow Though·

Scope adjustments (MOA vs MIL) ·

Precision Sight Alignment for Long-Range· Data Collection to 300 meters·

Internal & External Ballistics·

Point Blank Zero matched to YOUR rifle/ammo/optic

Again, this is NOT a “basic firearms” course. We will start with Fundamentals of Rifle Marksmanship to make you accurate. Then, we’ll gather data and construct and confirm YOUR Point Blank Zero with YOUR weapon/ammo/optic. This course is geared towards survival on the modern battlefield, using your own rifle and your own gear.

EQUIPMENT REQUIREMENTS:

Serviceable rifle of at least 9mm caliber (5.56mm/300blk/AK/308/458SCOM/etc)

Sighting Devices:

any Iron Sights, Red Dot, Holographic WS, LPVO, BUIS, Magnifiers

Minimum of 3 serviceable magazines

Eye and Ear protection

Minimum of 100 rounds of ammunition (200rds preferred)

Shooting Mat (Optional)

Bipod (Optional)

Sand Bag (Optional)

You carry a rifle capable of engaging threat targets at 460 meters; but all your training is basically “playing” on the flat range at 7 meters doing failure drills. That’s pistol distances, and your enemy have rifles. Your ammo is good to 400. Your Rifle is good to 400. You’ve got that LPVO or magnifier to identify threats at 400… The only thing lacking here is the “mammal” behind the gun NOT being trained out to 400. Battle Rifle-1 is where we start to fix this.

   This course is designed for shooters who truly want to learn the art of intermediate-range combat shooting. Training will focus mainly on “Battlefield” distances of 50 meters to 300 meters. Whether it is a civilian training for home/property defense or a LE/military member wanting to hone combat skills; this course will enlighten all skill levels with hard-learned techniques current taught to SOF operators. Attendees are strongly encouraged to attend the “Carbine Zero Mastery” course, conducted day prior, if they want to ensure their Zero and know their “hold-overs” before attending this intermediate-range course. 

We will cover the following subjects:

• Weapons Safety & Manipulation

• “Tactical” Mindset

• Techniques of Tactical Shooting

• Rifle Backup Sights / Red Dots with Magnifiers / LPVO Variables

You carry a rifle capable of engaging threat targets at 300 meters; but most people only train at “CQB” distances within 25 meters, playing “Pew Pew.” That’s “pistol distances.” Why would you let the enemy get within “pistol distances” with their rifles?... That’s a fair fight!?! How about engaging them at YOUR maximum effective range and wearing them down before they get close? How about bringing friends? A well trained team gives you the edge.  Battle Rifle-2 is where we start to fix this.

   This course builds off of Battle Rifle-1, and is designed for shooters who truly want to learn the art of intermediate-range combat shooting. Training will focus mainly on “Battlefield” distances of 50 meters to 300 meters. Whether it is a civilian training for home/property defense or a LE/military member wanting to hone combat skills; this course will enlighten all skill levels with hard-learned techniques currently

 taught to SOF operators.

Attendees are REQUIRED to have attended the “Battle Rifle-1” course, conducted day prior.

This course covers the advanced skills of drawing and fighting from a IWB Holster. This is NOT a “basic” course. Most shooters, while they shoot fairly well, they do not train with the actual EDC holster that they carry every day. The reality is that drawing an EDC pistol from a concealment holster is an advanced skill. Add the fact that cover garments change daily (think t-shirt vs jacket) depending on the situation that the wearer is in. Now, also add that at the moment of truth you will be in “Fight or Flight”, and you have created a situation that must be practiced to perfection.

Want to master your EDC Pistol?... This is the course for you.

We will cover the following subjects:

·         Weapons Safety & Manipulation

·         Combat Mindset

·         Physiological Effects of Combat Stressors

·         Subconscious Mind & Muscle-Memory

·         Fundamentals of Pistol Marksmanship  

·         4-Step Draw and Presentation from Concealment

·         Speed Reload / Tac Reload from Concealment

·         Trigger Control

·         Shooting from Retention

·         Drawing from Alternate Cover Garments

·         Immediate and Remedial Action               

·         Multiple-target Indexing              

·         Follow Though

·         Threat identification

·        Low/No-Light Shooting

·         Dry-Fire Drills

Again, this is NOT a “basic firearms” course; it is a “concealed carry” course. Students are required to have attended our Combat Pistol Course (or equivalent) prior to attending this course.

Note: We will be using Dummy Rounds during certain drills. It is recommended that you bring a minimum of 9 dummy rounds for your Pistol. These dummy rounds can be purchased from Amazon or anywhere else on the web. Don’t waste your money on Snap Caps; just get cheap Dummy rounds, and mark them with your initials.

SPR Precision Rifle Course covers the basics of intermediate-range precision marksmanship while using a 5.56mm Rifle. This course was designed to honor legacy of the MK-12 SPR, while highlighting many of the combat drills and tactics used by SOF operators while fielding the MK-12 during the Global War on Terror.  While this course is not restricted to tactical applications, it will include more than just competitive shooting skills. Lead instructor for this course is MSG (ret) Steve Holland, the brainchild of the original SPR program and developer of the MK-12 MOD-0 and MOD-H. His SOF instructors will share lessons learned through decades of combat experience, to explain the “what & why” of how long-range marksmanship has advanced dramatically over the last 25 years, and why the MK-12 SPR has earned its place in history.

Low-Light Shooting in and of itself is advanced. Basic fundamentals of marksmanship, target identification, threat verification, and weapon manipulation are all that is needed; the advanced quality of Low-Light Shooting is due to the requirement to apply all of these basic tasks in a fast and complex environment without the normal use of your visual senses.

A weapon-mounted visible light does not help you reload. It does not help you transition or clear malfunctions. All these acts must be done using your other senses and relying heavily on how well you “Know” your weapon systems inside and out.

Now, switch to non-visible lights & aiming lasers, and we add the requirement to wear Night Vision Devices (NVDs). Whether wearing Monocular PVS-14s, Binos, or Quads; your field of view and normal human actions are great hindered. You can’t just “move your eyes” to see left or right; you must turn your whole head, left, right, up & down. This takes practice.

Our Low & No-Light Shooting Course is a two(2) day course that covers the fundamentals of shooting in limited visibility.

Day-1: Visible Weapon-mounted Lights (Pistol & Rifle)

• Low-Light Loading & Unloading, Condition of Weapon

• Low-Light Engagement Sequence

• Low-Light Weapon Manipulation

• Low-Light Transitions & Malfunction Drills

• Low-Light Tactics

• Introduction of NVDs

• Low-Light NVD tasks

• No-Light NVD Tasks

• NVD Movement

Day-2: IR NVDs

• Introduction to IR Aiming Lasers

• NVD Weapon Manipulations

• NVD Rifle Drills

• NVD Pistol Drills

• NVD Transition  & Malfunction Drills

• Low-Light “Non-Livefire” Shoothouse

• No-Light “Non-Livefire” Shoothouse

• Graduation

“Why do I need training in Low/No-Light Shooting if that is not my job?”

Conducting tactically sound movement and manipulations of a firearm, in situations of limited visibility, while also remaining aware of multiple moving elements such as threats and your team mates, will definitely enhance your survivability and capabilities to save others despite your profession! That is why.

BONUS for this Class:

      We understand that dropping thousands of dollars for a set of Night Vision Goggles is a BIG purchase; especially if you have never messed with NVDs before. We will have several different types of NVDs there for Clients to try out, along with IR Illuminators for clients to mount on this weapons.  We are in negotiations with AGM Global Vision to provide NVDs for this class. Once approved; current plan:

5. AGM to provide new PVS-14s with Gen-2+ Tube (complete kits) per course attendee

6. Clients will have the option to purchase their optic upon completion of the course, at price discounted from AGM website.

7. Those optics not purchased by clients will be returned to AGM.

8. If a student wants to buy a DIFFERENT optic from AGM(example: PVS-51 Binos), please notify us ahead of class, and AGM will change out a PVS-14 for whatever the client wants to purchase. It will be waiting for you, at a discounted price, when you arrive at class. Client is locked in to purchase BEFORE start of course.

     Most tactical units that train for hostage rescue or CQB will tell you that “You NEVER go into a room BY YOURSELF.” That’s fine for a hostage rescue team, with a forty-man assault force, with flashbangs, door charges, and all their other enablers. However, how about that lone operator that needs to clear through the structure? How about that lone LE officer that can’t wait for “backup” to arrive? How about that home owner that was just awakened by the sound of breaking glass?  

Whatever your mission there may arise a situation where you find yourself alone and tasked with moving independently through a building or urban area.

This course prepares you for that situation by teaching tactics perfected by international SOF operatives.

Subjects include:

• Intro to 1-man CQB

• Actions at Threshold

• Event Horizon

• Modifying Weapon Presentation to expose less of your body

Required to be a Patreon Patron or family member.

Hey Patrons,

A lot of you would have heard me talk about our annual Patreon class before either on livestreams or here on zoom but we have a lot of new faces on this page and a lot of you haven’t attended before so I thought I would explain what the class is and how it all began.

Back in 2018 one of our Patrons, Susan (aka Mama Bear), reached out to me directly for some private training. We had set up a 3 day course for her and booked it for 12 months later as she was going to be flying in from Australia which, along with private training, is not a cheap flight! Fast forward to early 2019 and Susan’s budget for her training trip was pretty small. Not wanting to cancel training all together she reached out to me again to see if we could perhaps open the private class to a few more people to help lower the costs, but as a first time shooter and new to all the tactical and survival training she was too intimidated to train with the general public and floated the idea of me opening it to just our patreon group, many of whom she had spoken to via livestreams etc in the 12 months prior. I LOVED the idea! And so the Patreon exclusive class was born!!!

In 2019 we held our first class at Rockcastle Shooting Center and with Susan’s dream training schedule in mind we put together 3 days of half day classes designed to give her a taste of an assortment of different components to survival and preparedness training. It included medical, HRT, escapology, knife fighting and of course shooting. The idea being then people could book more specific full classes in future around the things they enjoyed or wanted more training in.

The class, while small (only 15 people) was a huge success, in fact to this day it remains one of my favorite classes of all time. Everyone in our group got along great. We trained all day and drank all night, ate meals together, shared stories around the camp fire and of course had a lot of laughs. A lot of friendships were made and to this day a lot of those patrons still keep in touch not only with me but with each other. Everyone wanted me to do it again and I agreed to make it an annual event... and additionally we added an extra day as there was just too much to jam in!!

So that brings us to today. We are happy to announce we have just locked in our 6th annual Patreon class!

Patreon Class of 2024 bookings are now officially open!

Due to popular demand we have secured the General Butler State Park in Kentucky again for this years event.

Located at 1608 KY-227, Carrollton KY the state park is set on 791 acres of beautiful land which include lakes, hiking trails, a swimming pool, cottages and lodge rooms as well as camp sites and so we will be able to conduct almost all of our activities on one site.

While the final training schedule and instructor list is not locked it, like our very first class and every year, it will include a mix of shooting, medical, land nav and other goodness but remember these aren’t extensive regular classes – they are brief, slower paced classes designed to give you just a taste of the subject but will build on previous classes if you have attended before. This whole event is designed more as a social gathering and of fellowship rather than hard core training. You’ll pick up a lot of great skills and tips but I promise you’ll get just as much, if not more, out of sitting around the fire sharing stories with the instructors and other patrons than you will out of the classes.

Classes will be from Monday 14th of October to Thursday 17thof October inclusive (you’ll want to check in the night of the 13thand check out the morning of 18th)

Price of the event is $1350 plus accommodation and meals. On site accommodation available (and highly recommended so we are all together) and will range in price depending on the option selected. Buffet breakfast is included in the price of the room this year. They also have camp sites and RV sites available if required.

Strength & Honor,

Karl Erickson

There are two parts to entraining a skill: 1. Learn the motion 2. Correct

repetitions. In most shooting classes you learn new skills and have to go home

and do the reps correctly on your own. Gunrunner 1 is a two day course that

incorporates both parts of the learning process. Day 1 is all about learning the

correct mechanics of shooting while going in depth into the principles and

techniques of how to accomplish positive control of your Pistol. Day 2 is getting

in some good reps and starting the myelination process. We have also designed

this course to be as conservative on the round count as possible so it doesn’t

break the bank.
