THIS IS NOT A BEGINNERS CLASS!
This class is designed to aid those individuals who carry concealed or intend to carry concealed and are seeking self defense skills for when their everyday environment gives them spatial challenges.
Close Quarter Defensive Pistol takes the student out of his comfort zone and removes that “safe personal space” we are used to working with.
The student will learn how to draw, manipulate, shoot, and reload with confined spaces and limited distances.
This class will help build skills, techniques and confidence for the experienced or intermediate shooter. This is also a great opportunity for the advanced shooter to refresh and practice their skills as well as learn something new.
Students should dress as they normally do in their day to day concealed carry environment.
