Tactical Handgun Class

This is not your typical shooting class! Our Tactical Handgun Class is designed to bring students from the static drills normally performed on the flat range into the dynamic, 3-dimentional style of shooting used in a real defensive scenario. This class includes lots of movement, and is intended to teach situational awareness and tactical decision-making in addition to new shooting skills. Students will be put through a number of physical exercises throughout the session in order to add an element of stress to make the training more realistic. These exercises are meant only to raise the heart and breathing rate of the student, not to provoke mental stress or fear of any kind.

​

Skills and techniques taught will include

• Drawing from a holster (refresher)

• Recoil control (refresher)

• One hand/off hand shooting

• Engaging at contact distance

• Target transitions

• Shooting from unconventional positions

​​

Holster Requirements: All holsters must be belt mounted (drop-legs are ok) and must retain the firearm while running or performing other rigorous exercise. Cross-draw holsters are not permitted. Kydex/plastic holsters are highly recommended for all holsters, but are required for inside-the-waistband models. Failure to bring a suitable holster may result in the student being dismissed from class for safety reasons.

​

Note* Long pants are highly recommended. No low-cut/plunging neckline shirts permitted. This is for your safety, and the safety of those around you.

​

Note** Self defense situations are just as unpredictable as the weather in Wisconsin. We will be training at an outdoor range, so please be prepared for changes in weather and dress appropriately for the conditions. Sunscreen, sweatshirts, bug spray, and/or rain gear are recommended. Class will only be canceled/rescheduled due to severe weather (i.e. tornados, thunderstorms, hail, etc).

​

Note*** Our focus is preparing students for defensive situations. Therefore we will be using USPSA-style, human silhouette targets. Discussion and target scoring will be focused around stopping a threat.
