1-Day Principles & Applications of Deadly Force Engagements

Cost – $247 per person

Description:

Most firearms related training focuses on engaging a target and determining pass or fail based on hits on target zones. We have seen many times that scores on target do not always equal success in real life encounters. In this 8-hour course, we will activate the sympathetic nervous system utilizing “force-on-force” training. Additionally, break down the actual engagement through repetition and analyze with videotape review and determine what went well and what could have been done differently. We will focus on learning Engagement principles rather than techniques; through these principles the student can increase his/her overall capabilities exponentially in compressed training times. This will be accomplished through a presentation, introduction to proper movement and force on force on a barricade field.
