I have often heard the question, “How good do I need to be?” The question you should ask yourself is, “How good do I want to be?” Without practical metrics, how does one measure their raw performance? Largely based around the concepts of our 2 day AEDC course, this class helps to give the students a reasonable standard to work toward before blending their skills in more complex exercises. A fast-paced, skill-centric class combined with movement and rapid decision making, Skill Acquisition makes for a great opportunity for serious armed citizens to see where their shooting performance measures up in a defensive context!

Subjects discussed and exercises:

● Recoil management

● Critical Movement

● Target discrimination

● Technical Skills

● Individual Capabilities and Limitations

● Metrics & Standards

● Strong hand and Support hand only shooting

● Challenge Drill

Pre-requisites:

Students must have safe gun handling skills, comfortable drawing from the holster, and have a good handle on the foundational aspects of shooting.

What to bring:

• 300 rounds min

• Semi auto handgun (EDC Setup).

• 10 inert dummy rounds.

• Quality Concealed Holster(no nylon or Velcro and no serpas),

• Minimum of 3 spare magazines (spare magazine holster optional but it will come in handy)

• Eye protection and ear protection.

• Note taking gear.

• A camping chair would be a good idea.
