Sunday September 27th, 8.30pm – 5pm
This advanced defensive handgun training course focuses on the application of defensive handgun skills under physical and mental pressure, and is designed to test a shooter’s ability to think clearly, manage constraints, and apply proven handgun fundamentals when conditions are no longer ideal.
Students will work through structured live-fire drills that introduce physical and decision-making limitations, including alternative shooting positions, one-handed weapon manipulation, movement constraints, and shoot / no-shoot problem solving. Emphasis is placed on judgment, discipline, and composure rather than raw speed.
By the end of the session, participants will gain a clear understanding of their performance under stress, identify strengths and limitations, and establish a training path for continued development.
This course is intended for disciplined shooters who have already demonstrated strong fundamentals and proficiency under pressure. It is not designed for casual shooters or those seeking introductory handgun instruction.
