What You Need Before Enrolling
To participate, students must hold a
Concealed Carry Weapons (CCW) permit or equivalent certification, or be part of a school board staff in need of training.
Physical conditioning is important, as the class will involve rigorous scenarios designed to push your mental and physical limits. This class is built for active participation, ensuring real-world readiness.
Master Essential Active Shooter Defense Techniques
The course includes critical defensive skills such as
tactical reloads,
emergency reloads,
malfunction drills, and more. Students will practice shooting from various positions (standing, kneeling, prone) and engage in challenging real-world drills, including
the Tueller drill and
scenarios with airsoft for stress inoculation.
What You Need for the Active Shooter Course
For the course, bring your service-sized handgun (e.g., 9MM, .40S&W, etc.) along with a quality holster (IWB/OWB), magazine pouches, and at least 800 rounds of ammunition. Proper eye protection, ear protection, and appropriate clothing (long pants, closed-toe shoes) are required. You’ll also need a balloon for drills and note-taking materials for learning.
Engaging Realistic Drills to Build Your Skills
This course is centered on
realistic, hands-on drills such as
balloon drills,
barricade shooting, and
shoot/don’t shoot scenarios. Students will also work on
dominant and support hand drills and
drawing from a seated position to simulate real-life, high-stress situations. These exercises build muscle memory and improve decision-making under pressure.

The
two-day course takes place on either weekends or weekdays, depending on your preference. We can also arrange for private training at your location, but please note that there are
