High Intensity Gunfighting Drills 16NOV24

Welcome to the Winter 2024-2025 Urban Series! This program consists of nine seminars spanning October through March, that will cover everything you need to know about how to use a modern pistol, shotgun, and carbine, how to navigate and your way through rooms, doorways, hallways, and how to understand the weapon’s role in the greater tactical framework of modern crime, home defense, concealed carry, and SHTF (Shit Hit The Fan, zombies, natural disaster, civil unrest, etc.). We’ll start with the basics, going all the way into low light gunfighting, close quarter battle, teamwork and tactics, force on force training with real live adversaries who shoot and stab back, how to calibrate and use red dots on your pistol, how to shoot your pistol with speed and precision, patterning buckshot, how bullets go through walls and cars, and so much more!

Each 10 hour day of training brings you exciting new opportunities for niche topics, specialized equipment such as Simunition non-lethal weapons and ammunition, moving targets, live fire inside our ballistic shoot house from inside a vehicle, and lots of full speed shooting and moving repetition from the holster to build up your confidence! Meet new friends and mentors along the way as you train together class after class! Don’t have gear? Don’t worry, we supply all weapons, ammunition, holsters, and protective equipment; All you need to do is bring yourself, a good attitude, and a belt.

If a private citizen must conduct armed self defense, it will invariably be within the urban environment, such as in and around cars, parking lots, homes, offices, or local businesses. Thus, all students of self defense gunfighting should learn how to fight and move and problem solve in the urban environment, right?

Oh, but in our industry there is a magical aura around ‘Close Quarter Battle’, you have to whisper the words…This dark magic is only for the elite, The Special Navy Delta Recon Green Power Rangers… Yet, once you actually get in front of one of these “Tier 1” instructors, you realize that their professional experience has absolutely no bearing on the life and reality of normal people. You hear such nonsense as “I don’t teach CQB to civilians”, “you cannot do CQB by yourself”, “kneel down when reloading so your buddies can shoot over the top of your head then wait until someone grabs your armor to pull you up”…Does any instructor have a program that teaches regular civilians how to fight, defend, and win inside and around cars, parking lots, gas stations, homes, and businesses?

We do. 

In this day of training, let’s capitalize on the cool fall weather to run high volume, high round count repetition drills that practice and realistically simulate the movement, and skills necessary to win a modern day defensive gunfight. Shake out your gear, build confidence in your ability to safely move with your weapon. Draw from the holster, and practice teamwork and partner drills.
