Get ready for a fast-paced, dynamic 8-hour Defensive Handgun course that will push your skills to the next level! Designed for intermediate shooters, this class combines movement, shooting, and real-world problem-solving to develop confident and well-rounded defenders. You’ll master essentials like non-standard shooting positions (think “Yoga with Guns!”), critical movement, engaging from seated positions, and partner drills—all while learning how to manage deadly force encounters.
