We will discuss and explore the advantages and disadvantages of various concealment positions, integrate a balanced approach and extensive progression of shooting capabilities, and incorporate a process driven methodology to increase effective anatomical hits on target. Pistol mounted red dot sights are encouraged and preferred for this class.
