People carry a lot of gear but gear does not solve the problem….YOU do.

There are very few dry practice or range exercises for the private citizen that focus on making lethal, less than lethal and non-lethal decisions quickly. Our 4-hour Image-Based Decisional Drill CLASSES are intended to fill in the gap in learning how to make decisions using images to provoke a response, decide which TOOL to use, and then ACT on that decision. From the time that a bad guy chooses you, you will have a very limited amount of time to make a decision. THEY choose how and when. Your actions need to be confident, quick, and decisive.

In all scenarios, the image is happening to YOU, in front of YOU, beside YOU, or behind YOU. YOU are your first responder and decisions need to be made quickly. Our Image-Based Decisional Drill instructors are more like "guides" to help you before, during but MOSTLY AFTER you have worked through your scenario.

BENEFITS:

• Classroom = dry practice
• Pressure testing under realistic time constraints with feedback for improvement.
• Visual cueing
• Pre-need decision making
• Tool cycling
• Distance management
• Strategy changes

All levels of experience are welcome. The benefits are the same for everybody. The more experience you have, the more "tools" can be introduced. If you have training in additional areas of self protection like jacks, saps, edged weapons, etc. then add these to your scenario. Also, your cognitive stacking may be quicker and easier so challenge yourself!​

Red Dot Concepts is a 2-day course. The way we aim our firearm is an area that sees constant improvement. Over a decade ago rifle optics went through significant changes with the introduction of red dot sights. These sights offered a tremendous advantage in speed, accuracy, and application. Unfortunately, back then, optics for pistols were not as easy to set up or robust enough for everyday use.

Times have changed and now most companies offer pistols ready to accept red dot sights straight from the factory. We now have a wide selection of red dot sights that are ready for everyday carry.

Red dot sights offer a number of advantages for the pistol shooter.

The most important is "target focus" which allows the shooter to clearly see the target with a red dot superimposed on it.

Secondly, the red dot is simpler to understand. With the red dot, you are only "placing a dot" on the target. With iron sights, you have three planes of focus which is obviously not as simple when compared.

Next, you have the ease when dealing with certain vision issues during shooting and it is found to be easier when dealing with difficult positions.

Last, is the ability to "track" in recoil and transitions. That bright red paintbrush of the red dot optic is hard to miss.

All of these factors are significant advantages for the shooter but IT WILL require an understanding of the red dot sighting system.

This class will prepare you to get the most out of the red dot sights and introduce you to a training methodology that will allow you to take advantage of these benefits. This class will also help avoid time-consuming mistakes in your training while learning the use of red dots.

The following subjects will be covered:

• Finding the dot during the draw
• Repeatable draws and reference points
• Target focus and using stereoscopic vision
• Zeros/Holdovers at different distances
• Ammo makes a difference
• Precision and speed
• Proper settings for the brightness of the red dot sight
• Wet optics and downed optic drills
• Positional shooting advantages
• Tracking in recoil and transitions
• Interpreting and processing the information available
