Course Description: This course is a piece of my total training system that reinforces the techniques covered in my book Your Defensive Handgun Training Program. The program will take your shooting to the next level. The program consisting of this class, the book, training DVD’s (Defensive Handgun Training Skills and Drills Volume 1 and Volume 2), and logbook (Defensive Handgun Training Logbook) is like nothing else available today, focusing on not only the execution of skills but in the critical process to properly train those skills and subsequently improve your results. Self defense context is also thoroughly covered in this program, defining the distance related concepts of a fight with a handgun. This course is ideal for anyone who carries a handgun for combative (self-defense) purposes, and will benefit both the novice as well as experienced shooters. It is the pre-requisite course for those wishing to take other Shooting-Performance advanced handgun courses.
