Protective Dynamic Pistol: Active Shooter Response
THE EXPERIENCE YOU NEED & TRAINING YOU DESERVE.
The Protective Dynamic Pistol Active Shooter Course is unique in it that once you leave the deck you will have experienced a training evolution that will not only stay with you but radically change your view of what self-protection really means. You’ll have the same core components taught to special forces operators in the pistol craft arena.
These are the vital few things that make all the difference to your performance under stress and pressure. Many courses of instruction go so slow and provide so much detail on things that just don’t matter when it comes to combat performance or life-threatening stress events.
At the end of each day, you will run through a REAL-WORLD course of fire that ties in directly to the theme of the course (workplace, home, personal).
“We highly suggest that you successfully complete a recognized basic pistol handling/skills certificate from a reputable training organization." Additionally, you may want to attend a "private one-on-one training package" to ensure you're ready for a course at this level. Please know that we thoroughly evaluate every student to ensure they are ready to have a great training experience and are safe for themselves and others on the range.
“Life changing experience. Top notch training. Highly skilled instructors that are supportive and have a keen ability to deliver instruction effectively.” - Theresa Stringer
This is a Protective Dynamic Pistol Course with a theme of how to defend against threats such as an Active Shooter while managing the chaos of crowded, people rich environments… we’re calling this course “Active Shooter Response”!!
If you have ever studied history or even just pay attention to the news you will see countless examples of the chaos that comes from crowds of people once stuff hits the fan. If you find yourself caught in a active shooter event, riot, or any type civil unrest that turns violent it is your responsibility, duty, and obligation to maintain a cool head and protect yourself and your loved ones while getting to safety. If that means using your pistol for self defense it is imperative that you have the situational awareness and wherewithal to call shoot or no shoot based on your environment and location of innocent bystanders. If you think you’ll know what to do without training for it… think again!
“Their detailed instruction, focused on handgun fighting... These guys are BADA$$ but the most impressive thing was the humility and respect they also brought to the table. Top notch bunch here. I highly recommend the program.” - Chad Poultney
