Live fire training goes above and beyond just passing the basic qualification. We teach advanced skills like holster draw, how to shoot sooner without over confirming sights, rapid fire while still being defensively accurate, clearing malfunctions, one-handed shooting & more.
Timed shooting drills to simulate shooting under pressure and taking your shooting ability to the next level. An appropriate IWB/OWB holster required.
