SUMMARY:Cougar Mountain Solutions - Erick Gelhaus - Pistol Mounted Optics
DESCRIPTION:This one-day class focuses on the practical application of your optic and pistol. It covers distance\, movement\, multiple targets\, and more (regardless of your job). \n \nTOPICS COVERED \nWe are long past optics being novel. This session addresses their application with likely challenges. Topics include: \n\n\nVerification of zero; \n\n\nWorking from the ready and the holster \n\n\n\n\nMovement before and after shooting; \n\n\nShifting visual attention; \n\n\nMultiple target engagements and moving targets (if the range supports it); \n\n\nBroken & blocked optics; \n\n\nEngagement at distance; \n\n\nJudgment and decision-making will also be addressed. \n\n\n \nEXPECTATIONS AND OUTCOMES \nBy sessions’ end\, you’ll have experienced and gained comfort with using the optic from near-contact to the range’s allowable distance\, with movement\, and engaging multiple targets from both the ready and your holster. \n \nABILITY REQUIREMENTS \nExperience with your pistol-mounted optic\, including acquiring the dot under time constraints\, and accuracy sufficient to shoot Dyal’s 5 Yard Round-Up clean with a 3 second par time for each stage. Additionally\, the completion of a defensive handgun class that includes holster work/reloads/stoppages as well as an understanding of applying the 4 Safety Rules practically while working around your firearm while not hazarding your neighbor. \n  \nEQUIPMENT REQUIREMENTS \n\n\nNote-taking material; \n\n\nEye and ear protection; \n\n\nA pistol with an optic (loaners MAY be available with enough notice) and three magazines; \n\n\nAppropriate holster and mag pouches; \n\n\nAppropriate belt; \n\n\nExtra battery and tool to change it; \n\n\nAdjustment tool for the optic; \n\n\nPlease bring your lunch\, Scooby snacks\, caffeine\, and—of course—water. We will break\, but the less time we devote to lunch\, the more time we can spend on your dot; \n\n\nAppropriate range attire for the weather conditions; \n\n\nAmmunition: 250 rounds of reliable pistol ammunition \n\n\n\n\n\nCourse cost is $250 plus a $30 facility fee that is due at signin.  \n  \nAbout Erick Gelhaus: \nWhat differentiates CMS and Erick Gelhaus from the other competent\, talented instructors out there? Why take a class from CMS? Good questions. Quite simply\, Gelhaus brings real experience from both the academic and practical application worlds to the classroom. \n  \nAfter lengthy careers in the military and law enforcement\, Erick’s grad school coursework focused on communicating about use-of-force issues. He is a well-published author\, with articles appearing in numerous print magazines and several online publications. \n​ \nGelhaus has taught the defensive use of firearms and tactics in the private sector – for Gunsite\, Aimpoint\, and others – to vetted citizens\, peace officers\, and service members since for more than 20 years.

SUMMARY:Lone Star Medics - Caleb Causey - Medicine X
DESCRIPTION:Some are calling it “Ambush Medicine”!  What it’s called is not as important as what you’ll learn over the next two days. The next 16 hours will be spent 90% of the time on the range… shooting\, moving\, communicating and slappin’ tourniquets on.  \nEach student will learn how and more importantly when to care for the injured during and immediately following a violent attack.  This will be a fast-paced and physically demanding course. Students will apply the lessons learned during multiple live-fire scenarios involving one-person\, two-person\, and four-person teams. Students will be provided multiple tactical medical products during class and scenarios in order to conduct their own personal testing and evaluation of the products.  These live-fire scenarios will require students to maximize both their rifle and pistol.\nSome of the subjects covered:\n– Principles of tactical medicine\n– Patient movement techniques for short and long distances\n– Medical contingency planning\n– Wound patterns of violent attacks\n– Rapid trauma assessments\n– Modern hemorrhage control techniques\n– Thoracic injuries and treatments\, blunt and penetrating injuries\n– Thermal burns and blast injuries\n– Identify and treat for shock\n– Medical equipment selection\n– Casualty collection points\n– Evacuation considerations \nPrerequisites:\nEach student must fall into one of the following categories in order to participate in any “Medicine X” coursework:\n1. Be current military or law enforcement.\nOR\n2. Must have already completed formal defensive firearms training from an approved instructor/company. You may be asked to provide proof of training with application.\nAND\n4. Must be 18 years or older and legally allowed to own/possess a firearm.\nOR\n3. NON-Shooting students may attend and participate in the class\, however they will not be allowed to handle any firearm at any time during class/scenarios. These non-shooting participants must be 18 years of age or older and accompanied with another student who meets one of the above prerequisites that is enrolled in the same class. (Basically\, if your buddy is into shooting and you’re not\, you can still come take the class together. You just can’t handle a firearm.) \nNote: There is a $30/day/person facility fee due at signin the first day of class.

SUMMARY:Two Pillars Training - John Hearne - Cognitive Pistol and Tactical Anatomy - Pistol only
DESCRIPTION:  \n  \nThink of this course as the “finishing school” for the well-prepared gunman. This is an intermediate to advanced shooting class which focuses on subjects not covered in typical shooting classes.  \nTypically\, we only worry about speed and accuracy.This class adds decision making to the equation.  A major goal is to place the shooter under increasing amounts of “cognitive load” and see how well learned their skills really are. Almost every shot will be fired based on a visual start signal\, as opposed to the traditional beep of a range timer\, and most shots will have an element of decision making associated with them. \nA major teaching tool in this process is the use of tactical anatomy. Tactical anatomy teaches the shooter how to place the most effective fight stopping hits under the reality of three-dimensional targets. The class will feature anatomically correct\, three-dimensional targets that must be engaged correctly and under realistic time limits. \nThe two-day version of this class features new drills and emphasizes traditional square range drills that force the shooter to think with the pistol in the hand. Other topics include how to engage moving targets and includes the use of moving steel targets. This class will include the use of three-dimensional shooting scenarios with both moving and stationary targets to replicate complex\, real-world problems. \nPre-Requisites: \nTHIS IS NOT A BASIC CLASS. Students need to already be competent and safe gunhandlers. They must be able to load/unload\, present/reholster safely\, perform reloads\, reduce malfunctions\, etc. If you have any doubts about whether you meet these standards\, please contact us at info@twopillarstraining.com. \nWhile anyone capable of safely running their handgun will benefit from the class\, the most benefit will be achieved by those who can already shoot well. Since accurate shooting will be emphasized – the ability to place 5 rounds in a 5” circle from five yards in less than five seconds from concealment is the recommended standard. \nRound Count:\nMinimum round count is ~600 rounds. Some portions of the course allow for extra shooting based on the student’s interest\, ability\, and ammunition availability. Up to 650 rounds could be fired in the course but are not required. \nRange Fees:\n$60 due at signin \nEquipment:\nStudents will need at least one reliable\, zeroed pistol with at least three magazines as well as standard safety equipment (safety glasses\, hearing protection\, and a brimmed hat). Holsters must be high quality and non-collapsing. Appendix carry is welcome provided safe holstering practices are followed. While not required\, a ready way to carry two spare magazines is strongly recommended. \nPast Reviews:Link

SUMMARY:Two Pillars Training - John Hearne - Who Wins\, Who Loses and Why (Lecture Only)
DESCRIPTION:Human performance under stress isn’t a new topic. What makes this critically acclaimed presentation different is the recency of the research and the presenter’s background. Some of the previous works in this area are over 25 years old and don’t reflect the most recent discoveries in the field. This presentation uses the latest findings from a wide variety of fields to offer the best understanding of the topic currently available. In addition to new research\, considerable time is spent debunking erroneous myths that have been circulated for years. Attendees are given a “to do” list of proven practices to improve their own ability to perform in critical circumstances. \nJohn Hearne brings the unique perspective of someone who has been a sworn peace officer since 1992\, a successful competitive shooter\, and a firearms instructor since 2001. His background helps translate the current research into clear\, easily understood material with practical ways to implement it and improve performance. \nTopics covered in the presentation include: \n• Origins of Human Instincts and Their Implications \n• How the Human Brain Functions \n• Emotional Control in High Stress Environments \n• Common Misconceptions Addressed \n  o Heart Rate as Destiny \n  o Task Complexity Relevancy \n  o Myth: Natural Responses Are Better \n  o Startle Reflex Realities \n  o The Innate Hesitation to Kill? \n  o Front Sight Focus – Is It Possible \n  o Debunking Hick’s Law \n  o The Truth About Fine and Gross Motor Skills \n• Why Recency Matters \n• Search for the Perfect Combative Substitute \n• Other Relevant Research \n  o Not Getting Shot by First Responders \n  o Trigger Realities and Negligent Discharges \n  o Value of Physical Fitness \n  o Understanding Eye Dominance \n• Relevant Standards \n• Best Ways to Practice & Train \n  \nAttendees will receive a detailed copy of the notes for future reference. \nLength: \n8-9 hours with a working lunch \nIntended Audience \nThis presentation is beneficial to anyone who must perform in high stress environments or train others to do so. There is a focus towards those interested in self-defense\, but anyone who needs to understand a person’s response to stress will benefit from attending. \nFacility Fee: $30 cash due at signin \nLink to Past Course Reviews\nhttps://twopillarstraining.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/course-reviews-2024_08-08.pdf

SUMMARY:Two Pillars Training - John Hearne - Who Wins Lecture + Cognitive Pistol
DESCRIPTION:This discounted ticket includes all three days of training scheduled near Oklahoma City\, OK. Friday is the full eight-hour presentation of “Who Wins\, Who Loses\, & Why” – the best summary of human performance under life and death stress\, delivered in plain English with clear “action items” to make the abstract into the practical. \nSaturday and Sunday are the two-day version of Cognitive Pistol w/ Tactical Anatomy. This is isn’t a shooting course but a thinking course that seemlessly integrates current motor learning theory and other human factors research into a very different class. For instance\, almost all start signals are visual instead of the traditional beep of the shot timer. Drills are not repeated and changed regularly to make sure that mere rote learning isn’t occurring. The two-day version also includes square range drills to develop the skills by yourself\, the use of anatomically correct 3-d reactive targets\, and deliberate training to stop the shooting process. \nPre-Requisites: Students need to already be competent and safe gun handlers. They must be able to load/unload\, present/reholster safely\, perform reloads\, reduce malfunctions\, etc. Shooters lacking this ability will be dismissed from class. \nWhile anyone capable of safely running their handgun will benefit from the class\, the most benefit will be achieved by those who can already shoot well. Since accurate shooting will be emphasized – the ability to place 5 rounds in a 5” circle from five yards in less than five seconds from concealment or duty gear is the strongly recommended standard. If you have any doubts whether this is the class for you\, please e-mail me at info@twopillarstraining.com. \nFacility Fees: $90 cash (30/day) due at signin \nReviews:\nLink \n  \n\nRegister

SUMMARY:Pistol-Training.com - Simon Golob - On Demand Performance Rifle
DESCRIPTION:A one-day course meant to be added at the end of a standard ODP pistol class\, ODP Rifle focuses on fast and accurate employment of the modern carbine. Range and student dependant\, we will employ the carbine out to 100 yards\, focusing on 50 yards and closer. Building on many of the concepts taught in ODP Pistol\, ODP Rifle will teach you to use the carbine as fast and accurately as possible while focusing on cold performance. Any modern carbine is welcome\, but 5.56’s with 14.5-16″ barrels are most appropriate. Full tactical gear is not needed\, but some way to carry spare ammo is desirable. Your back pocket will do if need be. You will need a minimum of 3 magazines and 500 rounds\, plus support gear for your optics and rifle. Students are expected to know how to function their weapon and arrive with a zero’d carbine. We will break down all of the fundamentals\, but a basic working knowledge of your carbine is required. \n  \nThose attending On Demand Performance Pistol please contact us for a discount code for Rifle \nFAQ: \nQ: If I bring more ammo will I be able to shoot more? \nA: Yes! Some drills allow for more flexibility than others but much of the shooting will be at your own pace. Which also means that some people will shoot a little less than others. \nQ: Why do you prefer to train with concealed guns instead of open carry holsters? \nA: Anyone who is serious about carrying a pistol must be able to shoot effectively from concealment. Training from concealment strongly carries over to open carry\, but the opposite is simply not true. \nQ: If I can’t meet the prerequisites what will happen? \nA: If you are unsafe\, you will be unable to continue training. Safety requirements will be clearly laid out at the beginning of the day and you will have the chance to practice them. If you can’t hit a 3×5 card at 5 yards\, you don’t yet have the skill needed to take advantage of this training. You are welcome to stay and shoot\, but we will not take class time away from the students who do meet the requirements in order to try and get you up to speed. A second attempt to pass the test may be given as appropriate. \nQ: Can I bring a 300 whatever instead of a 5.56? \nA: If you want to\, you are welcome to. \nQ: Do I need an optic for either pistol or carbine? \nA: No\, iron sights are just fine\, but there are some real benefits to optics that we will take advantage of in class if you do have them.

SUMMARY:Pistol-Training.com - Simon Golob - On Demand Performance Pistol
DESCRIPTION:Pistol-Training.com’s flagship course\, On-Demand Performance (ODP) is a 2-day class that focuses equally on technical excellence and cold performance. Cold performance is performance without any kind of warmup and is the only kind of performance that matters for most law enforcement and civilians. ODP offers daily/weekly/monthly training practices to build your cold ability and allow you to perform as well as possible. Students are tested to determine their current ability\, and training is tailored to individual needs. The prerequisites for the class include the ability to draw and re-holster safely and students must pass a pre-test of five shots on a 3×5 card at 5 yards\, with no time limit. The course requires a minimum of 1000 rounds of quality training ammo for your pistol and 4 magazines. Red dots or irons are equally welcome. Holsters may be duty holsters\, IWB or OWB\, strong-side or appendix however\, unconcealed gun/holster combos are highly discouraged. Students also have the opportunity to test for the FAST coin if they wish. \nRequirements: \n\nMentally and physically sound\n\n\n1000 rounds (minimum)\n\n\nConcealed pistol/holster (9mm or larger unless discussed in advance)\n\n\n4 magazines and 1 magazine pouch (minimum)\n\n\nAbility to draw and reholster safely as well as hit a 3×5 card at 5 yards every time\n\n\nWeather-appropriate clothing and comfort/sustainment items\n\n\nCompleted waiver\n\nFAQ: \nQ: If I bring more than 1000 rounds of ammo will I be able to shoot more? \nA: Yes! Some drills allow for more flexibility than others but much of the shooting will be at your own pace. Which also means that some people will shoot a little less than others. \nQ: Why do you prefer to train with concealed guns instead of open carry holsters? \nA: Anyone who is serious about carrying a pistol must be able to shoot effectively from concealment.

DESCRIPTION:You are on your own… plan for it.\nThis one-day course provides students with the medical knowledge\, skills\, and resources to be better prepared for various unfortunate events in their community.  Over the years it has become more and more apparent that even brief\, let alone long-term breakdowns in government ran infrastructure/systems can leave communities and individual families to fend for themselves.  Some of those affected systems may include EMS or entire hospitals in some regions.  Which means basic medical care is the responsibility of each neighborhood or household.  The “Med Prep” course prepares students for such scenarios. \nSubjects covered\n– Establishing immediate medical response teams\n            duties/responsibilities at individual\, family\, neighborhood level\n– Developing a field aid station or field clinic (aka “first aid” station)\n– Medical equipment selection\, maintenance\, and resupply\n            level I-IV med kits\n            trauma; tactical/field/clinical\n            diagnostic\n            monitoring\n            wound management\n            chronic treatment planning\n– Cross-training and introduction to teaching methods\n– Home pharmacy; building and maintaining your preparedness “medicine cabinet”\n– Field hygiene and preventive medicine\n– Non-emergency medical… emergencies\n            labor & delivery\n            mortuary affairs\n            dental\n            tummy aches\n            coughs & sniffles\n            sprains & strains\n            itchy rashes\n– Building medical caches\n– Adaptive transportation/EVAC planning\n– Mental Health/Wellness\n– Complementary and Alternative Medicine (because at this point\, why not)

SUMMARY:John Holschen - Applied Defensive Handgun Skills
DESCRIPTION:Marksmanship and gun-handing are important foundational skills for armed self-defense. It is however\, a common opinion among people with multiple exposures to lethal encounters that these skills are not the most significant predictor of successful outcomes. This class will focus on the rest of the story. Specifically\, we will work to increase your abilities and effectiveness in the critical areas of mental preparation\, decision making\, tactics and the appropriate application of deadly force. \nThe objective of this class is to develop fighting skills. The specific focus is the application of those skills when using a handgun in self-defense. \nSkills trained include: \n1) Visual perception\, cognition\, and decision-making\, resulting in rapid application of the correct level of force. \n2) Flash assessment of multiple-subjects and the environment\, leading to informed movement to manage the background\, foreground and multiple threats. \n3) Optimized movement off the X while drawing and engaging. \n4) Optimized movement to rapid assumption of cover/concealment while drawing and engaging. \n5) All of the above executed under realistic time constraints. Typically\, 3-5 seconds. \nDuring the course you will perform over 90 individually instructor-observed and critiqued drills using the “Building Shooters NURO System” to train both the neural circuitry and the physical actions relevant to self-defense situations. This will allow you to repetitively exercise your visual system\, tactically relevant information processing system and physical skills in order to ingrain optimized patterns of performance for use-of-force encounters. \nThis is not an entry level class. All students must be able to reflexively present their firearm at speed\, from a holster\, without flagging themselves and re-holster with the same constraint. We will not have time in class to conduct remediation in this area. Observed safety issues will result in the student being given the option to continue training with a “Blue Gun” in place of their firearm\, or to withdraw from the class without a refund. If this causes you concern\, please do not sign up for this class. \n  \nEquipment List: \nAmmunition \nMost drills do not have a specific number of rounds fired. Ammo usage will be dependent on the student’s speed of perception\, reaction\, and firing. 500 rounds will be sufficient for most shooters; but if you believe that you shoot (and think) significantly faster than the average shooter\, feel free to bring more. \n  \nFirearm and Support Gear \nThis class is oriented to self-defense related skills. You should use your every-day-carry firearm and equipment including concealment garments (You must however work from a holster positioned at or near your belt line.) \nLaw enforcement and military students may choose either on-duty firearm/equipment or off-duty/concealment firearm and equipment. \n“Serpa” type holsters or any holster that requires use of the trigger finger to release the firearm are not allowed. \nHolsters that do not retain their shape when the gun is withdrawn are not allowed. \nIf you have any doubt about your equipment\, please contact me in advance to discuss it. tbsh@westcoastarmorynorth.com \n  \nAdditional Equipment \nClothing appropriate to the climate. \nHydration and snacks. \nYou may want to have a folding chair on the range. \n  \nInstructor – John Holschen \nJohn has many years of service in the U.S. Special Operations community as an operator and a trainer. As a civilian trainer he has worked to convert his specialized skills in the areas of weapons and combative techniques into useful defensive curricula for private citizens. He is certified as a Firearms Instructor by the Washington State Criminal Justice Training Commission\, the United States Department of State\, and the National Rifle Association. \nThe American Tactical Shooters Association has recognized John as a “Master Instructor” and “Master Tactician”. He is a multi-time winner of the “National Tactical Invitational” and has placed in the top five finishers in that event each year that he has participated (9 times.) \nTuition $550\, Range Fee $60 (Class is limited to 12 students.)

SUMMARY:Palisade Training Group - Retention Distance Defensive Pistol
DESCRIPTION:Retention-Distance Defensive Pistol Skills may come into play when a weaker person is physically attacked by a larger\, stronger\, or more physically skilled violent criminal attacker or an attacker armed with a knife or  a blunt object like a claw hammer at distances in which there is a high probability that even if the defender is armed they may be injured or killed. Personal weapons such as hands\, fists\, and feet\, knives or other cutting instruments\, and blunt objects such as hammers are frequently the weapons of choice used against females at contact distances. Most armed defenders have never contemplated the need for retention shooting  techniques and skills and are likely far more vulnerable to being injured or worse in a deadly force encounter than they may be aware of.\nThis seven-hour clinic was  expressly designed for dealing with  attacks in which the assailant did not use a firearm normally employed at typical stand-off distances\, and focuses on methods of using a handgun at contact distances in order to increase the odds that they can force a break in contact between them and the attacker.  Palisade Training Group lead instructor Steve Moses is a former deputy constable as well as a Texas-licensed Level 4 Personal Protection Officer with experience in executive and dignitary close-protection who has studied under Tom Givens\, Craig Douglas\, Cecil Burch\, Tim Bulot\, Jerry Wetzel\, Paul Sharp\, Chuck Haggard\, and other nationally-known weapons and tactics instructors.  Moses is also a Combatives University and Relson Gracie Jiu Jitsu brown belt and a Tae Kwon Do black belt.\n​\nRequired Equipment\n\n\nConcealed carry pistol\, two magazines\, and rigid concealment holster (no offset from body)\n200 rounds of factory ammunition\nCover garment (highly recommended but not required)\nEye and ear protection\nLawn chair (recommended but not required)\nClosed collar shirt and cap with brim\n\n Class size is limited to 12 students.

SUMMARY:Agile Training and Consulting- Chuck Haggard- OC Instructor
DESCRIPTION:This is an instructor level course primarily geared towards covering the subject of less than lethal options for everyday people\, CCW carriers\, or even on duty/off duty cops. \nThis course will cover the subject of less than deadly force defensive tools and tactics\, and options\, with an emphasis on OC spray as a defensive tool. \nAlso addressed are how to avoid becoming a crime victim\, tactics of the street criminal\, the MUC paradigm (Managing Unknown Contact) and where less than lethal weapons come into play to avoid becoming a victim of violent crime\, de-escalation tactics\, verbal agility\, transitioning to deadly force (if appropriate)\, product selection\, interactive student scenario drilling of skills. \nThis class is suitable for anyone wanting to take a deep dive into the subject of avoiding being the victim of a “street crime”\, or folks who are CCW or firearms instructors and who want to expand their knowledge base beyond the gun. \nThis class will run approximately 9 hours\, depending on student numbers\, due to the extensive amount of drilling and material presented. \nStudents will need to bring a dummy pistol and holster (if they are a CCW carrier\, instructor\, etc.) in order to fully participate in all of the drills. Otherwise only note taking materials are required. \nThere is no use of live OC in this course\, all drills will be completed with inert OC trainers. \nMead Hall has an excellent and comfortable classroom\, however it is a ways from town or any place to eat. Please bring water and food/snacks with you for lunch. \nI have covered the event fees in the tuition\, however the host range has a $30 cash range fee due at the start of class. \nQuestions can be directed to chuck@agiletactical.com

SUMMARY:Agile Training and Consulting - Chuck Haggard - Close Quarters Handgun
DESCRIPTION:This class covers material that I have taught over the past couple of decades to both police officers and concealed carry people and has been proven multiple times on the street in real world encounters. \nNote; this is not a basic handgun class. \nWe will explore the following subjects; \nThe use of a concealed carry handgun or police service pistol in the MUC (managing unknown contacts) environment\, the criminal assault paradigm\, tactics\, techniques\, and issues with defensive use and deployment of handguns at contact/near contact and very close ranges \nConsiderations in drawing a handgun at contact and near contact ranges\, entangled in-fight weapons access issues\, and drawing/firing from non-standard positions \nEfficient draw stroke. Close quarters shooting techniques. Grip\, trigger control\, recoil control\, Weapon retention and disarming/deflection. Striking with pistols \nWorking around bystanders or family members in close quarters\, and the “down-range” friendlies problem\, \nHandgun retention and disarming\, when to draw your handgun and when to go hands on in a close quarters attack\, effectively using the pistol as an impact weapon in extremis\, \nWound ballistics\, ammunition selection and “Tactical Anatomy”\, \nReloads and malfunction clearances \nStudent requirements: \nA reliable/serviceable handgun; service-sized pistols 9mm/.40S&W/.45ACP\, etc. are preferred. However\, smaller concealed carry or back-up pistols may be used as a primary\, or brought to class as an extra pistol and their use discussed and worked on. \nA quality strong side or appendix carry outside or inside the waistband holster from which the shooter can safely draw and re-holster with one hand. A police or security duty type belt rig would also be acceptable. \nSoft clip-on or nylon type holsters\, or holsters that collapse and disallow re-holstering with one hand\, or shoulder holsters\, are unsuitable and unsafe for this type of training. \nPlease do not bring a Serpa holster unless you are required by agency policy to carry one \n350 rounds of ammunition is needed for this class (if you like to shoot\, you might want to bring more\, but 350 will get you by…) \nI can provide dummy ammunition in 9mm\, .40S&W and .45ACP for use in some of the drills we will be conducting. If you are carrying a caliber different than one of these please bring at least six dummy rounds in the correct caliber with you. \nEye and hearing protection; active type shooting muffs are highly suggested so that range commands can be clearly heard. Ball cap or other hat/cap with a bill. \nI will be providing dummy handguns for some of the training in this class. I have several Glock 17/22 sized dummy guns and other types of handguns. However\, if a student has a dummy gun of their own that they use for training then feel free to bring that to class. \nMead Hall has an excellent range and classroom facility\, but is a ways out of town and there are no close places to eat. Please bring water and food/snacks for lunch. \nQuestions ref the class can be directed to chuck@agiletactical.com \nI have covered the event fees in the tuition\, however the host range has a $30 cash range fee due at the begining of class

SUMMARY:Tactical Anatomy Systems LLC - Dr. James Williams - Shooting with XRay Vision Instructor
DESCRIPTION:  \n  \nThis 2-day class is an intensive course in the study of the terminal effects of gunshot wounds\, designed for the law enforcement and civilian firearms instructor. Participants who successfully complete the course will be authorized to teach the Tactical Anatomy Systems course Shooting With Xray Vision and use the Tactical Anatomy trademark in their courses. \nMany so-called “instructor course” offerings actually do little more than run participants through the same material that they will be teaching to students\, with no actual training in how to design a course of study or teach the material. This class is different in that participants will be given the course of study materials\, but also the hows\, whys\, and wherefores that will enable you to teach this material effectively to your own students. \nBlocks of instruction include (but are not limited to): historical realities of police shootings and police firearms training; realities of actual gunfights/OISs; terminal ballistics and effects; mechanisms of gunshot wounding and incapacitation; vital human anatomy and physiology as it applies to gunshot wounding; 3-dimensional visualization of human target anatomy; and how to teach these concepts to your students. \n60% of this course takes place in the classroom\, then practical exercises are used to “hard wire” the learning for each participant. We will do demonstrations of bullet performance in ballistic gelatin\, and participants will engage in both live fire and computer simulation exercises that will not only give participants a better idea of how this all works\, but will also provide them with materials they can use to teach their own students. \nClass will be held at Mead Hall Range at McCloud\, OK\, on May 4-5\, 2024. Registrants will receive email instructions on providing credentials for the class after full payment has been received\, and upon confirmation a full course outline will be provided. \nCo-instructors for this class are Chuck Haggard and David Maglio. Both of these gentlemen retired from active law enforcement roles recently\, and both are very active in firearms instruction through their own training organizations.
