Defensive Pistol Three: Developing Critical Skills

Personalized Training for Maximum Growth

We begin with a strength assessment to identify each shooter’s strongest areas and pinpoint critical skills that need refinement. Coaching is tailored to each participant, ensuring measurable performance improvements by the end of the session.

Advanced Defensive Techniques Covered:

✔ Concealed Carry Proficiency – Practical drills for real-world application.
✔ Dynamic Shooting Environments – Move beyond static range drills into realistic scenarios.
✔ Close-Quarters & Mid-Range Engagements – Manage target transitions from 1 to 25 yards.
✔ Multiple Threat Engagement – Improve target acquisition, engagement speed, and prioritization.
✔ Shooting on the Move – Develop precision and control while engaging threats under movement.

This isn’t your typical “square range” training. Expect adaptive drills that simulate real-world threats, forcing you to think, react, and execute under stress.
