Hardwired Tactical Shooting (HiTS) First Responder Pistol
“Confronting Evil”
HiTS announces its “First Responder Pistol” course to be held March 16-17, 2013 in Carrollton, TX (North Dallas area). This class is a comprehensive, intensively fundamental and professionally relevant presentation for the use of the service pistol in self-defense and law enforcement service. This training will be appropriate for those who have CCWs/CHLs and desire a solid grounding in the use of the pistol in real world self-defense; for the law enforcement officer/trainer who desires to enhance their level of professional knowledge and competence with their duty pistol and the private citizen who has some skill and knowledge with the handgun, but desires to travel the path to full competence with the defensive pistol.
Topics to be presented include:
• The Combat Triad of mindset, marksmanship and manipulations
• Firearm safety considerations for the real world use of the tactical pistol
• Hardwired responses with the service handgun, including real world marksmanship, mental preparation and handling skills techniques
• The Two Seconds Standards, a new approach to street relevant pistol skills
• Single and multiple threat engagement options
• Tactical movement techniques
• Assessments of individual skillsets and plans to improve those capabilities
• Intensive drill work to “hardwire” the brain for responses needed for the student to prevail in street encounters…not just survive
This class will be taught by principal HiTS Instructors Wayne Dobbs and Darryl Bolke, whose bios can be viewed at www.hardwiredtacticalshooting.com (site is under construction, but bios are viewable).
Equipment List:
• Reliable service pistol of 9mm or larger caliber
• At least three functional magazines, with five or more being optional
• Outside the waistband holster, preferably of Kydex type construction (No SERPA holsters, unless a mandated issue holster; NO inside the waistband holsters); LE officers are encouraged to use their duty rigs, whether uniform or plainclothes type
• Magazine pouches to carry at least two magazines on the belt
• A sturdy belt to support the holster and mag pouches without sagging or slipping
• Optional: 10 dummy training rounds (not home fabricated reload type), such as ST Action Pro or similar
• Eye and ear protection (electronic ear protection preferable if available)
• Baseball type hat
• Closed toed footgear
• Clothing appropriate to the weather
• Shorts are acceptable as long as they have loops that will accommodate the equipment bearing belt; no tank tops
• Water, snacks, personal items to include a minor personal first aid kit (“owie” kit)
• Note taking material
• Good attitude and willingness to learn
• 500 rounds of reliable ammunition (.22 rimfire conversions fully acceptable and we will make all possible adjustments if you can’t come up with the full amount of ammo)
Cost: $300 for the two day course plus range fees of $30. This course is strictly limited to a maximum of 16 students.
