When: Saturday, August 16th, 2008 - 8am til 6pm (or later)
Where: Private Range (Brighton, CO)
Instructor: Rob Pincus
Price: 150.00

Description:

This 8 hour course is designed to introduce students to the principles, fundamentals and training concepts of the Combat Focus Shooting Program.

For decades, combat shooters have known (and progressive trainers have acknowledged) that the human body and mind have predictable, instinctive responses to surprise and lethal threats. While the basics of weapons handling and marksmanship are important skills for all shooters, they are not the basis for success during most lethal encounters involving the defensive use of a handgun. You are much more likely to be caught off-guard by an aggressive attacker in close quarters and low-light than you are to be confronted by a truly lethal threat in broad daylight standing 30 yards away in front of a dirt berm.

Combat Focus is an intuitive shooting program that is based on the study of empirical evidence from real violent encounters and builds on the body's natural reaction to an attack. At the ranges that gun fights typically occur, Combat Focus is the most effective way to engage your threat with a handgun. This 1 day course empowers students by encouraging them to embrace their bodies natural reaction to a lethal threat and work with it to neutralize that threat as efficiently and effectively as possible. The Combat Focus Technique is not hip-shooting, in fact, the only significant difference between using this technique and sighted fire is the focus of your attention at the moment the trigger breaks.

Students need:

Equipment Needed:
* Handgun and 3 magazines
* 800+ rounds of pistol ammunition
* Holster and magazine pouches
* Cover garment if you regularly carry your weapon concealed
* Hat or other head covering
* Knee and elbow pads
* Eye and ear protection
* Sunscreen or raingear (as applicable)
* Adequate personal water supply
* Sack lunch and snack food (We do not leave the range for lunch)

I'll second that. Rob is an articulate and passionate instructor and I'm hoping to do more 1 day and 2 day classes here locally. Thanks for sharing Rob!
