Concealed and Off-Duty Pistol
October 18-19, 2008
South Hill, Virginia
I’ll be teaching a 2 day Concealed and Off-Duty Pistol Class in South Hill, Virginia on October 18-19, 2008. Cost for 2 days and a night fire is $300 per student. Class size is absolutely limited to 10 students. No exceptions. You must shoot from concealment; no tactical or range rigs are allowed.
READ THIS:
There are no training prerequisites but you should be a safe and reasonably proficient shooter. If you can not place 10 rounds of aimed, slow fire onto a 3x5" index card at 7 yards (stolen from Todd G...Thanks), you probably should not sign up for this class. While we will be doing a marksmanship and gun handling review, you must have a basic understanding of safe and accurate pistol handling before you arrive to benefit from this class. This is neither a marksmanship nor a speed shooting class---it is a class to teach you how to use your daily carry pistol in an efficient manner and under a variety of circumstances.
A 50% deposit is required for registration and full payment must be received 15 days before the first day of class.
This class will focus on strengthening your fundamental shooting and gun handling skills specifically from concealed carry positions. It will also deal with some of the unique challenges inherent to carrying and using a concealed handgun. The class will present:
-an abbreviated marksmanship and basic gun handling review
-a discussion and demonstration of various methods of concealed carry
-a discussion of dressing for successful concealed carry
-a discussion and demonstration of “having a gun” vs. “being armed”; concealed vs. covert carry
-various draws from concealment
- reloads from concealment
-the differences between concealed and non-concealed practice sessions
-low light shooting from concealment
-duty/carry ammo muzzle flash comparisons
This class will also cover and provide extensive practice on:
-strong hand only shooting
-weak hand only shooting
-malfunction clearance, strong and weak hand only
-shooting from disadvantaged positions
-basic shooting from cover
-use of flashlights/night sights/visible lasers
The class requires:
-a serviceable pistol or revolver with a minimum caliber of .380 or .38 Special
-a concealment holster and a reasonable way to carry spare ammunition
-an open front and closed front concealment garment
-ear and eye protection
-a way to take notes
-1000 rounds of factory ammunition
-50 rounds of duty/carry ammunition
-20 rounds of ST Action dummy ammunition
-a flashlight appropriate for concealed carry
