PreRequisites: Basic Defensive Pistol/CCW
OVERVIEW:
The CCW Using the Holster Course is specifically designed to take the basic CCW Permit holder to the next level of competence at a reduced level of time, money and ammo vice Level One Tactical Pistol. SAFETY is the underlying lesson of the course, Wolverine School will issue the graduate a Certificate of Completion that will qualify as the required CCW renewal class required by the Colorado Statute.
The course consists of safety instruction, followed by repetitions of the techniques of the Right Angle Draw Stroke: Safely accessing, pulling, rotating, joining (obtaining the two-handed grip), extending and effectively placing shots on target. For new students the introduction of the Hi Ready position further prepares the student to efficiently and safely use his firearm in self-defense. The Holster class is designed, using learning models and researched methods of handgun presentation, to create a safe gunhandler in these critical aspects of concealed handgun carry and use. As always our criteria is seeing that you are better when you leave than when you arrived.
Since the course introduces the Right Angle Draw Stroke it also provides a stepping stone to Advanced CCW Techniques offered by Wolverine School.
Wolverine are also offering Tactical Pistol classes which include a Level One and Level Two Tactical Pistol Class. A reasonable progression would be from the Basic Pistol/CCW Class to either the CCW Using the Holster and/or the Level One Tactical Pistol Class and so on. There is an intensively hands on Force-on-Force/Shoot-No Shoot class for a greater practical experience in armed confrontations.
