Red Dawn Range

OVERVIEW:

Level One Tac Pistol begins with a refresher in Safe Gun Handling:  What it means to “treat every firearm as if it were loaded”, i.e., the Three Rules of Safe Gun Handling.  Training is all on the range concentrating on various scenarios and drills.  The Right-Angle Draw Stroke will be drilled in detail as will the intermediate carry position we call the Hi Ready.  Your carry techniques, holsters, firearms choice will be discussed until you are happy.  Ammunition; shooting fundamentals; dry-fire training; shooting hand and support hand shooting; shooting hand and support hand one-handed reduction of malfunctions and reloading: shooting from standing, kneeling, seated, prone positions; shooting on the move.  There are numerous timed drills designed to place stress on the student and inoculate against future stressful situations.

Level One concentrates on perfect practice and the training of the mind.  This is to say that all movements and techniques are pursued in very slow motion.  This allows the mind to process each nervous impulse needed to complete the movement/technique to perfection.  Toward the end of the day the pace may pick up depending on the increasing perfection of the student in performing the technique or movement.

Level Two will take the skills developed here in Level One to the perfected and much faster performance you desire.  In the meantime, the slow practice will produce/provide the faster execution as needed, even before Level Two physical and mental training.

Students will receive a course completion certificate.  This course requires about 8 hours on the range including discussion to complete.
