The REACT Experience
In today’s environment, the question comes up as to whether civilians can handle critical situations as a community. Especially, in areas where the community doesn’t feel the government can or will protect them to their satisfaction. This course is designed to students the opportunity to experience the intensity and complexities of what it’s like to deal with a true tactical situation.

Defensive Handgun (Tier III)
This is the last course of the defensive handgun series. In this course we deal with situations and conditions that aren’t “ideal.” Situations that aren’t just draw, present, aim, and shoot; whether stationary, mobile, or against multiple threats. Hopefully, this course answers many of those “what if” questions that arise because of what happens in the course of our daily lives. This class is more about reaction and response than any particular shooting technique or style.
