Defensive Handgun (Tier II)

Defensive Handgun (Tier II)

Course date is not available.

Where Tier I is an introduction to the defense mindset utilizing appropriate dry and live fire exercises, Tier II is the heart, the core of defensive pistol. It delves into actual defense situations and issues, utilizing proven techniques for both indoor and outdoor threats. The course looks at choices for the armed person; escape and evade, engagement, and clearing. This is the “PRACTICALs” class to try, test how each student does utilizing their preferred techniques… an opportunity to refine, re-think if necessary, shooting techniques for each student. Not a prior SMD Student? It is NOT a requirement to have taken Tier I. This course allows you to practice techniques you do and is an opportunity to adjust, tweak, or learn new techniques for defensive shooting.
