Defensive Handgun (Tier III)

Defensive Handgun (Tier III)

Course date is not available.

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.

$200
