Training to Live and Win: Intermediate Personal Protection
Primary instructors:
John Boch, John Naese, Jeff Schwarm, Frank Wright.
Class Dates & Location:
- October 9 & 10, 2010: Darnall's GunWorks and Ranges, Bloomington, IL (map/directions - click here)
Class runs from 9am - ~6pm Saturday and 9am - ~5pm Sunday.
Training to Live and Win is geared towards the carry license holder or anyone serious about prudently approaching the use of deadly force in self-defense. Many of the topics and skills will carry over for the competition shooter as well.
This class will build upon training received in NRA beginner classes relating to many aspects of the judicious use of deadly force against both armed and "unarmed" adversaries. Students will learn decision making in high-stress situations and how to articulate dangerous circumstances in explaining their reactions to potentially crippling or lethal threats in post-shooting interrogations. This training will include "shoot - don't shoot" scenarios on a shooting simulator, including critique.
Instruction will also include proper draw and reholstering, reloading, engaging close-range threats, low-light shooting skills with tactical lights, malfunction clearing, shooting around barricades/cover and more.
