Defensive Handgun Skills (Handgun 104)
Defensive Handgun Skills (Handgun 104) This is a fast-paced course with one common objective: surviving a deadly force encounter armed with a handgun. After a brief assessment, instructors will run the students through the gauntlet of defensive handgun drills designed to increase time on target and performance. This is not an entry level course; students are expected to have already mastered basic handgun skills, safety, and foundational shooting drills.
Prerequisite This is an intermediate level class. The student needs to know and be able to demonstrate safe gun handling, weapon system familiarity, foundational marksmanship skills, and working from a holster.
We strongly recommend completion of Intermediate Practical Handgun Skills (Handgun 103) or its equivalent prior to registering for this course.
