Our Advanced Handgun training builds off of our Defender Series of classes (or other intermediate classes you may have taken). This class is NOT for new or inexperienced shooters.  Participants will be introduced to the fundamentals of defensive shooting in the context of a critical incident that could take place during a home invasion or in a public setting.  Practical training includes target engagement at varying distances, multiple targets, unconventional shooting positions, movement, cover and concealment, reloads, and stoppages.
