Pistol Fighter - Tier 1 - Sculpting the Shooter
Pistol Fighter - Tier 1 - Sculpting the Shooter
Most students come to us with fundamentals of marksmanship based on some form of target shooting. These skills do not always translate into defensive shooting skills. Simply put, paper targets do not shoot back. We take these basic fundamentals you arrived with and forge them into the operationally tested tactics that have been proven on the battle field.
Course Description:
Let us be clear, this is not a basic fundamentals course. Throughout years of service, we observed that the fundamentals we were teaching on a flat shooting range, did not translate seamlessly into our operations. When extreme stress was experienced, the method in which firearms were manipulated changed to fit the situation one faced and the motor skills the shooter had available to them given the situation, and not what we had previously taught them during firearms training. After review of numerous after action briefings, we realized it was time to take a completely fresh look at how we train. Instead of trying to implement fundamental skills that can only be readily applied in low stress environments, we worked backwards and took what we knew shooters were capable of accomplishing during combat and adapted our training to work with those skills rather than fight against them. What resulted was a new system of firearms manipulation that sculpted "paper shooters" into gun fighters who are combat capable. We did not stop at just revamping the skills taught. We reevaluated firearm setup, gear placement, stance and posture, ready gun positions and numerous other factors associated with defensive shooting. So there is no confusion, this is not a theory based system. It is based on facts, statistics and data. If you are being taught or using systems that have not been tested in real world application, you are gambling at the highest stakes. Systems that took years to develop are now available to the masses. The goal of our system is simple: be focused, shoot first, shoot fast. There are no participation trophies for gunfights, only winners and losers.
