This course has prerequisites! See Below

The Advanced CWP program is a two day class, an integration of the defensive gun handling course and our conflict awareness and avoidance classes.

The conflict awareness and avoidance portion is a classroom based course designed to create an awareness of the physical environments and conditions which indicate a dangerous situation is likely to involve the participant in a physical confrontation. 

The participant is trained in field observation techniques and analysis, identification of hostile environments, and levels of awareness. The creation of an open, confidant, and situationally aware person lessens the probability of the participant being selected as a target of opportunity for a criminal attack.

The defensive gun handling class builds upon your experience as a concealable weapons permit holder to sharpen your skills at actually using the weapon in a defensive situation in close quarters fighting as may be seen in the typical parking lot ambush. Multiple skills will be developed through live firing. This is a shooting course which will involve a progression of skills which will make the participant proficient in the techniques appropriate to the worst case combative confrontation that may be encountered, the close range ambush.

Some of the skills to be addressed are drawing from concealment, Tactical ready positioning, point shooting, flash sight picture, instinct firing, tactical positioning, weak hand firing and transition, one handed gun fighting, firing on the move, and "getting off the x".

This portion of the consolidated course will involve a full day on the range. At least 400-500 rounds will be fired.
