    An NRA Precision Pistol match is a three aggregate match, with 90 shots fired during each aggregate. One aggregate is fired with a .22 rimfire, one with any centerfire 32 caliber or larger, and one with a .45 caliber pistol.  Most competitors use two pistols, one .22 rimfire and one .45 ACP 1911-style, to shoot the entire match.  New competitors often us a 22 for the entire match to get the feel for how things work.  Most use semi-automatic pistols but revolvers can also be used. Slow fire will be at 50 yards using B-6 targets.  Timed and rapid fire will be at 25 yards on turning targets using B-8 targets.   Competitors may fire only one or two of the aggregates if time or physical constraints make this a better option.

    Sight in and practice begins at 9:45AM and the match begins 10:00.   This is an NRA Approved match.

    This class teaches practical applications for those who want to become more familiar with their carbine weapon system.

    PURPOSE: Provide the student with foundational knowledge on which to build their skills in the art of self-defense with a carbine. Students will leave this course as educated beginners with a tool kit of drills and practical knowledge on which to practice and build up their proficiency.

    TOPICS: 

    1. Safety Briefing
    2. Range Commands
    3. Class Philosophy - Mindset, Situational Awareness, training with purpose, efficiency. 
    4. Understanding your Weapon System
    5. Use and selection of slings
    6. Fundamentals of Marksmanship - Stance, Grip, Sight Picture, Trigger Control, Recoil Management, Running the Slide, Press-Check
    7. Dry-fire and Live-fire drills, including 
      1.  Understanding “battlefield zero” and use of optics 
      2.   Ammunition Management - tactical and emergency reloads. 
      3.  Recoil Management
      4.  Malfunction Clearing
    8. Debrief/After-Action Discussion

      REQUIREMENTS:

      1. An open mind, willingness to take instruction and the ability to challenge pre-conceived notions we’ve all learned from YouTube instructors and Hollywood.  This course teaches only practical, real-world techniques.
      2. A functional carbine rifle, typically of the AR-15, AK-47 or comparable pistol-caliber carbine (such as a CZ Scorpion).  This class is based upon the AR-15 platform, but techniques can be adapted to other weapons systems.
      3. A sturdy sling fitted to your rifle.  Single point, 2-point and 3-point slings are acceptable, but a 2-point sling is preferred and will be used as the teaching model for the class.  A “Vickers” style 2-point sling is the preferred sling for this class.
      4. At least four hundred (400) rounds of factory-loaded, brass-cased and copper-jacketed ammunition.  No reloaded ammunition or steel-core (armor piercing) rounds are permitted (we will be shooting steel targets).  Steel-cased ammunition is not recommended for the AR-15 platform, as it has a tendency to jam if your rifle is not clean.  Please double-check your ammunition if you are using the AK-47 platform – the vast majority of 7.62x39mm ammo is steel core (including the “bi-metal” kind) and cannot be used on steel targets.
      5. Red-dot and magnified optics are permitted (and in fact encouraged).  All optics should be sighted in at twenty-five (25) yards prior to class.  If you have questions about how to properly sight-in your optic, contact the instructor prior to class.  Back-up iron sights are recommended, but not required.
      6. Weather conditions are often rapidly changing in North Carolina, so please dress appropriately and in layers.  Class is held rain or shine, as you cannot pick the weather for your gunfight.  Please be aware that red-dot optics are rendered mostly useless when they are wet, so back-up irons are strongly recommended if you have a red-dot.
      7. A packed lunch is recommended – food options are limited in the DPRC area and lunch will be held to a strict 1-hour time limit.
      8. Water, lots of it.  Hydration is important, as this will be an active class.

      An NRA Precision Pistol match is a three aggregate match, with 90 shots fired during each aggregate. One aggregate is fired with a .22 rimfire, one with any centerfire 32 caliber or larger, and one with a .45 caliber pistol.  Most competitors use two pistols, one .22 rimfire and one .45 ACP 1911-style, to shoot the entire match.  New competitors often us a 22 for the entire match to get the feel for how things work.  Most use semi-automatic pistols but revolvers can also be used. Slow fire will be at 50 yards using B-6 targets.  Timed and rapid fire will be at 25 yards on turning targets using B-8 targets.   Competitors may fire only one or two of the aggregates if time or physical constraints make this a better option.

      Sight in and practice begins at 9:45AM and the match begins 10:00.   This is an NRA Approved match.

      Info

      PISTOL GUNFIGHTING 2 

      This is our flagship course and takes you as far as you can safely go on a square range with live-fire pistols. The dynamic curriculum surpasses traditional handgun methods commonly taught in most institutions and focuses of the use of the proactive and reactive use of the pistol in aggressive close quarters applications likely in individual civilian street encounters.

      The class begins with a tune-up of the fundamentals, then we progress quickly to new skills such as Proactive and Reactive Manipulations, Shooting While Moving, Counter Ambush Skills, Dynamic Displacement Off The X, Reality-Based Multiple Hostiles Engagement, 360 degree CQB Movement, Bilateral Shooting, 360 degree After Action Assessment Methods, and more. This is the life-saving material that is often ignored in sport-centric training schools. 

      We must point out that this course is not for the novice shooter . If you have not received basic instruction, or have a question about your skill level, please call us first.

      This class teaches additional practical applications for those who carry concealed handguns.  It's a great class for those with new Concealed Carry handgun permits but no follow-up training.  It is NOT the class which qualifies you to obtain a NC Concealed Carry permit.
        PURPOSE: Provide the student with foundational knowledge on which to build their skills in the art of self-defense with a handgun. Students will leave this course with an intermediate tool kit of drills and practical knowledge, to include weak hand shooting, unconventional shooting positions and shooting on the move.
        • Topics: 

        1. Safety Briefing
        2. Range Commands
        3. Class Philosophy - Mindset, Situational Awareness, training with purpose, efficiency. 
        4. Review of weapons system choices. 
        5. Fundamentals of Marksmanship - Stance, Grip, Sight Picture, Trigger Control, Recoil Management, Running the Slide, Press-Check
        6. Drawing from holster and safe re-holstering
        7. Dry-fire and Live-fire drills, including  
          1. Ammunition Management - tactical and emergency reloads. 
          2. Recoil Management
          3.  Malfunction Clearing
        8. Debrief/After-Action Discussion
        • REQUIREMENTS:
        1. An open mind, willingness to take instruction and the ability to challenge pre-conceived notions we’ve all learned from YouTube instructors and Hollywood.  This course teaches only practical, real-world techniques.
        2. A functional, compact or duty-sized semi-automatic handgun with at least three (3) magazines (Glock 19 or larger).  Subcompact (Glock 26, SIG P938) handguns or revolvers are permitted, but discouraged, as you will spend likely more time loading magazines than shooting. If shooting a subcompact, at least six (6) magazines are recommended.
        3. A strong-side holster with a sturdy belt and multiple-magazine carrier.  Appendix carry, small of back, cross-draw, purses, belly bands and shoulder holsters will not be permitted in this class; however, all these forms of carry will be discussed.  It is more efficient and safer to teach the class with everyone using the same gear.  For safety reasons, no holsters with active retention (SERPA holsters) will be permitted.  A molded Kydex holster manufactured specifically for your model of firearm is highly recommended, but leather holsters are also acceptable.  If you are in doubt, please contact the instructor prior to class.
        4. At least three hundred (300) rounds of factory-loaded, copper-jacketed ammunition.  No reloaded ammunition or steel-core (armor piercing) rounds are permitted.
        5. Red-dot optics are permitted (and in fact encouraged).  Red dot sights should be sighted in at ten (10) yards prior to class.  If you have questions about how to properly sight-in your optic, contact the instructor prior to class.
        6. Weather conditions are often rapidly changing in North Carolina, so please dress appropriately and in layers.  Class is held rain or shine, as you cannot pick the weather for your gunfight.  Closed-toe shoes are required. 
        7. A packed lunch is recommended – food options are limited in the DPRC area and lunch will be held to a strict 1-hour time limit.
        8. Water, lots of it.  Hydration is important, as this will be an active class.

          This class teaches practical applications for those who want to become more familiar with their carbine weapon system.

          PURPOSE: Provide the student with foundational knowledge on which to build their skills in the art of self-defense with a carbine. Students will leave this course as educated beginners with a tool kit of drills and practical knowledge on which to practice and build up their proficiency.

          TOPICS: 

          1. Safety Briefing
          2. Range Commands
          3. Class Philosophy - Mindset, Situational Awareness, training with purpose, efficiency. 
          4. Understanding your Weapon System
          5. Use and selection of slings
          6. Fundamentals of Marksmanship - Stance, Grip, Sight Picture, Trigger Control, Recoil Management, Running the Slide, Press-Check
          7. Dry-fire and Live-fire drills, including 
            1.  Understanding “battlefield zero” and use of optics 
            2.   Ammunition Management - tactical and emergency reloads. 
            3.  Recoil Management
            4.  Malfunction Clearing
          8. Debrief/After-Action Discussion

            REQUIREMENTS:

            1. An open mind, willingness to take instruction and the ability to challenge pre-conceived notions we’ve all learned from YouTube instructors and Hollywood.  This course teaches only practical, real-world techniques.
            2. A functional carbine rifle, typically of the AR-15, AK-47 or comparable pistol-caliber carbine (such as a CZ Scorpion).  This class is based upon the AR-15 platform, but techniques can be adapted to other weapons systems.
            3. A sturdy sling fitted to your rifle.  Single point, 2-point and 3-point slings are acceptable, but a 2-point sling is preferred and will be used as the teaching model for the class.  A “Vickers” style 2-point sling is the preferred sling for this class.
            4. At least four hundred (400) rounds of factory-loaded, brass-cased and copper-jacketed ammunition.  No reloaded ammunition or steel-core (armor piercing) rounds are permitted (we will be shooting steel targets).  Steel-cased ammunition is not recommended for the AR-15 platform, as it has a tendency to jam if your rifle is not clean.  Please double-check your ammunition if you are using the AK-47 platform – the vast majority of 7.62x39mm ammo is steel core (including the “bi-metal” kind) and cannot be used on steel targets.
            5. Red-dot and magnified optics are permitted (and in fact encouraged).  All optics should be sighted in at twenty-five (25) yards prior to class.  If you have questions about how to properly sight-in your optic, contact the instructor prior to class.  Back-up iron sights are recommended, but not required.
            6. Weather conditions are often rapidly changing in North Carolina, so please dress appropriately and in layers.  Class is held rain or shine, as you cannot pick the weather for your gunfight.  Please be aware that red-dot optics are rendered mostly useless when they are wet, so back-up irons are strongly recommended if you have a red-dot.
            7. A packed lunch is recommended – food options are limited in the DPRC area and lunch will be held to a strict 1-hour time limit.
            8. Water, lots of it.  Hydration is important, as this will be an active class.

            An NRA Precision Pistol match is a three aggregate match, with 90 shots fired during each aggregate. One aggregate is fired with a .22 rimfire, one with any centerfire 32 caliber or larger, and one with a .45 caliber pistol.  Most competitors use two pistols, one .22 rimfire and one .45 ACP 1911-style, to shoot the entire match.  New competitors often us a 22 for the entire match to get the feel for how things work.  Most use semi-automatic pistols but revolvers can also be used. Slow fire will be at 50 yards using B-6 targets.  Timed and rapid fire will be at 25 yards on turning targets using B-8 targets.   Competitors may fire only one or two of the aggregates if time or physical constraints make this a better option.

            Sight in and practice begins at 9:45AM and the match begins 10:00.   This is an NRA Approved match.

            An NRA Precision Pistol match is a three aggregate match, with 90 shots fired during each aggregate. One aggregate is fired with a .22 rimfire, one with any centerfire 32 caliber or larger, and one with a .45 caliber pistol.  Most competitors use two pistols, one .22 rimfire and one .45 ACP 1911-style, to shoot the entire match.  New competitors often us a 22 for the entire match to get the feel for how things work.  Most use semi-automatic pistols but revolvers can also be used. Slow fire will be at 50 yards using B-6 targets.  Timed and rapid fire will be at 25 yards on turning targets using B-8 targets.   Competitors may fire only one or two of the aggregates if time or physical constraints make this a better option.

            Sight in and practice begins at 9:45AM and the match begins 10:00.   This is an NRA Approved match.
