INSTRUCTOR: Reality Based Firearms Training and Tactics (John Czerwinski - bio)

The Advanced Defensive Handgun class is a one day class for experienced shooters, designed to increase the speed and accuracy on target in a deadly force self-defense situation. We accomplish this through the use of dynamic drills that require shooting from different types of cover or positions and evaluating where a student can increase their efficiency. THIS IS NOT A BEGINNER LEVEL CLASS - this class is for well-versed students only. Shooters who cannot maintain safe weapons manipulation will be pulled from the class or downgraded to dryfire or airsoft weapons.

This class offers a fast-paced curriculum for shooters who have mastered the fundamentals and have a good amount of training behind them. After a very quick refresher, students will take a deeper look at improving marksmanship and correcting the bad habits, especially as they relate to fast defensive shooting. The class features a high round count through multiple shots on multiple targets, from multiple positions, and with multi-directional movement. Moving targets are introduced as well as live-action role-playing to build critical decision making skills. Students also learn how to work with a partner or team and gain a basic understanding of tactics, including room entry and clearing.

Areas covered during this class:

• Dealing with violence of action and post-shooting issues
• Building technique to improve fundamentals: grip, stance, sight picture, sight alignment, trigger control, follow-through, natural point of aim
• Enhancing skills to shoot accurately, including quickly and with multiple rounds
• Engaging multiple and/or moving targets
• Positional shooting and moving in all directions with weapon system deployed
• Malfunctions and corrective actions with two hands and one hand
• Shooting from non-standard positions with both hands
