Target Focused Shooting / Force-on-Force Workshops
This TFS workshop will teach you how to shoot effectively under realistic conditions. Most assaults are spontaneous, high stress, low light, close range and quick. The statistical norm is to be attacked by one to three assailants, multiple assailants being the rule, not the exception. The majority of gunfights begin within 5′, most of these begin within 2′. The vast majority of gunfights begin within 10′. Under these circumstances, you need combat proven methods that are based on physiological and psychological responses to survival stress, gross motor movements, natural/common motor skills and real-world conditions like rapid movement.
In addition to the skill development inherent to all firearm-training programs, our force-on-force programs incorporate interactive, man-on-man shooting exercises using protective gear and Airsoft training guns. You will also have an opportunity to participate in combat simulations, allowing you to test your skill and judgment against interactive assailants under realistic conditions.
TFS can be taught in a 3-hour Fundamentals of Combat Shooting course without assault simulations or an 8-hour workshop with assault simulations. Custom programs are also available to address a broad range of real-world needs.
