This intermediate course will focus on the defensive use of a handgun in the urban environment with heavy emphasis on maneuvering through and around common urban obstacles while engaging threats. We will fire from and around vehicles, walls and barricades, simulated objects of cover/concealment such as fire hydrants, trash receptacles, telephone poles and the like.

This intermediate class will focus on the short-range marksmanship problems associated with using a long gun (shotgun or rifle) in an urban environment. Students will learn techniques for using the long gun effectively indoors, in outdoor close confined spaces, and in and around automobiles.

This intermediate course is designed for the shooter who wishes to develop the skills to engage small targets with a high degree of probability for first round hits. This includes sportsman as well as hunters. We will discuss equipment selection, the fundamentals for precision rifle marksmanship, supported field positions, ballistics, and ammunition considerations. Shooting will primarily be done at 100 and 200 yards. This course is designed for a rifle with a telescopic sighting device, preferable of at least 7 power magnification. During this class, we will be walking to the target and back. Please wear comfortable boots for such activity.

The four-hour class goes beyond static shooting. Once the student has demonstrated sound fundamentals, the movement begins. This class will teach movement on the draw, movement during reloads, movement before and after the shooting process, and shooting while moving.

This intermediate course is presented as a means of distilling the f process of the handgun presentation and the shot process employment in a rapidly unfolding, and demanding set of circumstances. The course will utilize the Steel Challenge competition course to refine the draw stroke, trigger press, sight acquisition, slide lock reloads, strong hand and weak hand shooting, and movement to cover. This course will not focus on tactics so much as faster shooting with acceptable accuracy for the situation. Enrollment for this class is limited to students who have had some basic training and can safely draw to a target and reliably hit an 8 inch circle at 15 yards.

This class will focus on the foundational skills used to clear rooms, buildings, and other structures. The techniques taught in this class are all well vetted and currently in use in a variety of venues by armed professionals.
