Friends,
I’m so pleased to announce that I’m hosting Brian Hill of the Complete Combatant for three days of teaching in the Bandera area at the end of February! Brian is one of a handful of Rangemaster-certified Master Instructors, and one of the finest instructors and best shooters I know. Let’s just say that when I grow up, I aspire to be half as skilled and knowledgeable as Brian at both teaching and shooting.
I hope you can find the time and budget to attend one, two, or all three days of training! This is truly world-class content. Summaries and registration links just below, full details below that.

Friday, Feb 26, 5-8pm: Image Based Decisional Drills "THE CLASS" Classroom version using Pistol replicas/Blue guns/SIRT trainers.
People carry a lot of gear but gear does not solve the problem….YOU do.
There are very few dry practice or range exercises for the private citizen that focus on making lethal, less than lethal and non lethal decisions quickly. Our 4 hour Image Based Decisional Drill CLASSES are intended to fill in the gap in learning how to make decisions using images to provoke a response, decide which TOOL to use, and then ACT on that decision. From the time that a bad guy chooses you, you will have a very limited amount of time to make a decision. THEY choose how and when. Your actions need to be confident, quick and decisive.
In all scenarios the image is happening to YOU, in front of YOU, beside YOU or behind YOU. YOU are your first responder and decisions need to be made quickly.
* Classroom, dry practice.
* Pressure testing under realistic time constraints with feedback for improvement.
* Visual cueing
* Pre-need decision making
* Tool cycling
* Distance management
* Strategy changes
* All levels of experience are welcome. The benefits are the same for everybody. The more experience you have, the more "tools" can be introduced. If you have training in additional areas of self protection like jacks, saps, edged weapons, etc. then add these to your scenario. Also, your cognitive stacking may be quicker and easier so challenge yourself!
Saturday, Feb 27 9am-6pm: Pistol Essentials is The Complete Combatant's 1 day "basic pistol class". Both IRON sights and RED DOT sights are welcome in this class! FUNDAMENTALS are the key to everything! Pistol Essentials is designed to introduce you to defensive shooting and help improve your skills. In this class you will learn the importance of stance, grip, sights, follow through and trigger through dry practice and live fire. We will introduce "presenting from a holster" and practice drawing during dry fire/ live fire. We will cover shooting from common positions seen in defensive shooting with a higher level of accuracy. Pistol Essentials will teach you how to practice, how to measure your skill and how to TEST yourself.
* Dry Practice with inert plastic guns
* "Call" your shots
* "Watchful partner" drill
* Visiting accuracy accountability through “timed” standards
* Shooting from varying distances (up to 25 yards)
* STANDARDS & QUALIFICATIONS
* Much much more!
