June 7-8 Close Range Gunfighting Chattanooga

[Cruel Hand Luke]

I know some of you have been waiting for this one to get up on the schedule so here it is...the flagship course of the Suarez catalog...Close Range Gunfighting! 



CLOSE RANGE GUNFIGHTING
June 7-8, 2014
Price $350
Chattanooga, Tennessee
Instructor: Randy Harris

This is our flagship course and goes as far as you can safely go on a square range with live-fire pistols. The dynamic curriculum surpasses the traditional handgun methods commonly taught in most institutions and focuses of the use of the pistol in aggressive close range 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 Off The X, Reality-Based Multiple Hostiles Engagement, 360 degree CQB Movement, Danger-Close Fighting, Bilateral Shooting, 360 degree After Action Assessment Methods, and Integrating the Flashlight and Other Tools into the Firing Platform. This is the life-saving material that is often ignored in many other programs. In two days, you will receive more information than most armed professionals ever get!

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 one is getting closer. June is not that far off for those planning ahead......

[Cruel Hand Luke]

A little over a month to go on this one.  This class will take your personal protection skills to the next level.

 

Most pistol gunfights are less than 7 yards. Yet most people practice for them by trying to shoot tiny groups at distances 7 yards and farther. That is like practicing to run a race by standing still....instead of trying to shoot tiny groups at distance maybe we should spend more time working on recognizing the cues of impending criminal assault, reacting to it before it is too late, using our hands if we need to in order to create an opening,  getting our gun into the fight (practicing drawing your gun), and making fast accurate fight stopping hits while NOT GETTING HIT, and keeping our gun running if it malfunctions or runs out of ammo. THAT is what we will work on in this class. If you want to learn what really works and what to practice to prepare you for defensive shooting this is the class for you.

Hey Randy, should be signing up for this one soon - just got to get settled in from this move and make sure my income is stable before I drop the coin for this. Looking forward to getting back out there and learning some new stuff.

[Cruel Hand Luke]

Hope you can make it. It will change the way you look at pistol training. 

[Cruel Hand Luke]

OK guys and gals...we are about 2 weeks out on this class.

 

As I mentioned above, it will change the way you view pistol training. Standing still and using the sights works well when you are behind cover and have the initiative....but when the range is close (less than 7 yards) the bad guy gets to start the fight (as they normally do) then standing still and looking for the sights is a good way to get shot, stabbed or beaten. This class is not about SHOOTING a pistol it is about FIGHTING with a pistol and getting the pistol into the fight. Hope to see you there!

ONE WEEK TO GO! Hope to see some TGO members there!
