Hardwired Tactical Shooting (HiTS) First Responder Pistol
“Confronting Evil”
HiTS is proud to announce the premiere of its “First Responder Pistol” course to be held on 09/29/30 through 09/30/2012 in Carrollton, TX (North Dallas area). This class is a comprehensive, intensively fundamental and professionally relevant presentation for the use of the service pistol in self-defense and law enforcement service. This training will be appropriate for those who have CHLs and desire a solid grounding in the use of the pistol in real world self-defense; for the law enforcement officer/trainer who desires to enhance their level of professional knowledge and competence with their duty pistol and the private citizen who has some skill and knowledge with the handgun, but desires to travel the path to full competence with the defensive pistol.
Topics to be presented include:
• The Combat Triad of mindset, marksmanship and manipulations
• Firearm safety considerations for the real world use of the tactical pistol
• Hardwired responses with the service handgun, including real world marksmanship, mental preparation and handling skills techniques
• The Two Seconds Standards, a new approach to street relevant pistol skills
• Single and multiple threat engagement options
• Tactical movement techniques
• Assessments of individual skillsets and plans to improve those capabilities
• Intensive drill work to “hardwire” the brain for responses needed for the student to prevail in street encounters…not just survive
This class will be taught by principal HiTS Instructors Wayne Dobbs and Darryl Bolke, whose bios can be viewed at www.hardwiredtacticalshooting.com (site is under construction, but bios are viewable).
