VT: Survival Handgun Course April 14-15 2012 Culpeper, VA

Gents,

Due to a military commitment, this year we only have time for one course. Our first and last open enrollment course will be in April, just eight weeks from this announcement.

If you have any questions feel free to email me at noel@virginia-tactical.com. The weather is already starting to warm up, and I look forward to this Spring course!

Course Information:

This is a 2 day dynamic handgun course that will provide shooters with a foundation to build a solid shooting background. The course will go much farther than the basics, and will drive the shooter past his capabilities and expose weaknesses and strengths from shooters of intermediate to high level proficiency. We will work on speed and accuracy, and drive home the necessity to deliver accurate shots at high speeds in order to survive a gunfight. Shooters are expected to come to this course with an open mind. We will explore all aspects that make a solid gunfighter from mindset to ground shooting. This is an intensive shooting course, so be prepared to sweat.

We do not believe that our techniques are the only way to do a certain skill set; rather, we hope you will try our techniques out and put them through the meatgrinder with your current techniques. At the end of the course you are free to take what you decide will work best for you, and leave what you didn’t like. This is not a course for a beginner, this course is designed to take you past fundamentals and basic marksmanship.

Course Cost:

$300 (100% Satisfaction Guarantee, if you are not satisfied by our instruction by the end of the course we will refund 100% of the cost. If you cannot make the course let us know at least 30 days in advance and we will refund all funds)

What you will learn:

The shooter will not only learn a plethora of skills, but in a unique manner. We teach techniques that will serve as a foundation for follow on techniques throughout the course and real life. We will work on economizing your movements and allow you to be proficient in all aspects of gun fighting. Targets get refaced after every skill set - no shooting on dirty targets for a whole day.

Booyah, I’m in.

I’ve been in need of a reasonably local, pistol-specific class to try and throat-punch the performance plateau I’ve hit.

Any M4C members looking for an opportunity to punch my lamps out…here’s your chance!! :wink:
