Every Day Carry Skills in Charlotte, NC
*This is NOT a “basic firearm” class, students must know how their firearm operates and know shooting fundamentals.*
Students will learn the advanced skills of carrying a concealed firearm, how to create enough distance to either getaway or to deploy your firearm from concealment to defend your life, should the need arise. We will now apply these advanced skills in a drill fashion. Training is taught to get the body to “respond” and not go through a delayed process but to actually respond under stress!
Once the classroom portion is completed, we will practice with live-fire range time. Both dry-fire and live-fire practice gives you an idea of how you can practice and conduct good shooting fundamentals on your home range. The goal of shooting fundamentals live-fire is to educate your “trigger” finger! Get it to do what we want it to do, not what it wants to do.
Build constructive habits and learning to move through a draw in a smooth, effective manner. This course is a must for any person who desires to carry a concealed firearm once they have acquired their Concealed Carry Permit.
What you will learn:
- – This course is designed to further your training past the basic Concealed Carry Permit course.
- – To further your skill level and abilities.
- – This is different than a basic or slightly advanced handgun course. Everything we will do in this course will be from your holster or concealment.
- – This class is for people that are serious about protecting themselves and their family or loved ones IF the situation arises.
“The best aspect of the class was moving and shooting and 5 steps to drawing. The class is more than I expected! It is fantastic! Great job and excellent method of teaching.”
– Ray H.
A basic concealed carry course is important, but it’s just that, “basic.” It does NOT give you enough information to be able to protect yourself in a real-world situation. It is essential to apply knowledge as quickly as possible. Learning by doing is still the best single way to learn. Until you can do it repeatedly (like some of the ways below), it might simply be luck. Only practice will provide the real answer.
– Perishable skill without practice
– Practice in front of the mirror at home
– Maximize your time at the range
You need to have a training plan. Going to the range without a plan is like getting in the car and driving with no purpose. When you go to the gym, you have a plan…and you track progress. Just going to the range isn’t enough, you need a plan, and to track your progress.
In this course, you will be provided enough information to help you develop that plan:
- – Practice how you carry, from concealment.
- – If you can’t get to your firearm, it doesn’t matter how accurate you are.
