TACTICAL FIREARMS TRAINING
For the intermediate to advanced shooter, we offer tactical firearms training to build upon your tactical skills. This course covers a variety of drills and exercises designed to challenge and enhance your tactical skills and mental aptitude in the event of a firefight. During live-fire drills, paper silhouette targets are only used for shot placement and perfecting accuracy. This course goes deeper into understanding "Stopping Power" or more importantly "Shot Placement", proper ammunition and the ballistic effects of the type of ammunition you use on the target. Fresh meat and ballistic gelatin is used to study the effects of the ammunition on the target to include: entrance / exit wounds, wound channel, organ damage, etc.
We will examine the ballistic effects of the ammunition on the target to help determine the best and most effective loads to use.
