    This two day (12 hr) course will build on the foundation developed in the Level 1 Course and begin to introduce stress into the equation. In any defensive shooting scenario, the effects of stress will raise the difficulty to a whole new extreme. After WWII the US military believed that it would be able to rise to any level of conflict it could face and in Vietnam we learned the hard lesson that people naturally revert to their base level of training under stress. Our goal is to raise your base level to that next step so you can comfortably perform under pressure. This class will introduce multiple targets, barricades, shot timers, and more to raise your heart rate and allow you to experience the beginning stages of that stress factor. Once you’re armed with the knowledge, you can learn to defeat it. This is designed as a two day course but we understand busy schedules and each day can be taken individually.

    • Handgun

    • Approximately 400 rds per day
