This course will present a chronological history of handgun skills and drills, paired with the guns most commonly associated with those skills and drills. Lecture material will focus on the most influential shooters and trainers from different eras, and their specific contributions to the field of defensive handgunning. Additionally, the 2 day course will include a session in which students re-shoot some of the historical drills using whatever firearm and technique they believe will give them the highest score on the drill, to compare the relative differences between historical and modern skills.

1/2 day format is shooting only, no lecture, shot with one firearm type

1 day format is shooting and part lecture, shot with one firearm type.

The full 2 day course includes all the drills and all the lecture material. Students can use a single handgun for the course, or bring additional guns to qualify for the 2-gun and 4-gun challenge coins (details below).
