Description

Pistol Immersion: Active Shooter is Valor Ridge’s Pistolcraft I and Active Shooter classes combined over 4 consecutive days.  If you carry a pistol or plan to do so, then this class is a must. The course addresses active/school shootings and gunshot trauma care, along with the basics on demand. This class is one of the most comprehensive courses available for the concealed carrying citizen.

You will learn, analyze, and apply lessons that have been paid for in blood and written on the tombstones of others.  This class will require you to confront your deficiencies, but it will also instill confidence that you can and will prevail when the time comes.  The course material includes an extremely wide-range of techniques, drills, and skills.

During the first two days you will be guided through proper marksmanship, draw and presentation of the pistol, mental aspects of fighting such as attitude and purpose, pistol manipulations with one and two hands, stoppage clearances, and shooting while moving.

During the final two days, you will learn: how to treat gunshot wounds, room-clearing techniques, force-on-force scenarios, tune-up marksmanship, low-light shooting, and target discrimination.   You will also experience several drills in which you will negotiate obstacles while shooting, fire from unconventional positions, and shoot and hit targets at what many consider rifle distances.

Training is only open to legal, US Citizens or permanent residents (green card holders) per ITAR  (22 CFR §§120-130)
