Self-Defense Mindset & Awareness - Avoid the Fight!

What is the best way to win a fight?….. Don’t get in one.

Not everyone wants to, or feels comfortable with, carrying a firearm. We believe that making that decision is a very responsible thing to do. However, just because you choose not to, doesn’t mean you can neglect personal safety all together.

As we have seen time and again, the world is a very dangerous place. And it seems to be getting worse as the weeks go by. Violent crime is rising to all-time highs, and the moment you tell yourself that it cant happen to you, will be the moment you find yourself in a very serious situation that likely could have been avoided. So how do we avoid these situations and keep ourselves and those around us safe and secure?

Mindset. Situational awareness. Paying attention to your surroundings and not getting distracted are key elements in personal safety. During this discussion we will discuss tools to use in danger avoidance. We will discuss cues and tell-tale signs of a potential threat, reading body language, avoidance and de-escalation techniques. We will talk about methods you can use to stay vigilant without looking paranoid.

This discussion is open to all ages. It is a good chance to have younger community members learn about how to help protect themselves without ever needing to engage with a potential threat.

Cost: $25

Light snacks, beverages, and note taking items will be provided.

Pistol Development - Level II - Minden, NV

The Pistol Development - Level II course is an intermediate level course designed for the mid range shooter that the basic fundamentals down solid and is looking to elevate thier shooting skill.

This 5-hour period of instruction reviews all aspects of pistol handling at a moderate pace before progressing into movement shooting, and more. Often times in development-style classes, there is a lot of information presented to the student quickly with little time to reinforce. Our philosophy and format, as with any of our courses, is for the student to actively participate verbally and physically by integrating a back and forth dialogue as well as visual demonstrations by the instructors and hands-on learning by the student. The “Hear-See-Do” method of learning, we have found, promotes the most information retention and overall success of our students.

This course consists of range safety, fundamentals of marksmanship review, multiple target engagements, shooting on the move, shooting from unorthodox positions, stress inoculation, and scenario based exercises to put the students skills to the test while introducing complex motor skills and critical thinking and problem solving, while confronting the threat.

the course cost is $250.00, and a 20% deposit is required to enroll. Deposits can be made through our “Deposits” tab, then choose the appropriate course selection from the options available.

You will need to bring the firearm of your choice, holster, at least 2 magazines, at least on magazine carrier, a minimum of 250 rounds of ammunition, eye protection, and hearing protection. The more ammo you bring, the more opportunity to run drills.
