Classroom to Range: OODA‑driven Instruction
The course integrates classroom concepts—presentation, OODA‑loop thinking, threat assessment—with immediate application on the line so techniques are practiced, not just described.
Extended, Supervised Range Time
After the classroom segment, the workshop devotes substantial range time to sight alignment, magazine changes, follow‑through and engagement drills under instructor supervision.
Small Classes and Personalized Options
Classes are kept small to maximize individual coaching, and private personalized sessions are available for those seeking one‑on‑one instruction.
