(Starting Point Class) - Intro to Handguns is the start to our handgun curriculum and is the required pre-req for Handgun Fundamentals and Concealed Carry 101. These other Level 1 classes require students to have their own handgun and are paired with an Intro on the same weekend to allow students the opportunity to create their own 2 day class. Our other entry point into our handgun curriculum is Defensive Handgun which is required for all of our higher level handgun classes. (See Full List)
Concealed Carry 101 was born out of the need to quickly and efficiently get students "up and running" with self-defense and concealed carry handgun skills. We frequently pair this class on a weekend with our Level 1: Intro to Handguns class, which is the mandatory pre-requisite for this class, to give students an opportunity to train for an entire weekend.
Defensive Handgun is the required pre-req for our Handgun Special Interest Seminars. This class is frequently paired up with the Carbine Moving/Shooting seminar. (See Full List)
Shooting at moving targets and shooting while moving are two things we always need more practice at. In addition to more reps on the skills we learned in Tac Rifle or Close Quarter's Carbine, we will also shoot the mover on the carbine range which is usually only shot during Precision Rifle. It is also one that is nearly impossible to practice on a public range, so this special interest seminar gives F.A.S. graduates the chance to refresh these skills under the watchful eye of our instructors.
The combat shotgun is one of the easiest weapons to learn to shoot, but also one of the hardest to truly master. In Advanced Defensive Shotgun we will train the student in the following areas of tactical shotgun use: long range shotgunning, moving targets, multiple targets, multiple hits, low light, use of horizontal and vertical cover both strong side and weak side, moving and shooting and man-on-man competitions.
We live in a three-dimensional world. Unfortunately, most firearms training is not designed for that. Real life violence does not always present itself with a textbook shot that is most often practiced on a static range.
In this FAS seminar we’ll go beyond ‘Center Mass’ to teach you more about proper shot placement, as well as shot angles. Anatomical considerations and the mechanism of bullet damage will also be discussed. You’ll be put into shooting drill scenarios that will help you understand where your bullets need to hit to be effective.
From conversational distances out to the practical limits of an attack, you’ll learn where to place your rounds to get your adversary to stop as quickly as possible.
This 2-day course picks up where Level 2: Defensive Handgun leaves off and goes more in depth into aspects of concealed carry and home defense.
