Alternative Shooting Positions (1 Day, $195.00)

This course will give defensive and competitive shooters the skills and confidence required to make those tricky shots that won’t work or make sense while standing.  The three main alternative pistol shooting positions coved and performed in the course will be the various prone positions, various kneeling positions and various seated positions. Other positions will also be discussed and covered.  Upon completion of the course shooters will be able to safely and effectively fire from multiple alternative shooting positions other than just standing.

 

Close Quarter Pistol Tactics (1 Day, $195.00)

Most deadly force encounters with firearms occur within 7 feet and last only 3-5 seconds with an average of 3 shots fired.  Do your defensive firearms training practices or skills meet the requirements of these likely encounters?  Only you know the answer to that question.  The world class SIGARMS Academy is offering this course to improve your skills and increase you survivability in such an encounter.  We provide this training at suitable locations throughout the world. The focus of the course will be how to safely and effectively employ a firearm in tight quarters within a split second of time.  During the seminar you will gain the skills and confidence to mitigate threats where they will most likely come from; up close.  Students of the Close Quarter Pistol Seminar will receive intensive training with a SIGARMS Academy world class firearms instructor and will have “a plan of action” in place if and when faced with a deadly threat.

 

Low Light Pistol Operators Course (1 Day, $195.00)

Consider the facts; At least fifty percent of the time you are in a low light environment. About sixty percent of deadly force encounters in the U.S. occur in low light environments. Are you ready for short time duration, close proximity, low light encounter? You will be, after attending this course. The objective of this course is to develop the skills and confidence required to prevail with the pistol in low light conditions. Upon completion of the low light course you will have the tools and knowledge to perform low light shooting techniques. Shooters will learn how to effectively and safely move with a flashlight, corner with a flashlight and fire
with one. This course will cover ambient light and equipment considerations as well to make sure you have the right tool for the anticipated low light environment

Shooting Outside of your Comfort Zone (1 Day, $195.00)

For a variety of reasons shooters often don’t challenge themselves in ways that allow them to shoot to their full potential. Thru a combination of discussion and range exercises, we will explore various techniques that will allow the shooter to refine their shooting skills and begin to approach skill levels that, while perhaps uncomfortable at first, will push them beyond their current shooting level.

 

Shooting on the Move (1 Day, $195.00)

Moving and Shooting is one of those mysterious feats that is counter intuitive to most shooters. Maintaining a stable muzzle on the intended target while aggressing, escaping or moving to cover is absolutely essential to assure success. In today’s ever fluid environment of Combat or Competition this is a must take class! This course is designed to develop the shooter from static mode to dynamic mode incorporating realistic moving and shooting drills.  Shooters will develop the skills to shoot on the move as well as turn and shoot from various distances at sometimes multiple targets.  Upon completion of the course shooters will have the confidence matched with the skills to effectively and literally shoot on the move.  This course is ideal for the defensive or competitive shooter who wants a challenge and wishes to refine their skills.  

 

Instructors for the courses will be provided by Sigarms academy. A minimum of 12 students is needed to schedule any course. Contact DSM for course dates and signup information at
