Everyone can hit a static target placed directly in front of them, but can you identify and engage a threat that is constantly moving within a crowd of innocent bystanders?
There is no such thing as an adversary who will stand two dimensionally static and let you fire upon him. All adversaries, in reality, are moving with innocent bystanders in the foreground and background. 100% accuracy is the standard when you are responsible for all rounds fired. This course will instruct you on moving and shooting efficiently with your pistol in order to take down the threat without harming bystanders.
All GORUCK Firearms Courses and Events utilize scenario based training which is incorporated into dry practice prior to any live fire. All participants will practice target identification and discrimination, movement, weapons manipulation, and other dynamic drills with the cadre and others. These drills will be facilitated with inert weapons enabling a safe and realistic training environment. Both pistols and rifles will be rendered inert with barrel/chamber blocking plugs. Further, each student must fully participate in dry practice prior to commencing live fire.
This course focuses on shooting and moving and is not recommended for beginners.
Participants should already be proficient in the following skills:
● Safety skills
● Flat range static shooting
● Shoot 70% on a 30 round course of fire from 12 meters
In an effort to put participants in the right mindset we perform short duration physical stressors throughout the training day. All courses develop skill sets that would be utilized in a high stress, worst case scenario. This is simulated in training by elevating the heart rate through movements such as sprints, burpees, pushups and others exercises.
