Tactical Decision Making - Mooresville, North Carolina

TACTICAL DECISION MAKING - LEVEL 4

Tactics, mindset, and marksmanship are challenged in the most realistic training scenarios possible. This course is a unique and rare opportunity to experience what might actually happen in a lethal force encounter. Anybody can be fast and accurate with enough time spent on the flat range, but that doesn't mean you have what it takes to win the encounter with a determined adversary. This is the ultimate opportunity to test yourself against your fellow gunfighters. You will face scenarios in which you will be individually forced to make shoot/no shoot decisions and negotiate firing in crowded situations, such as public places or home invasions. Your Cadre will test your tactics, mindset, and decision-making in a safe and exciting learning environment.

PHYSICAL CAPABILITIES

In an effort to put participants in the right mindset we perform short duration physical stressors throughout the training day.
