New Training Course - C.M.S. training Beginning as of 3-21-2021
Communicate Move Shoot
This course is designed for shooters of all stages from beginner to experienced. This course can be simply added on at the end of the completion of a HQL or a Concealed carry course for just $100.00.
You may also choose to select this course on a future date with an additional cost of $110.00.
This course and scenarios are designed to incorporate all the skills you have obtained from your HQL or Concealed Carry training. Safety is our number one priority, an experienced instructor will be within an arm’s reach of you at all times. We will first demonstrate the course and all students will then perform the scenarios with a training handgun. “No live ammunition will be issued” until you can safely and confidently negotiate the course.
What is Communicate Move Shoot?
- Communication - You will simulate communicating with your family in your home, communicating with Emergency services, and you will communicate/issue verbal commands to the intruder/attacker.
- Examples - "I have a firearm leave my home, police are in route".
- Move - You will then move with your handgun to cover (a constructed wooden barricade position) simulating cover. This is to train you to put a solid object between you and your attacker for your safety.
- Shoot - When your verbal commands have failed and the attackers intent is to cause you or your family serious bodily injury or death you will apply all 7 fundamentals of shooting while positioned behind cover. These scenarios are also designed for concealed carry holders while in public and common areas. Our course is designed to give the student a minimum of 3 real-world scenarios that will be safely conducted and supervised by our staff.
This course will give you the training and knowledge to apply all that you have learned in prior courses in a safe and controlled environment to prepare you and your family in the event of a violent attack.
Using a firearm is always a last resort when all else has fails. Let our staff train and prepare you in the event that you have no other choice.
