Defensive Pistol Deployment 1/2 Day Course in LaGrande, OR — 2pm to 6pm
COURSE LOCATION: La Grande Rifle & Pistol Club (56758 Oregon Hwy 244 in La Grande, OR)
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
The safe, efficient, accurate draw to first hit may be one of the most important skills you need in order to prevail in a use of force encounter–and it’s far more possible than you think. Building confidence on the range in everyday carry and home defense starts with developing competence in our ability to rapidly deploying the pistol, getting precise hits, and running the gun well. In this course we’ll break down the whys and the hows so you can understand what will work best for you and we’ll give you skills you can work on at home to improve your draw to first hit speed and grow confidence. When assailants outweigh or outnumber you a firearm can help level the playing field but only if you’re able to get the gun into the fight rapidly, efficiently, and safely. IMPORTANT: The course fee includes the $10 per person range fee–we do this as a courtesy so you’ll have one less thing to think of on class day.
This course is ideal for all levels of shooter.
