Essential Holster Skills at Spokane Rifle Club
COURSE DESCRIPTION: As famed trainer John Farnam says–if you don’t know what you’re doing “holster work is the most dangerous thing we do with a pistol.” If you know what you are doing and understand and apply the essential holster skills this course covers, working from a holster need not be dangerous. This course is for those that already have their own pistol and Kydex-style holster.
A safe, efficient, accurate draw-to-first-hit is an essential skill for the responsibly armed citizen desiring to protect themselves and their loved ones. Understanding the principles of an energy-efficient presentation from holster (OWB, IWB, AIWB, Enigma) along with grip & platform essentials is where this course begins——it rapidly transitions to developing & practicing the skills needed to achieve an extremely efficient draw-to-first-hit without sacrificing accuracy and teaches the drills that can help you achieve a sub-second draw (if that is your desire in the future). Learn how to consistently meet the draw-to-first-hit time national standard for CCW holders and take home with you the knowledge, skills, and plan to maintain that standard.
We excel at and are passionate about teaching beginners because I remember what it was like to desperately wanted to know how to safely, legally, effectively, and confidently integrate a firearm into my life, yet I didn’t know where to go or who to trust for information. One of our goals is to help our students learn how to safely, independently, and confidently integrate a firearm into their lives.
Knowledge conquers fear. Students enjoy this interesting, hands-on course because it emphasizes safe gun handling while developing the essential skills to keep, carry, and control a handgun in order to prevail should you be faced with a violent encounter. This course is valuable even for those that have no intention of carrying a firearm. Be prepared to be hugged, encouraged, and challenged by our all-woman instruction team as you meet other like-minded responsible citizens.
