Randy Cain Tactical Handgun 101
Tactical Handgun 101
Citizen-Defender is excited to announce that we will be hosting Randy Cain, of Cumberland Tactics, 3-5 October at our facility in Culpeper! I just took this class and was so impressed that I decided to host him ASAP!
Randy’s most popular 3-day course is a complete introduction to the defensive use of the handgun. The comprehensive curriculum encompasses all elements of the 'Modern Technique of the Pistol' and introduces new concepts in tactical applications. The format provides a base in the fundamentals of marksmanship, tactical manipulation, the draw stroke, malfunction clearance, weapon retention, shooting on the move, moving targets, alternate tactical body positions and mental conditioning. Other topics include basic one man tactics, working with a partner, and an introduction to team tactics.
This course is appropriate for beginners and is also recommended as a refresher for those with previous professional defensive handgun training. This course is also attended by very proficient shooters who return time and again to hone their fundamentals.
Ammunition Requirement: 600 Rounds
Cost: $650
