Chuck Haggard with Agile Training and Consulting will be providing a Close Quarters Deployment of Handguns class at the Mill Creek Rifle Club, DeSoto, KS, Nov 21 and 22, 2015. This class will encompass the A/TaC CQH1 and CQH2 classes, with a night fire training portion added to the two day class schedule for approximately 20 total hours of training.
This class will cover;
Issues with defensive use and deployment of handguns at close and very close ranges
Considerations in drawing a handgun at contact and near contact ranges, entangled in-fight weapons access issues, and drawing/firing from non-standard positions
Close quarters shooting,
Weapon retention and disarming/deflection,
Working around bystanders or family members in close quarters, obstacles, and the “down-range” problem,
Wound ballistics and “Tactical Anatomy”,
Malfunction clearances with one and two hands,
Reloads and how various reloading techniques fit into the real world use of pistols in a combative environment
Use of flashlights with handguns in a low-light environment
Low light firing techniques and equipment considerations
Student requirements:
A reliable/serviceable handgun; service-sized semi auto pistols 9mm/.40S&W/.45ACP, etc., preferred, however, smaller concealed carry or back-up guns may be brought to class in addition to the primary pistol and their use discussed and worked on.
A quality strong side or appendix carry outside or inside the waistband holster from which the shooter can safely draw and re-holster with one hand. Soft clip-on or nylon type holsters, or holsters that collapse and disallow reholstering with one hand, or shoulder holsters, are unsuitable for this type of training.
A minimum of 8oo rounds is needed for this class, bring more if you prefer and like to shoot, but 800 will get you by. Please also bring 10 rounds of your carry or duty ammo for the night fire portion of this class.
I can provide dummy ammunition in 9mm, .40S&W and .45ACP. If you have dummy ammunition that you prefer to use or you are using something besides one of those three calibers please feel free to bring that with you.
Eye and hearing protection; active type shooting muffs are suggested as these make it a great deal easier for students to hear range commands and maintain situational awareness.
Ball cap or other hat/cap with a bill.
Flashlight suitable for use as a tactical light (Sure Fire or similar handheld lights). Pistol mounted lights are welcome in class as well, but a handheld light is also required.
I will be providing dummy handguns for some of the training in this class. I have several Glock 17/22 sized dummy guns and other types of handguns. However, if a student has a dummy gun of their own that they use for training then feel free to bring that to class. Please advise me when e-mailing to register what type of handgun you will be using so that I can try to having a matching dummy gun available for this class.
0800 start time for admin & safety brief, then class will run through nightfall till approximately 9:30-10pm on Saturday for the night shoot portion of the training, with a short break lunch and a one hour dinner break provided, and 8-5 on Sunday with a short lunch break provided. Due to drive time to any local eating places, students should plan on bringing a sack lunch to the range for the lunch break to maximize training time.
Bringing things like extra water, snacks, etc. is suggested.
Class size is limited to a maximum of 12.
Due to arrangements with the hosting club, members of the Mill Creek Rifle Club have priority of enrollment until Sept 12th, after that enrollment is open. This is not a basic pistol course, students should have some training on pistol use, drawing from the holster, and safety before they take this course. Please contact me if you have questions.
Tuition for this class is $350, MCRC members receive a discount as part of the hosting package, contact me for details; [email protected]
