Course Description:

Combined Firearms is an intensive one-day shooting course that focuses on transitioning from rifle to pistol during a shooting situation, including the reverse transition to a long gun from a pistol. During the course, students will be introduced to multiple shooting techniques that apply in a forced or tactical gun transition situation. The goal of the course is to teach students an effective method to continue a shooting situation by quickly transitioning to a pistol when a malfunction occurs with a long gun, or how to switch weapons when a tactical decision by the shooter results. The course also teaches the basics of working in pairs and includes several dynamic shooting exercises to practice these techniques.

Contents:

A quick recap and repetition of some shooting techniques from pistol and rifle courses level 1 to 3, followed by practice of individual techniques of forced and tactical weapon transitions, the basics of working in pairs and several dynamic shooting scenarios.
