More than a Pistol I&II course, CQM is the sum total of Lead Instructor Jay’s experience in combat shooting at close range – passed on to the student. We begin this all-day course with assessment and fundamentals and progress to scenario based live fire. The goal of CQM is to equip the student with a shooting program they can take home and use to build their skills. It’s also a reality check designed to get the student out of a range mindset and into real-world reality where targets aren’t easy to identify, time is precious, and adrenalin clouds judgement. You will participate in live fire scenarios like fighting from vehicles, concealed carry in a crowd, and home defense designed to prepare the student for the realities of urban violence. Each one of our scenarios are crafted to simulate common real-world uses of force in lawful self-defense. A heavy dose of decision making, shoot-no-shoot target discrimination and compressed time and accuracy standards are designed to elevate student’s competence to carry a gun in the real world. Students will progress from drawing and firing to keeping their gun running no matter what happens while fighting through confusion, fear, and the attacker, to not just survive but prevail. We tailor instruction to the individual, so that beginners and advanced shooters alike can maximize their training time and value. Whatever your performance level and competence with a hand gun, we will move the needle forward.
