GreyBeard Actual Concealed Pistol Applications, 06-07 April 2024, Defense Midwest, Wa

Held at one of our favorite training venues, Defense Midwest in Wamego Kansas, this two-day live-fire course covers the application of pistol skill from concealment in an armed confrontation.

Our goal is for every student to leave this course with a deeper understanding of how to apply their hard earned shooting skill from concealment in a fighting context.

Ammo available if purchased 2 weeks or more prior to class date.

Topics Covered:
Application of skill vs development of skill
