About
- At sometime in your life, your dominant hand may not be available when you need it most: to save your life. Learning to deploy, manipulate and shoot accurately with your support hand is an important and often-neglected skill. This training session is dedicated to that end.
- For most people, shooting from the non-dominant side requires developing an entirely new skill set. Not only the process of aiming the pistol, but re-learning proper trigger control and follow-through. Added to this challenge is drawing from your holster, changing magazines and clearing stoppages. This class will be a workout for sure!
- We will be doing holster work with unloaded pistols. After this course, you may decide to change not only your holster, but where you carry your gun (strong-side, appendix, behind-the-back). This class is more of a workshop where you will discover what works and what doesn’t.
What to Bring
- You will need your handgun with suitable holster, at least two magazines (three or more is better) in magazine carriers, and 200 rounds of ammunition.
