Carry for Life I is a practical self-defense handgun course that introduces you to the Fundamentals of Firearms Safety and the skills necessary to handle a revolver and a semi-automatic pistol. You will learn what a handgun will and won't do and why it works the way it does. The hands-on training will start with Proper Stance and Grip, Sight Alignment, Sight Picture, and Trigger Control.

Next, Your Instructor will introduce the element of shooter movement. Here, you will learn techniques for moving forward, laterally, and backward to make room between an attacker and yourself while firing on the target and making tactical reloads. The goal is to make it harder to hit by moving while improving your chances of stopping a threat with solid hits.

Upon completing this course, you will have a fundamental understanding of the handgun's defensive use. Among the many skills covered will be the ability to safely and efficiently draw your weapon from the holster and fire shots at the center of a target five yards away while moving in various ways. Your goal will be to learn how to hit one or more targets while making yourself a very uncooperative target.
