Carry for Life I© is a practical self-defense handgun course introducing you to the Fundamentals of Firearms Safety and the skills necessary to handle a revolver and semi-automatic pistol. You will learn what a handgun will do, what it won't, and why it works the way it works. 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 oneself while firing on the target and making tactical reloads. The goal is to make it harder to hit by moving while improving the chances of stopping a threat with solid hits.
After 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-sighted shots to the center of a target 5 yards away while moving. Your goal will be to learn how to hit one or more targets while making yourself a very uncooperative target.
