This is a collaborative course being taught by Brennan Brennecke of Gateway Defense, and Gil Narvaez of Fortitude Consulting. Gil will be teaching his AIWB Fighting Pistol on Day 1, and Brennan will be teaching Pistol Applications on Day 2. This gives attendees the chance to train with two different instructors in the same weekend, with the opportunity to learn from two different perspectives/experiences. 

 

Day 1: 

Appendix In the Waist Band carry is one of the most efficient methods of carrying a concealed firearm. During this course you will learn to avoid the common pitfalls associated with AIWB carry as well as options for deploying your firearm from this position as efficiently as possible.

 

In addition to the fundamentals of marksmanship some of the topics covered during this course will include:

 

  • Efficient draw and holstering methodology

  • Sustainable training strategies for AIWB

  • Personal protection advantages of AIWB

  • Gear review and selection considerations

  • Carry and deployment while traveling in a vehicle

 

Day 2: 

In Pistol Applications, Brennan will take the fundamentals covered in Day 1 and immediately show how to apply them to more complex shooting problems on Day 2. 

 

Topics Covered: 

 

  • Advanced Target Transitions

    • How sighting confirmation levels apply to transitions 

    • Target transitions in depth

    • Wide transitions

  • Practical Movement Principles

    • Efficient entries and exits

    • Shooting on the move

    • Target transitions while moving

  • Introduction to Hit Factor Scoring 

    • HF vs any other method of scoring (time plus, fixed par times, etc) 

    • How to prioritize speed vs accuracy based on the problem at hand and your current skill level 

  • Introduction to Shooting Stages

    • Application of everything from Days 1-2

    • Test of your ability to apply the fundamentals to complex shooting problems

 

NOTE: while beginner shooters will definitely benefit from this class, this SHOULD NOT be your first training class. Students will be required to have comprehensive understanding of gun safety, be able to work out of a holster safely, and be able to hit an A-zone or 8” circle on demand from 10 yards with no time limit.
