  About This Course:

  So many people think going to a range, standing still and punching holes in paper is “training.” In reality we have to train for high stress events that will demand dynamic reaction and a high level of preparedness. That requires training that helps truly introduce you what it means to make the weapons an extension of yourself. 

  This class and series is for those who want to be better shooters and begin to translate shooting skills to what it means to actually fight with your firearms. This is about becoming a protector and asset to your family and community while beginning to touch the Savage piece of you modern society has demanded you suppress. 

  DAY 1 RANGE: Are you ready to handle the possible threats life can present in order to protect yourself and your family? Day 1 you'll learn the HOW and WHY of shooting, drawing, and loading your gun all with a focus of being a fighter and not a range ranger. 

  DAY 2 RANGE: Mobility and situational awareness is crucial in a gunfight, and having built a solid foundation we will introduce moving, multiple targets, shooting from cover, and non-standard shooting positions.

  Equipment Required:

  • Semi-Automatic Handgun
  • QUALITY Holster.  Kydex preferred (NO Serpa Holsters due to insurance regulations)
  • At least 3 Magazines

  About This Course:

  Have you ever observed how some individuals appear to handle stress, depression, anxiety, or trauma with greater resilience? Have you pondered why you or others sometimes feel trapped in cycles of negative thoughts and emotions? Are you aware of the connection between mental health and physical well-being?

  These phenomena find explanation in the realms of neuroimmunology and neuropsychology. Formerly attributed to inherent traits, we now understand these differences as products of individual neurological makeup. The exciting revelation is that the brain isn't fixed; it's malleable. By understanding and actively engaging with this plasticity, you can not only transform your thought processes but also reshape the very structures of your brain. These changes yield improvements not just in emotional and mental health but also directly impact physical well-being.

  This course is not a journey of self-help, motivation, or spirituality. Rather, it offers a rigorous exploration grounded in scientific research and evidence-based practices. Delve into the workings of the brain, how they influence various facets of life, and the actionable medical theories for effecting change. Regardless of your background or educational journey, you'll find value in this course.

  Topics Covered Include:

  Pathways of depression, anxiety, grief, and stress

  Mission focused mindset and delayed responses

  Resilience and mental “toughness”

  Mental / Physical interactions

  Breaking the cycles of toxic thinking

  Nutritional and pharmaceutical components of brain chemistry

  Prerequisites:

  None

  Equipment Required:

  Pen and Paper for notes. This is a classroom based course.

  Notes:

  This course is open to ages 16+ with a parent in attendance. This course will cover topics that are very academic and medical based. Younger participants are welcome but the material may be advanced for their understanding.

  About This Course:

  Many misconceptions surround the wounds from weapons. Hollywood would make you think a single gunshot will throw the attacker backwards to their sudden death. Old knife books make you think a stab will be easy and quickly cause the attacker to bleed to death. Debates range over what caliber is sufficient for self-defense, and even how many deaths really occur do to weapons in the United States.

  This course will cover the following topics:

  • What is the actual rate of injury and death due to various weapons in the US

  • What is the key differences between gunshot from a rifle vs a handgun

  • What caliber is truly a “stopper”

  • What kind of knife causes the most damage

  • What causes someone to “move backwards” when hit with a firearm round

  • How fast will you likely bleed out depending on the wound you receive

  Equipment Required:

  • Notepade & Pen

  Prerequisites:

  None

  Special Notes:

  Open to ages 14+ with a parent.

  Cost:

  About This Course:

  We want to think our church is a place of refuge where we can safely grow a relationship with our God, family, and fellow congregation. Unfortunately, churches are quickly becoming one of the most targeted places for violence.

  Many churches have started safety or security teams, but they often lack the ability to give proper training and guidance to the team members. In too many instances the church board simply finds the person in the congregation who happens to be a police officer, tags them to develop a security plan, and then opens it up to volunteers. While this is certainly better than having nothing in place, this approach can leave many holes in a fully comprehensive security plan.

  Getting a full team together to offer training has issues. People have complicated schedules. Training facilities are limited. Training courses may offer some of the base skills, but they are not tailored to the church environment.

  While we offer full advisement, planning, and training packages to churches, we found many other instances where individual safety team members understand it is “up to them” to get the training required. This course will help individuals who have been tasked to serve their church in a security or safety team role to be better prepared. In addition, several topics will be discussed they can take back to their organizations to help implement a more comprehensive plan.

  Topics Covered:

  Situational Awareness before, during, and after the service

  De-escalation techniques for church environments

  Firearms and other weapons considerations

  Safeguarding the offering and financial contributions

  Protecting the children

  Medical issues, fires, weather events, and other safety emergencies

  Legal liability

  Equipment Required:

  Notepad and Pen

  Prerequisites:

  None

  Notes:

  This course is primarily aimed at individual safety team members but will help guide the basis for an overall church plan.

  This is a fast paced course with many topics covered

  Follow-on training is available to go deeper into each topic
