DESCRIPTION

This course is designed to educate and train students in the functional and practical differences between high stress, dynamic combat shooting in contrast to static range training and finally sport competition shooting. HCT instructors will present concepts proven to develop and enhance mental focus, speed, precise movement and weapon presentation ability to ensure the delivery of accurate rounds on target while shooting under duress. Instructors will explain and demonstrate specific techniques and body mechanics required to perform rapid fire shooting, while maintaining accuracy and safety even when operating in extremely close quarters or confined spaces.

Drills and exercises involve two-man / four man bounding movement with verbal communication, use of cover and concealment, searching and assessing the environment, weak-hand shooting, hasty versus tactical reloading, and weapon malfunction scenarios. Attendees will practice shooting on the move while navigating various obstacles, challenging terrain, poor visibility, and shooting technique from standing, running, kneeling, prone positions, or while lying on the back. There are day and night time training evolutions.
