ARMED CITIZEN ENCOUNTERS: TACTICAL ANATOMY, TRAUMA, AND TREATMENTS: SAT & SUN, JULY 19-20, 2025 8AM-4PM
This course provides essential training in performance pistol shooting, integrating an in-depth understanding of tactical anatomy in a dynamic 360º environment. Students will gain insight into the physiological challenges faced during a lethal force encounter, including reaction times and mental processing speeds—critical factors in making effective tactical decisions.
The second component of this course focuses on life-saving medical interventions that may be necessary after an armed engagement. Classroom instruction will incorporate elements from our Guardian Medical Essentials curriculum, applying them to traumatic injuries sustained in such encounters. Even in a successful defensive shooting, the reality remains that the Armed Citizen or a loved one may sustain injuries.
This course is designed to develop two critical skill sets:
1. Speed and precision in placing anatomically effective shots to neutralize a threat.
2. Medical intervention capabilities to manage trauma after resolving the tactical threat.
The final phase of this two-day course brings these skills together in live-fire problem-solving scenarios, incorporating timed and accurate medical interventions. The training culminates in a realistic force-on-force scenario, utilizing live role players to reinforce the integration of tactical shooting and emergency medical response.
Prerequisites:
This is not a beginner-level shooting course.Medical training is not required. Students must have prior pistol training from a reputable instructor and be able to safely draw, move, and problem-solve in a dynamic environment. A skills assessment will be conducted at the beginning of the live-fire portion. Students may be asked to provide proof of previous training.
