This 1-day course provides a quick overview of the Basic Pistol before getting into more advanced pistol shooting and handling tactics. Intermediate Pistol focuses on getting the handgun out of the holster and on target more rapidly, while effectively placing shots on target, successive shooting, engaging multiple attackers, getting ourselves off the "X", shooting moving and shooting, as well as shooting while moving. We will discuss theories such as Boyd's O.O.D.A. Loop to assist in understanding how and why we do things, and how the behavioral sciences affect our reactionary and decision-making processes.
Intermediate Pistol is 100% on range with a vast majority of the 8 hours focused on live-fire training, allowing students to apply what they’ve learned in a controlled, professionally maintained environment. This course is quick paced and provides the knowledge and confidence needed for responsible handgun handling and carrying.
PREREQUSITE: Students must have attended GIOTEX Solutions Basic Pistol, your state's required course for concealed pistol qualification, or another company's basic pistol course that is deemed to be comparable by the GIOTEX Solutions administration. Proof of course graduation must be presented.
