APS(Jim Shanahan): Deliberate Responder Quantified Skills
Description
We believe that if you carry a handgun to protect yourself or others, you must have a fundamentals set of skills (essential skills) that are firmly grounded, repeatable and available upon demand. Some people talk about “cold” performance, we choose the term “on demand performance” and we believe you need to understand your current skill level, capabilities and limitations.
Prospective students should have a general knowledge of handguns and be able to safely work from a suitable concealment or duty type holster. Students can expect to spend the majority of the class time on the range in live fire exercises intended to further develop an understanding of efficient application of the skills required to produce the required hits on a given target at speed. Explanations, Demonstrations and Practical Application of those skills required are the cornerstone of how we help each student progress at a pace that helps ensure anchoring the understanding of those skills.
This 2 day training event culminates with our “testing” phase and each student will participate for a “grade” in 3 live fire qualifications. Each qualification is graded on a percentage basis with a detailed score sheet that can serve as a platform to further develop a personal training program. Our “tests” are not pass/fail, rather a detailed analysis of each student’s performance.
Each detailed learning block throughout the course also features a “challenge” drill where students compete against each other in live fire drills designed to demonstrate learned skills and behavior.
