Extreme Close Quarters Gunfighting

The skills you gained in your license to carry class or your initial “learning to draw from a holster and put rounds on target” class may not work when the fight happens within arms reach  Extreme close range gunfighting is a completely different skill set, one that relies far more on FIGHTING than on mere shooting.

With up to 50% of gun fight fatalities occurring at ranges closer than 5 feet, you need this skill set.  Join our instructor team as we teach a dynamic close quarters gunfighting class that will cover the following topics:

• Retention shooting positions
• Body positioning and shooting stances for the close quarters fight
• In fight weapons access and drawing skills
• Defeating the unarmed, but physically superior opponent
• Stopping an opponents draw
• Mechanical and tactical considerations for making contact distance shots
• Close quarters gun disarms
• One handed close quarters malfunction drills
• Drawing and shooting from unconventional positions
• Weapons retention (in holster and in hand)

The class will be physical, but you will be able to control your level of participation in each drill. This class will not include any physical conditioning nor will it evolve into some type of “fight club“ scenario.

You will be tired at the end of the day, but if you can stand on your feet and engage in light intensity, upper body exercise for a period of a few hours you will do absolutely fine in this class.

As always, there will be loaner pistols/holsters/belts available for students.

You will need at least one extra magazine for this class. More than one magazine will be helpful. A magazine carrier will also be helpful, but we have a number available for loan to students.

Note: students must be a graduate of Inclusive Defense Training I or be able to demonstrate the ability to safely draw and reholster a handgun. 

Cost for this class is $125.00 per person which includes a $25.00 range fee for any who are not members of the Oklahoma City Gun Club.  Oklahoma City Gun Club members should contact me for a code to subtract the range fee.

Like all of our classes and trainings, there will be two opportunities for each student to earn an Inclusive Defense Training patch!
