Shooter/Fighter Matrix Enhanced | May 14-16, 2021 | Jacksonville, TX

Diagnostics – Evolution – Enhancement – Results

This enhanced class is both continuation of “Shooter/Fighter Matrix” and a stand-alone course of learning.

Often the hardest evaluation one can do is that of yourself. Of one’s own competency.

Owning a firearm, something millions can claim. Being a competent shooter. Many will claim that too. Yet only a fraction of them are, in fact, competent shooters.

The difficult question is where on the matrix of competency as a shooter AND as a fighter with the Firearm do YOU stand…

This is about Matrix.

Actually- about more than just one.

This is about self evaluation. Self reflection. Re-calibration.

This is about charting out a highly customized, accurate, relevant and objective matrix of what you are.

And it is of crucial importance to each and everyone – to know what you are as a shooter, gunfighter, fighter on a more wholesome scale, and more- so that we can determine not only what we want to train, but more importantly – what we actually NEED to learn and train.

To figure all this out, we need to think. Objectively, using raw data.

This enhanced course, continuation in “Shooter/Fighter Matrix” series, takes deeper look at the path of first defining where each student stands as a shooter AND as a fighter with the gun.
Through thoughtfully designed drills, each student will be able to diagnose individual issues and problem areas. Drills gradually and progressively will take students from the square one way range shooting realm into a much more complex and chaotic realm of a gunfight. Attributes and components of the distinct stages of actions within the gunfight will be introduced in order to not only evaluate and diagnose, but to expose dogmatic habits that impede ones ability to perform and apply skills in the fight.

In three intense days of learning and training, each student will be able to gather enough raw data and relevant results to be able to quantify his/her own competency as a shooter and as a gunfighter.

Along with diagnostics and charting competency, relevant and practical suggestions related to both shooting and gunfighting, how and why “fighting” affects shooting, and a lot more, will be given individually to each student.

Topics:

• Safety, rules, and principles
• Charting your competency as a shooter and as a gunfighter
• Components of shooting: accuracy, speed, weapon handling, and consistency
• Components of gun-fighting: willingness to act, data gathering (observation skills), accelerated decision making, weapon access/retention, movement/motion, shooting, post fight considerations (legal and medical), other
• Moving
• Malfunctions from the vantage point of a gunfight
• Shooting while moving (let’s move away from the dogmas)
• Ambidexterity- the other half of you
• Vision: the what, the why, the how
• Mindset: what is it
• Putting it all together
• How to train
• Handgun retention and disarming in civilian realm
• Geometry of the corner: basics of L, T and Cross intersections
• Developing individual objective self assessment tools.

This is mentally and physically challenging class. It’s purpose is learning, not just training.
