Skill Building & Serious Drills – Mesa, AZ – Dec. 6th, 2025
This Skill Building & Serious Drills training day is solely focused on building skills through challenging drills that will grow in complexity throughout the day. You will have an opportunity to earn the Defenders USA Ace Card and the Defenders USA Patches – seriously hard accomplishments that require real skill that can’t be faked.
You will also run through other nationally know drills (MSP, CC.com, MOD, TCC, ASP, Baer Solutions, TrAs, T1C, RangerMaster, and more).
You will be challenged, will get expert coaching, and will grow as a shooter.
Many of these drills can be found on our YouTube Channel – subscribe at https://www.youtube.com/@defenders-usa
We will be in Training Bay 2 at the Rio Salado Sportsman’s Club in Mesa, AZ. TB2 is next to the Shotgun Range. It is a covered bay, with log walls on each side, and parking is nearby in front of Training Bay 1.
There is a Range Fee of $25 that will need to be paid in cash at the beginning of the day.

Quality holster & sturdy belt (feel free to call with any holster questions)
(NOTE: ***NO SERPA holsters or of similar design, NO collapsible holsters, NO sticky or pocket holsters, NO bra holsters, NO shoulder holsters, and NO purse holsters!!)
***If you do not have holster, that will not be a problem but please let us know ahead of time so we can make the arrangements for you to use a handgun safely without a holster during this class.
