“Defenders Series” w/ North Fort Worth “A Girl & A Gun” Chapter- Decatur, TX

These 2.5 days will be a thoughtful approach to personal handgun training, helping any beginner start correctly or helping the veteran shooter tighten up any areas that need work. We will spend approximately 3 hours each day in a classroom setting going deeply into many of the myriad of aspects that need to be considered by anyone who has chosen to be a defender of life. Based on a lot of experience teaching this, the attendees will not only become better shooters but will also be able to become a well-rounded defender of life overall.

Friday evening will be fun, informative discussions about important issues related to being a gun carrier and defender that isn’t always given the depth needed in the gun world. The classroom time will be thought-provoking and help with areas I found over my police career where gun owners are often undecided or hadn’t considered well, if at all.
Again, this portion is open to the public free of charge and any donation you may feel it is worth would be helpful and appreciated.

Saturday will continue more discussions that are so needed considered, debated, and understood by lawful gun owners.

Our Saturday range time will be deliberate and careful, breaking down the many aspects of handling and shooting into “chunking” segments in order to build a shooter’s skills correctly the first time, or to properly encode over bad habits so often found in the gun world, all in order to increase the more experienced shooter’s abilities and skills.
The idea is to truly master the basics, to the point of understanding how to self-diagnose inefficiencies and even be able to teach these fundamentals to others. These are the same skills taught to both the brand new shooter and to the experienced shooters or professional gun carriers, such as law enforcement or military. It will be fun, positive, and will build or increase comfort and confidence in gun abilities and handling.

By the end of Saturday, the shooters will be tired but thoughtful and happy, with a lot to think about and personal changes that may need to be made as they come to new realizations. We may even have a group dinner at a local restaurant in Decatur for those who would want to join us.

On Sunday, we will go into many of the important aspects of being willing to defend life and surviving the aftermath of having to use lethal force. Our time in the classroom will absolutely capture the hearts and attention of those attending as we discuss extremely serious and even graphic topics that will likely cause emotions to rise. The subjects will be deep as we delve into the grave realities of having to defend life and surviving the worst moments true Evil brings.

Our Sunday range time will continue working on building speed with accuracy, then move into realistic fighting with a handgun, dealing with more than one bad guy, how to defend others, decisional shooting, fighting from the ground, shooting in movement, and more.

Those attending the entire 2 1/2 days will be tired from the weekend, as they will have worked hard, have had to question much, think a lot and struggle with important questions, and they will have spent a decent amount of emotional, mental, and physical energy throughout.

I look forward to seeing the growth in handgun skills of those attending, and the personal mental growth and realizations that will be just as important, or even more important, than the shooting abilities developed or refined.
