Effective Defensive Firearm Training

Jim Benoit of Tuscarora Tactical teaching pistol class

We have been busy out on the range instructing new students with the level one curriculum of Defensive Carry at Northern Chester County Sportsmen's Club in southeast PA. In December we step it up with the Level 2 class! 
Not everyone is ready to move to level 2 that participates in a level 1 class. 
Here are some tips for training at home to ensure you can move up in a class level with your defensive training at a pace that stays exciting.

1. Dry Fire - check your pistol is clear, then check it two more times! No ammo in the room either. Then, practice your draw, grip, stance and sight picture over and over. 10 minutes at a time is plenty
   
2. Mag Changes - check your pistol and mags are clear, then check them two more times! No ammo in the room either. From your compressed ready position or #3, remove your mag, tap it on your belt or pocket, reinsert the mag, indexing the magazine properly into the gun. Repeat 50 times with out looking at your sidearm!

More coming soon...
