Anyone in the training business will tell you there is nothing - but nothing - that will sort out your ability to effectively function in a sudden, life-threatening emergency like force-on-force training using simulated munitions. You are put in a situation, and you do whatever you do.
In this course, there will be some work with life firearms and ammunition, followed by a number of scenarios. The scenarios are on tape, and debriefed once all participants have gone through the process.
Being able to identify mistakes and work on fixes right then and there is perhaps the most educational experiences one can have with a gun. (It probably has more educational value than getting into an actual fight, because it is videotaped, examined and debriefed right on the spot.)
This kind of training will show you where you need work, and we all need work. (As with any firearms training, one is well advised to leave his ego at the door.)
Want to know how you will react? Then find out.
This version of Tactics II is two days, a Saturday and a Sunday, Oct. 31 and Nov. 1, and costs $300. There are no discounts applicable to this course.
Participants need to bring their own inert training gun. We supply the simulated firearms, simulated munitions and related safety gear. The course also involves some live fire and about 200 rounds of hand gun ammunition.
Enrollment is limited to ten participants. First come/first served.
This year the course will be run by Pete Georgiades and Tony Ferrazzoli, with the assistance of others who have been through the course before. It will be held at the Pitcairn-Monroeville Sportsman’s Club (East of Pittsburgh, PA.)
The night segments of these courses are vitally important, and because we will not be discharging any firearms in the night session after 9:00 p.m. we can extend the night shoot beyond 9:00 p.m. without violating zoning regulations. Therefore, we have determined to adapt the schedule as follows:
Saturday: 9:30 a.m. start. Finish about 5:30 p.m.
Sunday: NOON start. Break for an dinner on Sunday, at about 4:00 p.m. (One can stay at the range and eat a box dinner, or come to local place and eat with the group.) Reconvene from 6:00 p.m. to about 10:00 p.m.
There are prerequisites. One must have completed formal hand gun instruction of at least three days’ duration from a school or instructor known to the F.I.R.E. Institute staff (or approved by the course administrator) and completed within the past 24 months.
The course administrator can and will waive this prerequsite for people with other kinds of experience, but we will still require prior formal hand gun training (LFI-I and NRA pistol or "personal protection" courses do not fulfill this requirement). If you have any questions about whether you qualify for this course, contact Peter Georgiades at the FIRE Institute. (You can do that from here, by IM.)
