Course Overview

PNTC offers responsible citizens an affordable, world class Intro to Defensive Handgun course that takes advantage of many timeless techniques. We incorporate classroom, video, range and simulators, along with a key section called “Defensive Mindset.” More than a class, this experience will challenge your approach to personal defense.

This specific course focuses on two key skills -- “Defensive Mindset” & “Defensive Technique.” Both skills are critical in avoiding a defensive situation and both are equally essential for prevailing, should a defensive situation become unavoidable.

In addition to the importance of the “Defensive Mindset”, you will learn critical introductory defensive firearms related techniques, such as: Drawing, Grip, Appreciation for Distance, Speed of Attackers, Critical Importance of the Front Site, Trigger Control, Malfunctions, Reloading, Effective Defensive Hits vs. Precision Hits, True Bullet Impact Effect, Multiple Attacker Engagements, etc.

Finally, this is no “normal day” on the range. In this course you will be presented with extremely realistic defensive situations, including: barricades, realistic targets, no-shoot targets, introductory stress levels and  instruction from top and qualified Peacemaker National instructors. You should fully expect this course to challenge your views forever on personal protection and greatly enhance your defensive shooting skills. You'll also spend time on Peacemaker's Laser Simulator and experience incredibly realistic attack situations that require you to make critical decisions and use your defensive technique unders stress. 

Finally, this course will set an excellent foundation for your development of defensive handgun skills.
