Precision Applications, LLC will be holding a Residential Room Clearing & Response To Active Shooter Level 1 course on August 8-9, 2020.

The training days will start at 8am and run until approximately 5pm.

4321 Macland Rd
Powder Springs, GA 30127

The cost for this course is $400 per student, paid in advance to hold your slot. I will be limiting this course to 12 students. If you have taken this course before, I highly recommend taking it again. This is by far the best training venue we have used for this particular course and offers many unique scenarios not present in our previous training courses.

This class will satisfy the prerequisite for the Level 2 Force-on-Force Residential Room Clearing & Response To Active Shooter course being taught at the same location on July 25-26.

Those Level 2 courses will satisfy the prerequisite for the Level 3 course to be held in Blakely GA. Level 3 is live-fire in a shoothouse.

If you sign up for 2 or 3 courses at once, you will receive a 10% discount off of each course.

The purpose of the first day of this course is to teach you to properly clear your own residence, in the case of a burglary/home invasion. I'm not advocating house clearing on your own, but if you are in one part of the home while your significant other is in another part, it would be a good idea to be able to safely move and link up. In addition, many of the elements of room clearing are the same as techniques used in Active Shooter Response.

The second day of this course concerns possible tactics to be used in the event that you are caught up in an Active Shooter situation.

Topics covered for this portion of the course include, but are not limited to:
-Combat Mindset
-moving down hallways and through intersections
-entering doorways
-clearing rooms
-transitioning from one room to the next
-working individually and as a team of 2
-working in daylight and limited visibility/darkness
-the pros and cons of different weapon systems
-choosing and enhancing a defensive position
-If you choose to engage an Active Shooter, how to move, locate, and close with

Gear list:
Handgun with holster and covering garment
You can use an inert training pistol, or disable your handgun with a Blade Tech training barrel to render it safe. Contact me prior to the class if you have any issues or concerns with this. I have "blue guns" that I will loan to folks that don't have a means to render their handgun safe, or don't care to.
If you have a long gun (carbine, shotgun, SMG, etc) that you use for home defense, bring it as well. We will discuss the pros and cons of each system, so run what ya brung.
For long guns, I prefer a flag safety device or similar so that we can render them safe. If you don't have one, I have several I will loan out. If you are running some sort of AR, a Blade Tech training bolt (about $15) will be required.
At least 1 handheld flashlight. If you have weapon-mounted lights, excellent, bring those as well, but you will still need a handheld flashlight.
 
I took this class a couple years ago. Very eye opening, and revealed some interesting connections between the USPSA competition I enjoy and tactical shooting. It was also surprisingly physical demanding.

The Bladetech plastic barrels seem to be discontinued -- tried searching Brownells, MidwayUSA, eBay, etc. Do you know of something similar? I like the idea of completely replacing your barrel for this purpose.

For what make/model of gun?
 
You should do a class in the north east so I can participate, sadly I can’t take off long enough from work to fly there and back
