What You’ll Learn
Over the span of 4 modules (four separate days), this combat handgun course for South African civilian firearm owners will comprehensively cover essential aspects of defensive handgun use. The training is structured into four modules, each focusing on critical skills and knowledge areas to enhance participants’ proficiency and confidence in self-defence scenarios.
An overview of the 4 modules as follows
Module 1: Firearm Safety, Fundamentals and Legal Framework
The course begins with an in-depth review of firearm safety protocols, emphasizing responsible handling, and a thorough understanding of the fundamentals of shooting. We look at kit and its application to a civilian setup.
Module 2: Handgun Marksmanship and Tactics
Building on the foundation of safety and legal knowledge, this module delves into movement, mag changes and much more. Participants will engage in live-fire exercises to develop and refine their marksmanship skills, focusing on accuracy and consistency under controlled conditions.
Module 3: Defensive Shooting Techniques and Stress Management
This module introduces participants to defensive shooting techniques tailored for real-world self-defence situations. Training will cover drawing from concealment, engaging multiple targets, shooting on the move, and utilizing cover effectively. Emphasis will be placed on managing stress responses to maintain composure and effectiveness during high-pressure encounters.
Module 4: Scenario-Based Training and Tactical Decision-Making
The final module immerses participants in scenario-based exercises that simulate realistic defensive situations. Participants will practice tactical decision-making, threat assessment, and appropriate use-of-force responses through these simulations. The goal is to integrate all previously learned skills, fostering the ability to respond effectively and decisively in dynamic environments.
By the conclusion of this course, participants will have developed a comprehensive skill set encompassing safe firearm handling, proficient marksmanship, defensive tactics, and informed decision-making, all within the context of South African legal and societal frameworks.
