Precision Applications, LLC will be holding a Residential Room Clearing & Response To Active Shooter Level 1 course on July 27-28, 2019, and again on September 21-22, 2019.

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 I am holding at the same location, twice on 2 separate dates; August 24-25 and again on October 26-27.

Those Level 2 courses will satisfy the prerequisite for the Level 3 course to be held in December 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.

Precision Applications, LLC will be conducting an Urban Teamwork & Tactics on October 12, 2019. Class will begin at 8am and run until approximately 5pm, with a 1-hour break for lunch.

Tips for being "Gray"
Shooting while moving

Precision Applications, LLC will be conducting Force-On-Force training in our Residential Room Clearing & Response To Active Shooter Level 2 course on two separate weekends. Each training session is two days.

You only have to take 1 of the weekends. Each weekend is the exact same course, which we are offering twice so that folks have a better chance of making one of the dates. It also enables us to keep the class size smaller, for more iterations and less down time. You can sign up for either weekend, or both.

August 24-25, 2019
October 26-27, 2019

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

The Level 1 Force-on-Force Residential Room Clearing & Response To Active Shooter is a prerequisite for this course. If you have taken that course from us in the past, that will work. If you have not, we will be doing the Level 1 course at the same location on July 27-28, and again on September 21-22.

These Level 2 courses will satisfy the prerequisite for the Level 3 course to be held in December 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.

We will provide handguns, ammunition, helmets, and throat guards. Groin protection will not be provided, but is recommended for both sexes.

If you have a holster to fit a Glock 17/22, with or without a light attached, please bring it. If you do not have a holster and need to borrow one, please let us know when you sign up and we will have one to loan you. You will also need a magazine pouch to hold a minimum of 1 magazine and a handheld flashlight, even if you are planning to use a WML.

Students may wear what they wish, and supplement the provided protection with their own.

Precision Applications, LLC will be holding a Stress ThReat Engagement Skill Shooting (STRESS) 2 Course on Saturday, November 2.

4321 Macland Road
Powder Springs, GA 30127

Our previous STRESS Course is not a prerequisite for this new course. The "2" was added to tell the courses apart and they can be taken in any order. We will continue to hold the original STRESS Course, as well. The STRESS2 Course will have completely different drills that cover subjects not covered in the STRESS Course.

Course will start at 8am and run until 5pm with a 1 hour break for lunch.

The entire day's events are designed to force the shooter to engage targets with both a carbine and a handgun, at a minimum, while being subjected to various physical and mental stressors and performing a myriad of challenging tasks.

This course is designed to push the individual student to their limits and outside their "comfort zone". It is a physically and mentally demanding course, but the drills are designed so that, for the most part, the individual student can perform within their physical limitations and at their skill level.......although this is not to say you ain't gonna be pushed! Our goal as Instructors is to push YOU to YOUR individual limits, and at times a bit beyond. Not everyone is an Olympic-level athlete....... you aren't required to be, we don't expect you to be, and you do not need to be in order to attend this course.

All drills will use a combination of multiple threats, “no shoot/friendly” targets, targets partially occluded by hard cover, steel targets, moving targets and more. This is NOT a “plant your feet and shoot on the flat range at a single target” class!

Topics covered will include, but are not limited to:
-Medical considerations and how to use a tourniquet on yourself and others (a Gen7 Combat Application Tourniquet will be supplied to every student to use during the course)
-Effects of stress on the body
-How to counteract these stresses and train to minimize the effects
-How to best perform under the stresses you cannot get rid of
-Combat Mindset
-Carbine ready positions
-Shooting while moving
-Shooting from either shoulder

Gear list:
Carbine with sling
Minimum of 2 reloads for the carbine on your person
Handgun with holster. A certain level of retention is not required, but the handgun must be retained under physical exertion.
Minimum of 2 reloads for the handgun on your person
500rds carbine ammo; no tracer, armor piercing or incendiary rounds
200rds handgun ammo
Eye and ear protection
Hat with front brim. If you prefer a helmet, then wear it.
If you would normally use body armor, plates, vest, carrier, etc., then wear it.
Plenty of water
*All of the gear on your person must be retained during strenuous exercise

The course is limited to 12 students.

Course fee is $400 paid in advance. We accept checks, money orders, cash and discrete PayPal (you pay the 3.5% fees, no "gifts" please). Your spot is not guaranteed until your course fee is received.

Most exercises will be performed as 2-man teams. If you do not have a partner, we will pair you up with another Shooter.

We will be shooting from several different types of urban structures, using every level from the ground floor up through the roof. The different structures include different types of terrain to work with, from open fields, through scrub and brush, to wooded areas.

I am limiting the class to 12 students. The cost for the class will be $600 per student, payable by check, MO or PayPal. If you pay with PayPal you must add 3.5% to the total to cover fees. In order to hold your seat, your course fees must be prepaid in full. If you are a Georgia LEO, contact me about POST credit.

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions/concerns about any of your equipment. Additionally, it's more than possible that I can rent/loan you needed equipment, including firearms and optics.

We will shoot out to a maximum of 600yds during this course. Prior to the beginning of the class, you should have solid dope on your weapon from 100yds to at least 300yds. If you do not have access to a range to accomplish this, please contact me ASAP so that we can get you doped before the course.

Gear list:
Precision rifle (bolt or semi), in your choice of caliber, with sling. Approximate accuracy of 2MOA-3MOA (2"-3" per 100yds) will be acceptable, however I am not requiring any specific level of accuracy for the class. Run what ya brung! We will be using multiple targets, of various sizes, at the longer ranges, so you will be able to engage what you and your system are capable of. A dedicated Sniper rifle, your deer rifle, a Winchester 94 with a scope, an AK with an optic......whatever! When the day comes, you don't know what weapon you will have access to, or what will fit the task at hand best. We will use multiple sizes of targets at each distance, so all rifles/carbines will be capable.
500rds for your precision rifle
Eye/ear protection
Sling
Databook
OPTIONAL:
Shooting mat
Rear bag
Spotting scope

Rifle capable of 1MOA. Bolt actions and semi-automatics are both welcome
Quality optics. The following features are mandatory on the optic:
-Finger adjustable turrets with audible/tactile “clicks”, MOA or mil are fine
-Ranging reticle, mil or MOA based are both acceptable
Ammunition, 200 rounds. Ammunition must be "match grade" from a reputable manufacturer, or known handloads of equal or better accuracy
Data book w/ calculator (any calculator that multiplies and divides will work. I highly recommend the Storm Tactical modular rite in the rain databooks)
Rifle-mounted bipod, or front rest
Rear bag(s) (optional)
Shooting mat (optional)
Minimum 5 “dummy” rounds
Spotting scope (optional)
Eye and ear protection
Clothes and footwear appropriate to the weather. If it rains, we train, as long as there is no thunder/lightning.
If you are military/LE, it is preferred that you use your duty gear, body armor and other ancillary equipment that you will use on duty. Train like you fight!

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS:
1. Contact me prior to enrolling and let me know what rifle and optic you plan on using.

2. It is preferred that your rifle be fully assembled and sighted in with a recent 100 yard zero prior to the class. The zero must be done with the ammunition that you will be using in the class. I offer my services for free to any of my students who need assistance with any rifle or optics work, or zeroing, that they may need.

3. Ammunition must be “match grade” from a known manufacturer, or handloads that you have shot out of the rifle you are bringing to the class and are sure of their accuracy.

4. A bipod or ruck to shoot off, as well as a rear bag. For a bipod, I highly recommend the Harris BRM-S (6”-9”, notched leg, swiveling). I have bipods and rear bags to loan during the course.

5. If you don't have some sort of adjustable cheekpiece, or cheekpad, I recommend one. The comb of your stock needs to be high enough that your cheek bone rests on it naturally when you have a perfect sight picture, not your jawbone or the middle of your cheek. Ask several of my former students and they'll tell you this makes a HUGE difference.

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions about any of your gear. I would rather sort the problems out ahead of time than have you show up at the class with gear that won't work, or that is set up wrong.

I will reiterate, I offer my services for free to students when it comes to mounting up scopes/bases/rings (including lapping the rings), weighting and texturing stocks, and any other tweaking that your system may need. I will also assist in getting your rifle zeroed prior to the class.

If you are a LEO, contact me about POST credit.

Other than confirming 100yd zeroes, all targets will be reactive steel.
