Precision Applications, LLC will be conducting an Extreme Close Quarters Shooting and Down & Disabled course in Aragon GA on Saturday, April 23, 2022.

ECQS is geared towards self-defense with a handgun at very close distances, i.e., 3 yards and less. This portion of the class will combine some hand-to-hand combat techniques with shooting at double arm’s length and closer. The hand-to-hand portion is not intended to turn you into an MMA fighter, its emphasis is on defending against the initial assault, to draw your handgun and engage.

Amongst the topics covered in the ECQS portion will be:

Combat Mindset

The aforementioned hand-to-hand techniques

Physical blocking techniques

Weapons retention techniques

Various ECQS shooting positions, including the ECQS Retention Technique, the High Ready, and “Press Contact”

Shooting will moving forward to engage, or rearward to disengage

The other portion of the class will be over Down & Disabled shooting techniques. It is not out of the realm of reason that in a deadly force situation you might end up on the ground, whether it’s on your back, front, or side. With the proper skill sets, you can turn this to your advantage and win the encounter from the ground. Just because you’re down does not mean that you are out!

Among the topics covered during the D&D portion will be:

Engaging a lethal threat with a handgun while lying on your back, front, strong side and support side, with the threat at your feet or at your head.

Fighting back to your feet, while engaging the threat.

Strong-hand and support-hand only shooting techniques, including draws and reloads

Gear list:

Handgun with holster. Both revolvers and semi-autos are welcome.

Magazine pouch/speedloader pouch, with a minimum of 2 reloads readily accessible on person

600 rounds of ammunition

Eye and ear protection

Hat with a front brim

We will spend quite a bit of the live fire time on targets that will allow you to strike, shove and shoot them, including press contact shots.

This class will be a bit more strenuous than the average pistol class, so dress accordingly. During the D&E portion, we will be spending quite a bit of time on the ground, on a gravel range. If you wish to bring something to lie on, you are welcome to within reason.

Dress appropriately for the weather, whatever it will be. Comfortable attire and shoes/boots are a must. Bring plenty of water.

The course is limited to 20 students. Course fee is $250 paid in advance. We accept checks, money orders, cash, Zelle, Venmo, CashApp, and discrete PayPal (you pay the 3.5% fees, no "gifts" please). Your spot is not guaranteed until your course fee is received.

Precision Applications, LLC will be conducting a 2-day Basic Precision Rifle Course on May 14-15, 2022 at the Elk River Training Center in Pelham TN on their 1,000 yard range.

4626 SR 50

Pelham TN 37366

Both days will start at 0800hrs Central Standard Time and run until approximately 1700hrs CST. There will be a 1 hour lunch break each day.

DAY 1

Topics covered will include (but aren't limited to):

Selection, care and maintenance of the entire system (rifle, scope, rings, mounts, ammunition, bipod, cases, etc.). This includes a comprehensive disassembly and other Armorer's tips.

Marksmanship basics

Use of optics (including adjustments and all other functions)

Use of data book

Zeroing

CCB/CHB/HFB

We’ll shoot to approximately 500 yards on Day 1.

DAY 2

Use of a mil- and MOA-based reticles for ranging unknown distance targets.

Use of hold-offs as compared to dialing dope.

We will pick up where we left off on Day 1, and continue out to 1,000 yards. I will be working with each shooter to fine tune their skills and fix any issues they have.

We will shoot in 2 relays, so one relay can learn the proper techniques that a Spotter needs to assist the Shooter. All students will shoot to 1,000 yards.

Gear list will include:

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.

We have plenty of equipment, including rifles and optics, to loan or rent. Just let me know what you need.

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

Cost for the course is $600. Limited to 10 students.  We accept cash, checks, money orders, Zelle, Venmo, CashApp, and discrete PayPal (you cover the 3.5% fee).  Your spot is not guaranteed until payment is received.

Precision Applications, LLC will be holding a Stress ThReat Engagement Skill Shooting (STRESS) Course on Saturday, August 20 2022, in Aragon GA.

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:

-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 20 students. Course fee is $350 paid in advance. We accept checks, money orders, cash, Zelle, Venmo, CashApp, and discrete PayPal (you pay the 3.5% fees, no "gifts" please). Your spot is not guaranteed until your course fee is received.
