Students will recieve instruction in current CQB Combat Shooting to ensure weapons are zeroed and individual training requirements are met and students are deemed safe and competent prior to moving to the shoot house. From there, our cadre will deliver lessons in close quarters battle safety tactics, techniques and procedures that will be used as the framework for developing safety policies during high-risk training.
