How is your marksmanship? Can you accurately engage a realistic threat quickly enough to survive a lethal encounter? Are you ready to defend your life? If you cannot answer these questions affirmatively and confidently then Defensive Pistol I is a course you should seriously consider.

Developed at Silver eagle Group by law Enforcement and Military Veterans, Defensive Pistol I is instruction designed to take you to the next level. This course is not for beginners. The target audience is anyone that has a legitimate need for serious defensive pistol skills. If you are a civilian, a background check will be required to certify good moral character. If you are law enforcement or military, you can benefit from the focus on survivability versus the usual focus on liability.

Course content will include the justification of deadly force (in detail), safety considerations, and equipment selection. The main area of instruction will focus on combat marksmanship. The fundamentals will be presented and practiced in fine detail. The Fighting Stance, Grip, Draw, Sight Alignment, Sight Picture, Trigger Control and Follow Through will be covered in depth.

Instructor to student ratio will be low providing individual attention to the correct fundamentals. This is a demanding eight hour period of instruction. Students should be in good physical condition (able to stand for at least six hours, able to fire at least 450 rounds of ammunition). We know and understand that injuries plague everyone, and we are willing to accommodate persons with disabilities.

Class size is limited to a maximum of ten students. make your plans to take your skills to the next level now. Be ready.

They are very good, but nothing takes the place of real world training. JMHO
