This course is a collaboration between Acumen Tactical & Dynamic Solutions. Learn to manage worst case scenarios! This course will cover injured shooter techniques, including drawing, reloading, clearing malfunctions, and engaging targets one handed only, with both strong & support hand. We will also cover movement, use of cover, as well as emergency traumatic injury care, including application of tourniquets, wound packing, and evacuation of yourself or other injured persons off of the “X”.
Participants MUST be able to demonstrate safe gun handling and be very comfortable with all basic handgun manipulations (loading, unloading, clearing malfunctions) without assistance in order to participate in this course.
