Sand Burr Courses

Experts Say:

In “Advanced Police Firearms Training”, Detective Reichard taught the officers to limit unnecessary movement and urged the use of high quality, and properly designed leather. He taught the officer to draw quickly with the minimum of wasted movement and to fire rapidly at multiple targets. This emphasizes a point all too often overlooked: you cannot shoot fast enough to make up for a miss. Reichard told the officers to concentrate on getting a good grip the first time, to avoid the side step and the leg crouching or squatting that officers were once instructed to do. All this wastes valuable time.

Defensive Revolver

An increasing number of people are seeking to improve their defensive shooting skills and expand their knowledge about the use of firearms for personal protection. Over 28 states now issue concealed weapon permits to law abiding citizens and more are expected to revise their laws in 1996. DTI classes offer permit holders and those who are considering applying for a permit an opportunity to learn how to properly and safely carry a concealed handgun and to understand the laws regarding the use of lethal force for personal protection.

The DTI Defensive Handgun Course is designed to prepare the responsible, adult gun owner to handle, maintain, safely store, and use their firearm safely, responsibly, correctly, and effectively, so that they are able to successfully handle nearly any personal protection situation.

The course will consist of classroom lecture/demonstration and live-fire exercises on the range.

Classroom instruction includes:
  • situation awareness
  • threat evaluation
  • the force continuum
  • courtroom savvy
  • the latest information on the physio/psychological aspects of lethal encounters.
