TRAINING COURSES

The primary pistol shooting system we employ and teach is the military Natural Point of Aim (NPA) combat shooting system.  Our syllabus for each of our five main combat shooting courses, from Basic through Advanced, comes directly from the military syllabus.

A symmetrical triangle platform that defines the posture, grip, aiming and recovery of pistol combat.
 

It provides upper body stability and lower body mobility for consistent, intuitive pistol shooting while moving or static with multiple shots on multiple targets.
 

It incorporates shooting from high ready (position 4) and low ready or retention (position 3).  It allows for the instinctive requirement of focusing on the target.   It requires no sights or external aids, but is suited for use with red dots, lasers, weapon lights and night vision goggles, using both sighted fire and point shooting techniques.

NPA is where your hands and body naturally put the gun.  Rather than moving the gun to align with the target, you need to move your body so when you hold the gun properly it will naturally line up on the target.  It utilizes:  1. natural body posture 2. symmetrical tool use 3. normal pointing to provide the instinctive basis of the system.   

A combat system must be natural,  consistently repeatable, efficient and accurate.  NPA provides all of these required features and is combat proven.

Center Axis Relock (CAR) is utilized as a Close Quarters Battle (CQB) combat pistol shooting system that is useful for firearm retention and shooting from inside a vehicle.   We teach techniques of this system in our Advanced Handgun Course.
