Low Profile Operations

2 Day Course - $450

The prepared citizen cannot rely on hardware alone. He must be able to instantly respond to a dynamic and complex threat environment with his kit on hand and put rounds on target across a wide spectrum of plausible circumstances, accurately, and on demand. Low Profile Operations is a performance based training course designed from the ground up to develop the skillset necessary to respond to the immediate threat in an emergent situation. Your current skills will be put to the test, your current mode of thinking will be analyzed and refined, and you will emerge better prepared to respond to critical threats in your daily lives.   All rifles need to be zeroed prior to arrival. Time will be allotted for the class to confirm their zero and that is all. We will engage targets from 0-200 meters. You will be held to a high standard of accuracy!

Notes on gear: This course is designed to improve the your ability to operate and engage lethal threats with everyday carry gear and “home defense/vehicle carbine”. The baseline requirement for this class is to operate 100% from concealment. Students will be authorized to carry one pistol and one carbine reload solution on the belt, ideally from a pouch/caddy designed specifically for concealed carry. Intent is for the majority of reloads to come from pockets, coats, courier bags, or backpacks.

If you are an armed professional who utilizes certain concealment based tactical gear in the execution of your duties, by all means please bring it with you and train with it.
