Classes with Patriot Firearms School & Defense

Improving Our “Carry and Defend” and “Defensive Shooting” Skills

​During the past month we took two shooting classes with Bill Dalpe from Patriot Firearms School & Defense: “Carry and Defend 1.0” and “AR-15 Defensive Shooting”. Both of the classes were worthwhile since they helped us practice and hone our existing skills and taught us some new techniques.

The Description for the Carry and Defend class was: Elevate your live fire skills beyond the static draw and shoot format. To achieve this we will expose you to neurological conditioning linking your basic skills (physical) to in context (your brain) realistic training. This better prepares you to use these skills under dynamic stress. Become an efficient defender for yourself and your family. The following topics are covered:
 

• Gear and firearm review
• Sighted vs unsighted fire review
• Improve your defensive shooting accuracy (evaluation)
• Firearms malfunctions and how to clear them (Failure drills)
• Multiple target engagement
• To shoot or not to shoot (situational drills)
• Scan and access (360-degree awareness drills)
• Think… think… think (mental drills)
• Move it (shooting on the move drills)

The Description for the AR-15 Defensive Shooting class was: This Patriot AR-15 Defensive Shooting class is designed to expose students to an efficient method of defending themselves with an AR-15 during a dynamic critical incident. All of the principles and fundamentals of the USCCA AR-15 Shooting Fundamentals program are applied. The following topics are covered:
 

• Four Points of Contact with an AR-15 and Intuitive Shooting Fundamentals
• The Balance of Speed & Precision with an AR-15
• Primary and Secondary Aiming Methods
• Zeroing concepts
• Volume of Fire
• Critical Incident Reloads & Efficient AR-15 Handling
• Fundamental AR-15 Malfunction Clearing
