Description

This isn’t a shooting class.
This is how bullets actually stop dangerous threats—taught by someone who sees what happens when they don’t.

Tactical Anatomy & Ballistics Lab is a one-day deep dive into real trauma medicine, wound ballistics, and practical gunfighting—focused on physiologic incapacitation and real-world shot placement.

No myths.
No internet nonsense.
Just anatomy, angles, and accountability.

 

If you’ve been saying “I need to take this class someday…”
Someday is now.

Expectations and Outcomes

  • A clear understanding of what actually stops a threat—and what doesn’t
  • The ability to target critical anatomy from any angle
  • Real-time decision-making when your first hits aren’t working

  • Bolie Stokes

The course is rooted in the medically informed, three-dimensional, target-focused firearms training pioneered by Dr. James S. Williams and is designed to equip students with:

  • A working understanding of tactical anatomy

  • A strong survival mindset

You can expect immersive lectures, real-world case studies, and a prop-rich live-fire block that bridge the gap between static range shooting and effectively stopping a determined violent threat.
