Protective Pistol 3

Description

Protective Pistol 3 is an advanced training program designed for private persons and armed professionals. This course builds on the first two levels of our Protective Pistol curriculum to incorporate lessons on skill, mindset, critical thinking and decision-making while handling a firearm in a critical incident.

This course is based upon "Shooting with X-Ray Vision" as developed by Dr. James Stuart Williams MD of Tactical Anatomy Systems™. Participants will recieve an overview of human anatomy,  and learn which body structures are the most immediately impacted, as well as how to visualize those internal structures, regardless of their orientation to the threat and without relying on external landmarks. Participants will learn to deliver precise shots at full speed and under constraint or duress to those internal structures in order to stop the threat more immediately.
