Bring the Safety Rules to LIFE (LIVE FIRE)

Description

This 3 hour in person class live fire class is centered around understanding the 4 safety rules through ACTION and repetition. Our goal is to bring the safety rules to LIFE through dry practice and live fire and to start calling them the LIVING RULES.

This class is will be a different experience for you! It is very interactive with a focus on drills, context and practical application of the 4 primary safety rules. We need to think about the safety rules in the purpose in which they were intended, and offering ways to practice the application of the contextual decisons necessary for the armed citizen. Let's give more meaning to "keep your finger off the trigger....., safe direction....., be sure of your target....., and treat as loaded....". This class will do just that!

• Beginner, intermediate and advanced shooters
• Firearm instructors

2. Never point a gun at anything you aren't willing to destroy:Don't point a gun at yourself or another person.
3. Keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are on the target: Keep your finger off the trigger and outside the trigger guard until you are ready to shoot. 
4. Be certain of your target and what is around and behind it: Consider what's beyond your target
