Description

Course Focus: Vehicle Defense & Engagement Tactics in Parking Lot Encounters
 
This intensive 4-hour specialized training course is designed to address the unique complexities of a defensive encounter in and around a vehicle—a high-risk location where many attacks occur. Utilizing SIRT and Simunitions, you will practice tactical movement, drawing, and engagement, leveraging your vehicle for cover and defense.
 
What You Will Master:
 
  • Drawing & Engaging from Inside a Vehicle: Master the compressed and complicated draw stroke required to safely deploy a concealed firearm while seated inside a car.
 
  • Exiting & Using the Vehicle as Cover: Learn effective techniques for safely exiting a vehicle under duress and utilizing engine blocks, pillars, and door gaps for cover while engaging a threat.
 
  • Shooting from Seated & Standing Positions: Practice engaging targets from inside the vehicle (seated) and immediately upon exiting (standing).
 
  • Countering Carjackings & Ambush Scenarios: Participate in realistic, scenario-based drills to test your response to common vehicle-based threats.
 
  • Tactical Movement & Situational Awareness in Parking Lots: Develop heightened awareness and tactical movement skills for navigating common parking lot threats.
