Drawing From Concealment:
Reloaded
Now that you have your license, it's time to take the next step and ensure you have a foundation for engaging from concealment.
​
This new and improved one day class is an introduction to address the challenges of drawing a firearm from concealment for self-defense purposes. It sets the groundwork for the Advanced Concealed Carry class. This class is designed for those who have yet to begun to train for concealment draw, however are already started in firearms. Each student must demonstrate solid safety skills and be able to efficiently operate their gun during live fire.
This class is ONLY available to those who have already lawfully obtained their CWL (concealed weapons license). All students are expected to present proof of their license to join the class. The license must be current, not expired, and not revoked.
​
At the culmination of this class, students will have completed the basic concealment draw fundamentals to include understanding safe effective holster work, safely overcoming a cover garment to engage a deadly threat. They will have the opportunity to discover potential flaws in their gear and carry style, which will help them readjust for effective carrying.
Students will engage in shooting one handed and two handed shooting drills. Participants will receive thorough guidance with each exercise, then feedback for continued improvement.

ALL students must bring a holster and belt regardless of other carry systems they use. Students with a belt and holster carry system experience the greatest results in the class. Be sure that your carry holster was chosen to match your hand dominance and IWB (In the Waist Band). OWB (Out of the Waist Band) is fine if you have a cover garment to conceal the gun.
​
Those who use a belly band, please be sure it is quality gear that will withstand the length of the course.
