Frequently Asked Questions

What is auditory exclusion and tunnel vision in self-defense?

Auditory exclusion is the inability to hear sounds during high stress, while tunnel vision is a narrowing of focus, both of which can impair situational awareness and lead to critical mistakes in defensive encounters.

Why is force-on-force training important for concealed carriers?

Force-on-force training, using tools like Simunition, allows permit holders to experience and learn to manage the psychological effects of stress, such as tunnel vision and auditory exclusion, in realistic scenarios.

How can laser sights improve defensive shooting?

Laser sights help with faster sight acquisition in low-light or high-stress situations. They allow shooters to aim more quickly without needing a perfect focus on traditional iron sights.

What is 'soft focus' in tactical training?

'Soft focus' involves not staring intently at a single target. This technique helps maintain broader situational awareness, allowing a defender to better track multiple threats in a confined space.
