Frequently Asked Questions

What is force-on-force training and why is it used?

Force-on-force training utilizes simulated ammunition like Simunition and protective gear to replicate real-world combat scenarios. This allows individuals to practice defensive tactics, decision-making, and weapon handling under stress in a safe, controlled environment, enhancing preparedness for actual threats.

What are key takeaways for homeowners facing a potential home invasion?

Experts advise against inviting strangers into your home, even if they appear to need help. If a confrontation occurs, focus on creating distance, de-escalating if possible, and seizing opportune moments to draw your weapon and engage decisively if necessary.

How should one react if an attacker attempts to disarm them or control their weapon?

If an attacker tries to control your firearm, maintain close contact, move off the line of attack, and focus on controlling the muzzle direction. The goal is to prevent the assailant from regaining an advantage or re-aiming the weapon.

What defines 'acceptable accuracy' in a self-defense shooting scenario?

Acceptable accuracy in self-defense is not about hitting a bullseye. It's about the ability to rapidly place multiple shots on a target, ensuring incapacitation of the threat, rather than achieving pinpoint precision under extreme stress.
