Frequently Asked Questions

What is the most overlooked aspect of concealed carry training?

The most overlooked aspect of concealed carry (CCW) training is movement. While stationary shooting is a foundational skill, real-world self-defense encounters often require dynamic responses, including drawing and firing while moving to create distance or evade threats.

Why is it important to train drawing and shooting while moving?

Training to draw and shoot while moving is crucial because many self-defense situations involve dynamic threats that do not stand still. Movement allows you to create distance, evade attacks, and maintain a tactical advantage, which can be life-saving when facing an aggressor.

What are the three essential skills for effective moving and shooting?

The three essential skills for effective moving and shooting are: 1) drawing your firearm without looking down, 2) building a proper grip quickly while in motion, and 3) maintaining target focus on the threat rather than your sights or aiming device.

What is the recommended training distance for CCW movement drills?

The recommended training distance for most CCW movement drills is between 3 to 7 yards. This range statistically reflects where most self-defense shootings occur and presents a higher risk of a threat reaching you, emphasizing the need for distance creation.
