Day Two of this two-day class is a detailed shooting course, and shooting is from the holster.  Students learn to safely present the handgun from the holster, perform emergency reloads, clear malfunctions, address threats to the side and rear, how to apply the fundamentals of shooting to result in accurate fire, and more.
