Instructor: Travis Snyder- Progressive Force Concepts
Training Details:
4hrs – Code 4 Concepts (C4C)
is the arm of PFC Training that delivers intermediate use-of-force, subject control, physical defense and combatives instruction. C4C is a comprehensive system based on proven methods and principles that allow users to stop or dominate combative events. C4C outperforms other defensive training systems because it is principle-based as opposed to technique-based. Most military, law enforcement, and martial arts training involves numerous techniques that must be learned, perfected, and remembered.
3hrs – The PFC “TCAIR” (Trauma Care and Immediate Response) training program
aims to span the bridge of job, environment, and mission-specific in-extremis pre-hospitalization trauma care (at times under fire) for individuals of all skill levels. As an armed professional, service member, or first responder, being medically capable is required for survival and saving lives. And if you are a civilian, you may need to treat yourself or loved ones during a time-sensitive trauma scenario. Understanding anatomy, methods, and critical equipment can literally spell the difference between life and death. Anyone can make a dramatic lifesaving impact during high priority events and emergencies if they are equipped with the right medical training. This version of the course will address scene safety, patient assessment, hemorrhage control, airway progression, and other life-threatening emergencies. Then, concludes with evac care considerations.
The VirTra Red Dot Transition and Sustainment program was written in conjunction with Matt Jacques from Victory First. It is designed to take officers with little to no experience with the pistol mounted red dot optic and equip them with the necessary skills to successfully transition from traditional Iron sights to a pistol mounted red dot optic. The course will be conducted in the VirTra simulator and on a live fire range. Additionally, the course provides sustainment material to help officers to continue building the skill set necessary for proper presentation of the pistol.
The sustainment package was designed to give officers specific drills that can be conducted in the simulator pre or post daily briefings or as a supplement to range qualification days. It takes an in depth look at some the more popular red dot optics on the market today but is not intended as an all-encompassing recommendation as to what optics to choose or avoid. Please refer to your agency’s Authorized Equipment List for guidance on choosing a red dot optic for use on your service pistol.
The course is certified by the International Association of Directors of Law Enforcement Standards and Training (IADLEST) and meets POST requirements in 38 States. It contains a pre-test, lecture post-test and range drills and exemplifies VirTra’s dedication to our Teach, Train, Test, Sustain philosophy.
Equipment required:
Duty belt to include service pistol with a Pistol Mounted Red Dot Sight (PMRDS)
Where do today’s top military and LE units go for firearms training? They go to the competition shooters. Competition shooters understand the importance of speed & accuracy & how to continuously balance the two. LE firearms training shares many of the same goals as the competition shooter which takes LE Firearms Training to the Next Level.
Shooters new to competition can often be overwhelmed with competition rules and philosophies. This course will provide the shooters with a chance to experience several different types of shooting competition stages. Then, we will discuss how to integrate competition concepts & techniques directly to LE training to move your agency’s training to the next level. Traditional firearms training is great for the new shooter, but is not adequate for the development of high level firearms skills. This course is a blend of lots of shooting stages for the student, discussion, development, & implementation of new techniques and a close look at the pros and cons of traditional techniques.
Students must be highly proficient with safely shooting, gun handling, and moving around in the range with their unholstered pistol. After some training, students will be expected to run & score other shooters targets as part of the learning process.
Shooting on the reactive steel bobber range will push your skills to the limit. This course will demonstrate that a properly prepared officer can execute accurate shots in exceptionally short time windows, including less than one second. This course is not a“quick draw” session, but rather a session designed to reveal your real capabilities in drawing, accuracy, speed, and magazine changes. No matter how fast and accurate you are now, this course will make you better.
Instructor: Brian Hartman- Progressive Force Concepts
Training Details:
In the absence of cover, movement itself affords you protection. Maneuver warfare has proven time and again that movement performed under correct distance and timing often leads to victory. This course aims to create gunfighters that can proactively employ motion in a controlled, balanced and dynamic manner that pushes adversaries to exploitable errors. Training topics include a Combative Manipulations review, Moving Manipulations, the Reactive Turn Series, the Reactive Step Series, Shooting-on-the-Move, the Traveling Movement Series, bilateral applications, Advancing & Retreating Angle Drills, Hybrid Movements, Momentum Drills, and dynamic moving & shooting exercises.
Vehicle CQB is an accelerated shooting class focused on positional shooting and a critical look at how we have historically fought in and around vehicles. Students will push the boundaries of “traditional” cover and concealment utilizing various cars and trucks in a true 3D environment. Drills will incorporate critical weapon employment while engaging threats in, around, from, over and under vehicles with a heavy emphasis on problem solving. Live ballistic demos with a variety of ammunition will be conducted as the class explores ballistic deflection, deformation, penetration and terminal effect in direct correlation to various vehicle mediums. Both days of this course will be long days, so come prepared.
The daily schedule will be:
Intro/safety/med
vcqb data
positional work
ballistics demo
interior work – bail outs
