Note: This course will be one of several building block courses this training season that each will be a prerequisite to the next course, all of which will lead up to a multi day course this fall. To those that might have a scheduling conflict with any of these building block courses, you may contact us and our staff will be happy to make considerations on a case by case basis of skill level and mindset, as we want to keep the rabbiting and racing out and only solid fundamentals of operations and tactics moving forward.

Prerequisite: Must have attended one of our Handgun, Carbine, or Tactics courses in the last 12-months. (Others May Check with us if you are in the 12-24 Month Time Line, and we will consider your level on a personal basis)

The handgun is primarily a defensive weapon. Small and easy to conceal, it is often the first choice when selecting a firearm for defense. The handgun is the most difficult to master in comparison to the shotgun, carbine/rifle, or sub-machine gun.

If you are going to be relying on a handgun for self-defense, then you need to be able to use it properly with accuracy and safety.

Our emphasis is to introduce the Fundamentals of Firearms Safety to the novice, and will teach the skills necessary to properly use the revolver and semi-automatic handgun in a self-defense situation.

Successful completion of this course qualifies as approved training for a Minnesota Permit to Carry. Defensive Edge is a MN BCA Approved Training Provider.

This comprehensive course emphasizes fundamentals and marksmanship, while perfecting skills at varying distances.

A student will learn to engage different sizes and shapes of targets at varying distances. The element of movement shooting is added to the individual tactics and handling techniques. Multiple targets will be engaged at varying distances while on the move.

Limited visibility techniques, instinctive shooting techniques, firing positions, cover and concealment, including weak hand shooting will be practiced and polished. A higher stress level is introduced to hone skills at faster speeds with an emphasis on shot placement.
