Concealed Carry Refresher

It has been said that owning a pistol no more makes you a shooter than owning a piano makes you a musician.  It is critical to learn and practice the skills of shooting a pistol and training for the real world.  It is equally important to work with an instructor to refine your skills.  Practice does not make perfect, only perfect practice does.  Bad practice just makes you bad.

This class is designed to reinforce those skills you learned in previous courses, especially those “training” classes that consisted of a test of 30 or 40 rounds and no real skill development.  Not just another test, this course will reinforce those skills you need to effectively operate as a concealed carry shooter.

Shooting with Movement

Movement is a significant differentiator and the world is dynamic.  From a defensive perspective standing in one spot is likely to produce undesirable results.   Transitioning to movement and shooting on the move, requires developing skills with your feet, adapting to changing balance and unusual stances to maintain proficiency

Not just a familiarization class, this course will provide you with the additional tools to safely and effectively operate in a world that moves.

One Handed Pistol Operator

This course brings aspects of the real world of gun fighting to training.  In a self defense scenario it is very likely you will be forced into a situation where it is impossible to engage using the proper two handed grip.  Developing skills in one handed operations is an essential component in your toolbox of skills you need to develop and maintain to have that tactical advanatage in a deadly force encounter.

Low Light Operations

An FBI study showed that about 70% of gunfights occur in low light conditions.  Darkness is an advantage to attackers and they use it.  So learning how to deal with darkness is an essential skill.  This course will enable you to operate more effectively in low light, how to select and use tools that can improve your effectiveness.

Not just a familiarization class, this course will provide you with the additional skills to operate in a world that is mostly dark.

Shooting from Alternative Positions

The world isn’t square and you can’t always pick your playing field.  Not only learn how to compensate for unusual terrain but learn to choose the best positions to balance speed, support and protection required by real world circumstances.  This course will provide you with the additional tools to safely and effectively use the best position for the situation

The Joomla! content management system lets you create webpages of various types using extensions. There are 5 basic types of extensions: components, modules, templates, languages, and plugins. Your website includes the extensions you need to create a basic website in English, but thousands of additional extensions of all types are available. The Joomla! Extensions Directory is the largest directory of Joomla extensions.

Components are larger extensions that produce the major content for your site. Each component has one or more "views" that control how content is displayed. In the Joomla administrator there are additional extensions such as Menus, Redirection, and the extension managers.

Modules are small blocks of content that can be displayed in positions on a web page. The menus on this site are displayed in modules. The core of Joomla! includes 24 separate modules ranging from login to search to random images. Each module has a name that starts mod_ but when it displays it has a title. In the descriptions in this section, the titles are the same as the names.

Content modules display article and other information from the content component.

User modules interact with the user system, allowing users to login, show who is logged-in, and showing the most recently registered users.

These modules display information from components other than content and user. These include weblinks, news feeds and the media manager.

Utility modules provide useful functionality such as search, syndication and statistics.

Navigation modules help your visitors move through your site and find what they need.

Menus provide your site with structure and help your visitors navigate your site. Although they are all based on the same menu module, the variety of ways menus are used in the sample data show how flexible this module is.

A menu can range from extremely simple (for example the top menu or the menu for the Australian Parks sample site) to extremely complex (for example the About Joomla! menu with its many levels). They can also be used for other types of presentation such as the site map linked from the "This Site" menu.

Breadcrumbs provide users with information about where they are in a site.

Templates give your site its look and feel. They determine layout, colours, typefaces, graphics and other aspects of design that make your site unique. Your installation of Joomla comes prepackaged with three front end templates and two backend templates. Help

Plugins are small task oriented extensions that enhance the Joomla! framework. Some are associated with particular extensions and others, such as editors, are used across all of Joomla. Most beginning users do not need to change any of the plugins that install with Joomla. Help
