Tampa Shooters Network

This event will be held at an indoor air-conditioned facility in Okeechobee.

Course Brief: One of our most talked about classes from past students including many Law Enforcement Officers! So you've taken lots of training. You're ready for your "real" gun fight, right? Well, here is a Class where you can use Airsoft Pistols to truly put those theories, skills and training to the test. Students will run through multiple Real-Life Force-on-Force Scenarios to practice and challenge their Real-Time Deadly Force Decision Making and Practical Firearms Skills. Instructors and other students will play innocent bystanders, law enforcement, and threats.

Students will be given a very brief description of the situation they are entering, then must Enter, Make Quick Decisions as to who is whom and How Best to Act, and then React. Throughout the day, students will actually See the Outcome of their "Plan" to Realistic Car Jacking, Kidnapping, Mugging, Armed Robbery, Home Invasion Scenarios and more. Our Instructors will follow up each exercise with a debrief discussing possible actions, solutions and outcomes. It is a real eye opener and thought provoking.

This is a great Confidence-Building class for Concealed Carry License Holders of All Ages, Genders, and Skill Levels and a perfect Complement to Your Live Fire Training.
