Greg Ellifritz- “Responding to the Close Range Handgun Threat...Empty Hand Skills for Gunfighters”

Description: In a close range gunfight, a seamless transition between handgun skills and empty hand tactics is necessary. Unfortunately, many accomplished pistol shooters don’t have a background in unarmed fighting and for whatever reason (time, health, fitness, lack of desire) won’t seek additional empty hand training.

This class is designed to bridge the gap between unarmed fighting and pistol shooting for the person with limited empty hand combative skills. We will cover simple, easy to retain movements that work well under stress. In the two-hour block we will discuss and practice how to stop an opponent’s draw, how to draw your own weapon while fighting, how to deflect or disarm your opponent’s weapon, and the mechanics of making a successful contact shot from retention. Simple lethal force hand strikes will also be practiced.

Students should bring a training weapon (blue or red gun) and a quality holster. If no training weapon is available, bring your carry pistol. We will temporarily render the weapon safe so that it cannot chamber live ammunition and use it in the training class. No live ammo/loaded magazines will be allowed in the training area.

Rob Pincus-I.C.E. Training, Instructor Training/Program Development, lecture, classroom

Jon Hodoway- Nighthawk Custom Training- Using Modern Technology to Enhance Personal Security, lecture, classroom

Skip Gochenour- American Tactical Shooting Association- TBA, classroom

Shane Gosa- Inpection and Maintenance, Weapons and Support Gear, lecture and demo, classroom

Marty Hayes- Marty Hayes, (Director of the Firearms Academy of Seattle, Inc. and President of the Armed Citizens' Legal Defense Network) along with Kathy Jackson, (Cornered Cat Training Company) will lead a discussion session on "Establishing Protocols for Safe Range Training." As more and more people get into the business of conducting defensive firearms training, the need to establish some industry standards on how to conduct safe range training is becoming increasingly important. Here is why. In any lawsuit for negligence (or worse) the plaintiffs will first get the opportunity to proffer their experts on range safety protocols, and educate the jury as to what they believe is the industry standard on operating safe range training. In essence, THEY get to establish the industry standard, and then explain to the jury how the respondant (instructor or shooting school director) violated those standards. The instructor will of course have his or her own experts to counter the plaintiff’s assertion, but it will be difficult to accomplish, given the injury to the plaintiff. Consequently, we professional instructors need to establish an industry standard which we can operate under, and then if an incident occurs, we will then have much more power with which to argue our non culpability. Give it some thought, jot down some notes and let’s have a serious discussion and see where this leads to.
In addition, there is a low light match with realistic scenarios and life-like mannequin targets that only fall to solid center chest hits. All training segments, the match, and a prize drawing are included in one entry fee, $289. This event fills well in advance. Go to www.rangemaster.com to download registration forms.
