This course is the first step in building on the foundation set in Pistol 101.

Skills covered include draw from a holster, reloads, turns, body transitions, handling corners, and linear and lateral movement while shooting.

    Due to the physical nature inherent with this course, it is advised that students who sign up be physically capable of kneeling, standing from kneeling without using their hands, lying down and standing from a lying position, and jogging. Note that previous students with hip mobility issues have had difficulty in this course. TBTG will always do what we can to accommodate those students who cannot physically perform a portion of training, but we cannot devote course time to give alternate instructions. If you require special accommodations, please notify us when applying for the course or before the course begins and you may sit out for that portion of training.
