It is strongly recommended that you have attended DP201,
We will continue to work on speed to presentation and various engagement distances. We will continue to reinforce your ability to clear malfunctions under stress. We will continue to work alternate shooting positions and we will work on “impaired shooter” drills including hand transitions, one handed reloading, firing, malfunction clearances etc. We will also introduce stress inoculation drills. We will begin to work from “non-traditional” shooting positions that lead directly to application in “real life”.
