BASIC - EFFECTIVE USE OF FORCE/UNORTHODOX SHOOTING POSITIONS (09/22/2026)

Wed, 23 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT

Basic Effective Use of Cover / Unorthodox Shooting Positions

5 PM - 8:30 PM in the Pistol Pit

$30 for members, $60 for non-members

We will discuss the proper use of cover, and some things to look out for before shooting over, around, through and under various barricades using the firearm of your choice (pistol/rifle/shotgun).

You will need the firearm of your choice (pistol/rifle/shotgun) and approximately 150 rounds of ammunition, bring more if you have an itchy trigger finger. Please arrive with several magazines / speed loaders loaded. Leave one magazine completely empty so we can start off with a little dry fire for safety purposes.

We will be shooting from standing/kneeling/side prone/laying on back, if you have a shooting pad or large piece of cardboard you may want to bring that to use as a barrier between you and the ground.

In ear hearing protection (ear plugs) is recommended for some of the shooting positions.

Remember, all firearms must be taken to the firing line in a bag, a case or a holster. Do not handle uncased/unholstered firearms anywhere else on the property, including at your car or behind the designated firing line. All handling will be under the direct supervision of a club certified RSO.

If you are using a long gun for the class please bring a chamber flag for use between drills.

Advanced Defensive Handgun

PRE-REGISTRATION IS MANDATORY!!!

Safety Meeting Starts at 5:00 to 5:15 check-in and course set up.

If you cannot stay until 9 p.m. to help clean up you must help set up! No free-baggers.

This clinic is to test seasoned shooters using induced stress activities, movement, multiple threats and decision making when engaging threats. YOU MUST have successfully passed the skills test during the 101 and 201 beginner handgun clinics and have approval from the Shoot Master before taking this class. Alternately, if you can score under 35 in the Wilson 5x5 drill at 7 yards you may participate. (Must be witnessed by a Club RSO)

Advanced shooters may draw safely from OWB provided the holster completely covers the trigger guard. You may draw from concealment using any pistol approved on your California CCW license. No steel ammo on steel targets. Round counts can be anywhere from 150-300 rounds depending on what is being practiced, but you can always shoot less.

This clinic is to improve your solid foundational skills while improving speed and accuracy from the holster in stressful situations and while moving or shooting from compromised positions. We hold this class regardless of weather, and in very low light or no light conditions.

Costs: Cash only and exact change preferred

Members: $5
