This dynamic new course focuses on the close range interval where most actual gunfights occur, yet where most organized shooting schools stop. This is a non-doctrinal, non-dogmatic approach to the problem. We will focus on fighting within arm's length to 5 yards where, like it or not, 85% of all real gunfights take place. We will spend much of the course learning proven strategies for close range combat. We will learn how to move and shoot freely and cover a 360 degree environment on the move without an antiquated "square range" focus. We will fire from weapon retention positions, two-hand and one hand firing positions, and alternative shooting platforms. You will learn alternative sighting methods (this is bound to be controversial), alternative force issues, and the all-important issues of mind-set and the after effects of a gunfight. Weapon retention will be discussed as well as Gabe Suarez' ground breaking Aftermath of a Gunfight Lecture. Open to BOTH civilian defenders and professional operators. This course is student-focused to make you the best fighter you can be. Its reality-based taking into consideration what really happens in a fight, not just on the range. It is concepts-driven and all techniques are fit to you, not dogmatic. And above all, it is combat-proven in the real world environments where losing is never an option. This is as far, and as fast as you can go with live fire weapons on a shooting range.

***BONUS***
Gabe is also agreed to teach a one day Combative Knife course on December 15 at the same range.

The modern folding knife is one of the most popular defensive weapons in America, specially in the few states where firearms may not be carried concealed. This course is for anyone interested in learning the responsible defensive use of the tactical folding knife against violent adversaries.

In this exciting new course you will learn a simple and effective system for deploying your "Tactical Folding Knife" against modern-based threats. You will learn about pre and post event actions, important legal issues, quick and covert one-handed opening, lethal and non-lethal applications, special counter-terror knife deployment, selecting targets, methods and angles of attack and defense, issues of human reaction time, and how it all applies in this situation. Just as important, you will learn the concepts of force integration and how to blend body weapons, firearms, and other tools into the martial blade system. If you carry a modern tactical folding knife, you need this course.
 
I have been going back and forth on whether or not I should take this course. I have been spending way to much money. I am taking 556 at Gunsite in about a week and it was expensive. I checked their website and it is the second most expensive class they offer.
I will probably take it if there is an opening in a couple weeks.

I did sign up for the knife class, since I can afford that.
 
If anyone from out of town is planning on attending this course, please feel free to contact me for lodging suggestions near the range. We'll be using an outdoor range in Boulder City, about 15-20 minutes outside of Las Vegas proper.

December is a beautiful time of year in southern Nevada. Still cool, but should be sunny and in the 50s.

For those who've asked, I apologize for the delay in getting this info posted:

Here are two hotels/motels in Boulder City that will put you about 5-10 minutes from the range:

Best Western

Boulder Dam

The Fiesta Henderson is probably the best (I'm speaking relatively the best here) if you want a casino environment. It's about 20 minutes from the range:

Living in Las Vegas, I haven't spent the night in any of these places, so I can't vouch for the quality of the rooms. There are others out there, but I think these three would be your best bet to start your search.
