Precision Applications, LLC will be holding a Stress ThReat Engagement Skill Shooting (STRESS) Course on Saturday, March 19, 2016 at the Barrow Co SO's range.

1059 Briscoe Mill Rd
Bethlehem, GA 30620

Course will start at 8am and run until 5pm with a 1 hour break for lunch.

The entire day's events are designed to force the shooter to engage targets with both a carbine and a handgun, at a minimum, while being subjected to various physical and mental stressors and performing a myriad of challenging tasks.

This course is designed to push the individual student to their limits and outside their "comfort zone".  It is a physically and mentally demanding course, but the drills are designed so that, for the most part, the individual student can perform within their physical limitations and at their skill level.......although this is not to say you ain't gonna be pushed!  Our goal as Instructors is to push YOU to YOUR individual limits, and at times a bit beyond.  Not everyone is an Olympic-level athlete....... you aren't required to be, we don't expect you to be, and you do not need to be in order to attend this course.

All drills will use a combination of multiple threats, “no shoot/friendly” targets, targets partially occluded by hard cover, steel targets, moving targets and more.  This is NOT a “plant your feet and shoot on the flat range at a single target” class!

Topics covered will include, but are not limited to:
-Effects of stress on the body
-How to counteract these stresses and train to minimize the effects
-How to best perform under the stresses you cannot get rid of
-Combat Mindset
-Carbine ready positions
-Shooting while moving
-Shooting from either shoulder

Gear list:
Carbine with sling
Minimum of 2 reloads for the carbine on your person
Handgun with holster.  A certain level of retention is not required, but the handgun must be retained under physical exertion.
Minimum of 2 reloads for the handgun on your person
500rds carbine ammo; no tracer, armor piercing or incendiary rounds
200rds handgun ammo
Eye and ear protection
Hat with front brim.  If you prefer a helmet, then wear it.
If you would normally use body armor, plates, vest, carrier, etc., then wear it.
Plenty of water
*All of the gear on your person must be retained during strenuous exercise

The course is limited to 20 students.  Course fee is $300 paid in advance.  We accept checks, money orders, cash and discrete PayPal (you pay the 3.5% fees, no "gifts" please).  Your spot is not guaranteed until your course fee is received.

Course is well over half full

I have obtained a MotoShot remote-controlled mobile target system and will be using it at this course.

I'm getting asked a lot of questions about this course, on this site and others.

You do not have to be an Olympian to take this course. You will be working against yourself, not others, as most drills are run individually. You will be pushed to your individual physical and technical levels and a bit past.....enough to get you out of your comfort zone.

These are not typical flat range drills. In addition to the firearms you bring to run the course, you will be exposed to other weapons some of you may have never used before.

All courses of fire incorporate threats, "no shoots" and/or hostages, and threats using hard cover.

This is an excellent chance for many of you to find out exactly where your current training regimen is lacking. If you want to improve your skills as a gunfighter, and who doesn't, then this class is an excellent yardstick.

Keep the questions coming. I will only teach this course once a year. It takes 4 Instructors and 2 ranges to run it, with quit a bit of props and set up. Once a year is enough!

Only a couple of slots remaining.

I have changed the location of the course to the Barrow Co SO's range.

See y'all there.

This was a great learning experience. Knowing how you and your gear perform in less than optimal situation is invaluable.
Thanks Shep.

I've never had as much positive feedback for a course as I've had for this one.  I'll try to offer it again in the fall.

big thumbs up
