Master Instinctive Shooting At Close Quarters
Sharpen your instincts and master the art of instinctive firearm handling in high-stress situations. Working with the human eye's natural tendency to be target-focused — in tandem with your innate hand-eye coordination — Reflexive Shooting unlocks speed and accuracy you can't reach by chasing a front sight. The method is rooted in the close-combat experience and teachings of CQB icons Talbert, Applegate, Sykes, and Fairbairn.
Drills are executed without sights, guiding participants to levels of speed and accuracy that will impress even the most dedicated "front sight focus" advocates. Through guided drills and hands-on practice, you'll build the reflexive skills needed to react confidently and effectively when every second counts — ideal for defensive shooters seeking to elevate reaction time and decision-making under pressure.
What You'll Master In 4 Hours
Every drill is engineered to bypass deliberation and build the kind of trained instinct that holds up when the clock is the only thing that matters.
