Advanced Concealed Carry with Trident Concepts, LLC

Overview

The ADVANCED CONCEALED CARRY (ACC) is a one-day course on the practical application of everyday carry defensive pistols. In this advanced course, students will be placed in real settings where their carry and shooting skills must be applied versus accuracy and time standards. Close range marksmanship will primarily focus on speed and while meeting minimum accuracy standards. Long range marksmanship will emphasize capability by accurately engaging targets while meeting minimum time standards. Subjects covered include, cognitive load drills, interrupted draw stroke, shooting on the move, drawing while seated, shooting from cover, and drawing/shooting strong hand only. A course objective is the rapid engagement of multiple rounds at close range versus multiple targets at various ranges. Additional subjects where time permits include draw stroke contingencies, reduced targets, hand transfers, and shooting weak hand only.
