JUDGMENT SHOOTING & USE OF DEADLY FORCE
Duration: One day
Venue: Classroom
Prerequisite: None:  This program utilizes actual weapons that have been permanently altered to fire laser pulses only, rendering them legal for use by anyone.  Local law strictly adhered to. 
Required equipment: None.  All equipment will be provided by GSG.  Students are permitted to use their own holster upon approval by the instructor.

Many law enforcement officers, protection specialists or members of the military are familiar with the Firearms Training Simulator (F.A.T.S.) system.  The most current version of this technology is the Meggitt XVT system and it is the one used by Global Security Group.  Our in-house program will allow the trainee to combine firearms proficiency, tactics and verbal commands during interactive electronically simulated scenarios.  During these simulated situations the participant will be required to demonstrate appropriate judgement in the use of their weapons.  Much of the discussion will stress how a proper tactical approach can often prevent a situation from escalating to the point where deadly force becomes necessary.  Taught by a former primary tactical firearms instructor at the FBI/DEA Academy it is a unique opportunity to receive the same type of training given to the most elite law enforcement units in the world.

Class size is STRICTLY limited to eight (8) participants.

FIREARMS INSTRUCTOR SCHOOL

(Larger organizations may benefit from having their own personnel trained as firearms instructor, therefore we are offering an instructor level class).

Duration: Two weeks
Venue: Classroom and range
Prerequisite: Current firearms instructor or highly qualified instructor candidates.

An effective firearms instructor must possess exceptional ability in the handling of the weapons with which he or she is going to train people. Of equal importance, however, is the ability to teach. This critical element is often lacking among firearms instructors. This program, therefore, will not only cover all of the material in each of the tactical shooting programs above, it will also emphasize methods of instruction, diagnosing common shooting errors, preparation of instructional materials and oral presentation. The mark of a good firearms instructor is not only that they can shoot well themselves, but also how well they can teach others to do the same.  Our instructors have taught generations of law enforcement instructors to train others and our curriculum goes well beyond the firearms instructor program of both the DEA and FBI.

NOTE: A high level of shooting ability is required to pass this course. We will provide several qualification courses to you that may be administered by any competent instructor. We rely on your representation that as an attendee you have achieved the minimum scores prior to attending this class.

KOSHER FIREARMS TRAINING EXCURSIONS

Those of us who keep kosher often find it difficult to travel to many locations because kosher meals are not available.  This is also true with respect to travel to many firearms training facilities which are often located in places far removed from any place that can provide kosher meals. To address this need, we have located several sites in various parts of the US where living accommodations are physically located on the same premises as the firearms training ranges. These locations are equipped with gourmet kitchens, and we have arranged with the owners of these facilities to allow us to bring in an orthodox rabbi to inspect and kosher the kitchen for our use. We provide a kosher chef and mashgiach to prepare delicious kosher meals and snacks during your stay. These excursions are put together with a minimum of 10 persons per session with single and double occupancy rooms available. We can handle groups as large as 25 people per session with the facilities we currently have available. Most excursions are two to three days in length with additional training provided upon request.  Please contact us at training@sixtymightymen.com.
