Course Description

Developed by the late Jack Vickery, a Firearms Instructor and Assistant Team Leader for the Cleveland FBI SWAT, this course is designed for law enforcement officers and SWAT team members who have limited time and resources for training. With such constraints, it's critical that training time is maximized for the best results.

Based on the Pareto Principle (80/20 Rule), this course focuses on the 20% of the most important skills that will yield 80% of the desired results. Through years of training and experience, we've identified these key skills, and you'll learn techniques that are reliable, repeatable, and consistent across all aspects of law enforcement.

This course will not only improve your gunfighting skills but also provide a systematic approach that can be integrated into your overall firearms training program.
