Ballistic Shield Skills: Level One
Ballistic Shield Skills: Level One
Lodestone Skills classes are designed as a 3-hour supplement to our normal Marksmanship and Combat Marksmanship classes, to provide an additional opportunity for training. We have kept the round count limited to 150 rounds. This is to ensure the opportunity to train while we are going through this ammo crunch. The Skills classes will take the skills and concepts that you’ve already learned and reinforce them with additional repetition. They also introduce additional skills and concepts that might not fit into a regular class but are valuable to your continued training.
Each class will be slightly different. Instructors will change drills from class to class based on the ability of the students and their desire for learning.
Ballistic Shield Skills: Level One is targeted at students who are familiar with Ballistic Shields but may have had limited structured training before. It will help them build a solid foundation. This class offers the perfect opportunity for the student to refine their manipulation and utilization of a Ballistic Shield and prepares them to use a Shield in the defense of themselves and others. Though primarily used with a Pistol, the use of Duty Rifles is also included with this class.
The day consists of 3 hours of live-fire instruction.
