DP3 – Movement and Cover

Mobility and the intelligent use of cover are critical skills if you ever find yourself needing to use a firearm to defend yourself or a loved one. DP3 builds on the foundation established in DP1 and DP2 by introducing more dynamic movement and real-world application. This 3-hour course is conducted entirely on the range and challenges students to move with purpose while safely and effectively employing their firearm. Students will learn how to use available cover, understand positioning, and begin integrating movement into their shooting. Emphasis is placed on making sound decisions while navigating an environment rather than remaining fixed in one position. By the end of the course, students will have a better understanding of how to think and move in a defensive context, building the confidence and skills needed to operate more effectively outside of a static setting.
