Defensive Pistol II

The goal of Condition Yellow Academy’s Defensive Pistol II Course is to provide the student with training in a private range atmosphere to take pistol skills to the next level. This private outdoor range is designed to allow students freedom of movement and provide targets and different barricades to teach a student how to shoot on the move and from different shooting positions. This course puts the student in an environment that allows a very high level of realism and stress to be added to the training, and includes steel and moving targets for more dynamic training.

Cost: $255
