It’s been long known that when under extreme stress (including when under attack), the human body will undergo a series of automated responses as part of the “fight-or-flight” mechanisms built into its systems. These and other physical and psychological effects have long been attributed to adrenaline or other natural chemicals that flood your body during extreme stress, but the “fight-or-flight” mechanisms that are part of your system goes well beyond a simple chemical dump by your adrenal glands. Learn about how your mind and body may react if you encounter a violent situation.

Being able to step into the shooting range involves the ability to activate the worst-case-scenario center in my brain, but to do so in the most rational and focused way possible. This fear factor is actually a useful tool for marksmanship.

This fear is what compels us to take a deep breath, use the adrenaline rush, and work on this potentially life-saving skill.

It’s important to recognize the differences between the skills required for defensive shooting and the skills required for being a good marksman on the range.

With this course, you'll learn all of the skills needed to improve your defensive shooting.
