Boone County Sheriff Department is proud to host Yavapai Firearms Academy Ltd. for a variety of firearm courses this summer. (These courses will be Indiana law Enforcement Training Board Certified.) The classes are as follows:

Tactical Handgun - Stage I – August 14-16, 2009
Designed to create reflexive gun handling, good marksmanship and tactical thinking, this course encompasses shooting from a ready position, the draw stroke and shooting from the holster, shooting from various tactical body positions, loading, unloading and reloading, malfunction clearances, shooting on the move, moving targets, dim light and flashlight shooting and weapon retention.

Ammunition requirement is 500 rounds.

Course Fee is $550.

Tactical Handgun - Stage II – August 18-20, 2009
This course starts by assuming the student is capable of performing all exercises done in the Stage I course ON DEMAND. After a brief review, the course continues by compounding the problems encountered in the Stage I class, adding such elements as target angles, vital zone definition under stress, one-handed acquisition and operation, increased speed and longer distances. Stage I Handgun is a prerequisite to this course.

Ammunition requirement is 800 rounds.

Course Fee is $550.

Tactical Shotgun - Stage I – August 25-27, 2009
As with the Stage I Handgun, this course is designed to create reflexive gun handling, good marksmanship and tactical thinking. In addition it places strong emphasis on learning what the shotgun will, and most particularly WILL NOT, do. The importance of patterning the shotgun properly is discussed at length. The course also covers ammunition selection, loading and unloading, reloading and ammunition selection while involved in a shooting scenario, shooting from several ready positions and various tactical body positions, dim-light and flashlight shooting, shooting on the move, moving targets, multiple targets and weapon retention.

Handgun is required for the transition training. Sling is mandatory for this course. Light mount on gun is advisable, but not required.

Ammunition requirement is 400 Birdshot, 50 Buckshot and 70 Slugs, 50 pistol

Course Fee is $550.

Tactical Carbine-Pistol – August 28-30, 2009
This course concentrates on the use of the carbine and pistol as a total complementary weapons system. Targets will dictate decision-making thought processes as they pertain to the use of both weapons in specific scenarios, and the ability to smoothly and rapidly transition from one weapon to the other will be emphasized.

Either iron sights or low magnification optical sights are applicable. Sling is mandatory for the weapon and a light mount is advisable.

Ammunition requirement is 400 carbine, 300 handgun.

Course Fee is $550.

2-Day Pistol HITT – August 22-23, 2009
This course will concentrate on strong-hand only firing and manipulation, weak-hand only firing and manipulation, and the use of a backup gun (i.e. the shooters will have both weapons on their body at the same time). Transitions from one pistol to the other are part of the course curriculum. Spare magazines and/or strip loaders for both weapons are mandatory.

Ammunition requirement is 250 rounds for each pistol.

Course Fee is $450

2-Day Room Clearing (restricted to Law Enforcement) – August 12-13, 2009
Day one of this course will cover live fire on the range with various targets, transitions from a long gun to a pistol, and basic techniques of team movement within a "pseudo" floor plan laid out on the range. Day two will consist of room entries and clearing in a building, first using deactivated weapons, and then using Airsoft equipment. Slings are mandatory on any long gun being used.

Ammunition requirement is 250 rounds pistol and 150 rounds for any other weapon being used.

Course Fee is $450

Host Agency will provide Airsoft equipment and asks for a $10 donation per student for use of the equipment, green gas, pellets, etc.

Those interested need to register through Yavapai Firearms Academy, Ltd. Students are encouraged to enroll in a timely fashion as seats are limited and usually fill rapidly. Those students not affiliated with a law enforcement agency will be required to successfully complete a background check before being accepted for enrollment.

Best regards,
