Defensive Shooting Fundamentals 2 (DSF-2)

The USCCA DSF Program is designed to teach ALL responsibly armed Americans how to respond efficiently and effectively during a dynamic critical incident.

One of the key elements to this is you must be able to process information while performing complex tasks. Defending yourself and those that you love requires you to apply multiple necessary skills, the DSF Program will help you to recognize learned stimuli and initiate learned intuitive responses, freeing up your mind to better process information. This is the key philosophy of the Counter Ambush Methodology. Each level of the DSF Program (L1 and L2) consists of a self-study e-learning module and a full day of instructor guided live fire range drills and simulations.

The DSF E-learning modules are presented by Rob Pincus, world-renowned instructor and developer of the DSF Counter Ambush Methodology. You will be introduced to concepts, terminology, and information that will prepare you to maximize your learning potential as you complete the live fire portion of the programs. You will also receive a copy of the USCCA’s Defensive Shooting Fundamentals textbook written by Rob Pincus Your USCCA Certified DSF Instructor will teach you intuitive defensive skills that work well with what the body does naturally under the stress of a dynamic critical incident.

You will realize your competency levels as you learn to apply skills in context during these intense live fire drills and simulations.
