The Cadre Session 1: The Concealed Carry Draw

• Prerequisites: A valid concealed carry license
• Gear Needed: See below
• Class Date: Sunday, October 13, 1pm

This is an encore session to accommodate increased demand. 

Deploying your defensive firearm in a timely manner is an essential part of the concealed carry lifestyle. The latest and greatest hand-blaster and all the firepower in the world are useless if you can’t get your gun into the fight when you need it the most. 

However, most shooting ranges don’t allow you to draw from a holster, and learning a smooth and efficient draw is a daunting task if you’re doing it all by yourself. On top of all of this, holster manufacturers sell their holsters on the basis of comfort, not speed or ease of use. A comfortable holster is great, but a comfortable holster that gets in the way of you getting your gun in the fight is a dangerous thing to carry on your waist. 

This class is designed to improve your draw from concealment, no matter if you’re an experienced firearms owner who carries a pistol on a daily basis or someone who is new to the concealed carry lifestyle. If you already carry on a regular basis, this class will sharpen your ability with your gear. If you don’t carry regularly, this class will show how to optimize your gear for maximum concealment and efficiency.
