Train Beyond Static Targets. Perform Under Pressure.

This fast-paced course bridges the gap between controlled drills and the unpredictable nature of real-world encounters. Dynamic Defensive Carry 3.5 blends essential skills from our Defensive Carry 1–3 classes and challenges students with live movement drills using the X1 Dynamic Moving Target System.

You'll apply your fundamentals under stress, learn to engage moving threats, and refine your ability to make quick, accurate decisions while on the move. This class is designed for serious students ready to test themselves in realistic, evolving scenarios.

🔥 What You’ll Learn:

• Engaging moving targets with precision under pressure
• Dynamic movement techniques: angles, lateral shifts, closing distance
• One-handed shooting while on the move
• Timed threat identification and target prioritization
• Immediate-action drills with target transition
• Shooting from cover and concealment in fluid environments
• Proper weapon handling while repositioning

🎯 Who It’s For:

• Graduates of Defensive Carry Level 2 or 3 or equivalent training
• Students ready to move beyond static drills
• Concealed carriers seeking to train like they’ll fight

🧠 Why It Matters:

In a real defensive encounter, your threat won’t stand still—and neither should your training. If you don’t practice shooting on the move and under pressure, you're not truly prepared. This course delivers the realism and stress inoculation that turn skills into instinct.

• Duration: Four Hours
• Cost: $260
• Prerequisites: Completion of Defensive Carry 2 or 3 or instructor approval
• Gear Requirements: Carry pistol, holster, 3 mags, mag pouch, eye/ear pro, 250–300 rounds
