FARM Comp Series - TACTICAL SHOTGUN
2024-11-09 08:30 - 14:00 | FARM, 6V9F+F6 Fairfield, Utah, 84013, United States
The FARM Training Center holds a Tactical Shotgun match on a periodic basis to provide a tactical shotgun training opportunity to shooters in a safe, supervised environment to help shooters increase their safe gun-handling skills and practice with their shotguns.
Stages are shot under the supervision of a Range Safety Officer. A timer is used to record the overall time used by the shooter to address the given stage. Penalties in the form of additional time (usually 5 or 10 seconds) are added for targets missed or for procedural errors.

Who can participate: Any responsible, safe shooter who is capable of handling their shotgun without endangering others.

5-6 stages
We recommend brining 150-175 birdshot shells to be safe

AT - Concealed Carry Red Dot 1 - October 19 2024
2024-10-19 08:30 - 17:30 | FARM, 6V9F+F6 Fairfield, Utah, 84013, United States
The red dot equipped handgun has become the preferred conceal carry method for many responsible gun owners. Those who have experienced frustration with a red dot handgun are either frustrated because they cannot keep the dot steady enough in the window to take an accurate shot, they lose the dot after recoil or cannot initially find the dot during presentation. Another potential frustration is their draw is not as fast as they want it to be from concealment. In this course, you will learn how to confidently navigate through these frustrations or any optic malfunction that may arise with the red dot.

Prerequisites: Student must have a firm understanding of the Fundamentals and be safe throughout the course.

This is not a beginner course. You’ll need to have a firm understanding of the fundamentals beforehand and should be able to consistently pass the 5×5 drill from concealment (target found on Luckygunner.com; just Google “5×5 Drill”). We will be starting the course with this drill to get an understanding of everyone’s skill level.

Class Instruction Includes:

Carry Position

AIWB and IWB: Why those carry positions. Benefits and Negatives of each

Cover Garments

Consistency in draw with multiple cover garments.

MRDS

Brands to avoid

Constant On VS Off when not in use.

Dot Brightness Setting for multiple environments and time of day.

Battery Choices

Ammunition Choices

Target Ammo

Self Defense Ammo

Zeroing MRDS

Sample a variety of condensed training blocks to improve your skillset while experiencing different curricula, teaching styles, personalities, and focus areas from the cadre of instructors.
In 2022 we did a test run of this course in Dallas, TX to an invite-only group of students and it was a huge success. The only disappointment we heard was when they learned they would need to wait an entire year to do this again!
We followed up with Thunderstick Summit 2023 in Las Vegas and even though it was 90 degrees, everyone learned something new in a safe and productive environment.
Participants will rotate between different ranges, receiving lectures and demonstrations from each instructor. This round-robin format allows attendees to gain valuable insights and individual perspectives on the benefits and limitations of utilizing the fighting shotgun for self-defense purposes.
The training schedule for Day One, Day Two, and the initial portion of Day Three will be divided into four-hour training blocks. Following lunch on Day Three, there will be live-fire demonstrations by manufacturers, a friendly competition, and a concluding Q&A discussion with the instructors.
Lunch: Will be available on-site or you can bring your own.
Travel/Lodging: Fly into Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC) where you can rent a car. We recommend booking a hotel in Lehi (closest), American Fork (middle), or Provo (furthest). There are Airbnb’s closer to the range in the small communities of Eagle Mountain and Silverlake (as of 5/31/2024). The range is situated about a 40-minute drive from Lehi.

PPS - EXTREME CLOSE QUARTER CONCEPTS (ECQC) WITH SHIVWORKS
2024-05-24 18:00 - 2024-05-26 18:00 | FARM, 6V9F+F6 Fairfield, Utah, 84013, United States
The ShivWorks Extreme Close Quarter Concepts (ECQC) course is a two-and-a-half-day (20-hour) block of instruction that offers a multi-disciplinary approach to building functional, combative handgun skills at zero to five feet. The course is designed to instill core concepts of seamless integration and provide the platform for aggressive problem solving during a life or death struggle at arm’s length or closer. We emphasize the common body mechanics that apply across different skill sets. That way, all combative software is reinforcing. Once students’ skill sets are ingrained, they will be stress inoculated with force-on-force drills using marking cartridges and protective equipment.
To be clear, this coursework is not for everybody. It is active, physical, and often quite a humbling experience. However, our students are young and old, male and female, large and small, outgoing and shy, white collar and blue collar, experienced and inexperienced. Regardless of your background, a positive attitude and an open mind will take you far in the ShivWorks curriculum.
