EDC Performance Expo - April 27 2024
2024-04-27 08:00 - 18:00 (America/Denver)
The EDC Performance Expo is an event for the concealed carrier. This event will cover many topics but all apply to the conceal carrier. Course blocks will be taught by Advent Training, Odyssey Training And Consulting as well as Dragon Defense. Students will train with each of these instructors to get a holistic approach to conceal carrying. Training blocks will be 3 hours each.

This is not a beginner event. You’ll need to have a firm understanding of your firearm, the fundamentals and safety beforehand. Students will be asked to leave if they do not meet these requirements and a refund will not be issued.
Length: 10 hours
Start Time: 8:00 AM
Location: Farm Training Center; Fairfield, Utah. Roughly one to two weeks before the class date an email will be sent to notify which bay and where to park.

Students will need all of the following for the entire day’s event.

Notepad and pen (Take Notes!)
Sharpie or Marker
Eye and Ear Protection (electronic ear protection is preferred)
Shoes or boots, no open toe or sandals
Seasonal weather gear (i.e. rain, cold). We shoot rain or shine.

Courses:
DEFENSE OF A 3RD PARTY
This course is designed to equip participants with the knowledge and skills needed to effectively respond to situations where the defense of others is required. This dynamic three-hour block of instruction combines insights into verbal commands, situational awareness training, and physical readiness exercises. Participants will delve into analytical considerations surrounding third-party defense, enhance their situational awareness, and develop physical capabilities to create a safe and effective response.
Prerequisites: The shooting focus is one handed and it is recommended to be familiar with this skill (both support and strong hand) to control the recoil with one hand. We will be using kettlebells so it is slightly physical. Students should be able to safely and effectively hold a 10lbs kettlebell parallel to the ground while shooting with the opposite hand. While holding the kettlebell they should be able to hit a B8 repair center from 10 yards 10 times without a time limit.

Required Equipment:

Handgun
200 rounds of reliable ammunition
Handgun Holster (Leather, shoulder, cross-draw or SERPA holsters are PROHIBITED)
Magazine Holster.
At least 2 magazines (Bring more if you have them). At least 5 magazines if single stack.
Sturdy belt for holster.

Be sure to bring your Concealed Carry setup for this block of instruction. We recommend you use your EDC handgun, holster and concealment location to get solid instruction for your individual situation. If you are security or law enforcement bring your work setup.

VEHICLE DYNAMICS

Vehicle Dynamics explores the unique aspects of self-defense around vehicles. As we have a high likelihood of being assaulted near vehicles, we will explore best practices to maximize our protection and enable ourselves to win. We will cover common vehicle myths, and students will be equipped with a gameplan to offer the highest chance of success in a vehicle gunfight.

Gear List:

Handgun
200 rounds of training ammo

Instructor Bio

Mark has been shooting for over 15 years. What started with hunting in the woods of SC as a youth quickly developed into a passion. In 2011, he began to take his shooting seriously after discovering how much he didn’t know after attending his first professional training course. Since then, Mark has amassed over 1000 hours of professional training from some of the best instructors in the business.
Mark has worked to build relevant, up-to-date, and professional training programs for military, civilian, and law-enforcement clients in topics ranging from performance shooting, church safety and security planning, and Night Observation Device (NODs) integration and techniques.

Many esteemed members of the Law Enforcement community have attended JBS Training Group classes, including members of the 19th SF Group, Homeland Security, NYPD, US Marshals, FBI and more.
When not teaching, he also competes in shooting skills matches to include 2-gun/USPSA, he is the head of the firearms training division of his church safety-team, and he helps local farmers thin their nuisance animal populations by night hunting.
When not on the busy with his work, you will probably find him in his yard working on another home project for his wife of 10 years, Brittany, and if not, his two kids are sure to find something for him to do with them.

CTT Solutions - Performance Carry Course
2023-10-21 09:00 - 2023-10-22 17:00 | FARM, 6V9F+F6 Fairfield, Utah, 84013, United States
PERFORMANCE CARRY
This two-day training is Mike’s signature course.
It is a fast-paced course designed to give attendees not only the technical, but the practical understanding of the effective employment of their pistol from a covert concealed location. The metric of evaluation is the MEC (Marksmanship Evaluation Course) as found on the website.
This course is based upon:
• training Mike received while a member of the 1st SFOD-D
• training and instruction he provided to the Federal Air Marshal Service (while serving as the Head Range Instructor at the F.A.M.S. School) and as the Chief In-Service Instructor at the Seattle Field Office of the F.A.M.S.
• training he taught and utilized during protection operations in Iraq
• training he refined for a course he recently taught to high-level Special Operations Forces assets prior to high threat deployments involving covert operations.
The goals of this course:
• to safely make the student an extremely competent legal concealed pistol carrier (civilian, law enforcement or military)
• provide a foundation of drills and concepts for the student to maintain his/her skills at their own range.
This course is geared toward all civilian, law enforcement and military personnel involved in detective work, undercover operations, covert surveillance operations, V.I.P. protection details, as well as every day off-duty or legally permitted carry.
This is the next evolution of the CTT-Solutions Covert Carry course that has been taught for the last 6 years. The new curriculum puts a premium on movement in the form of turns as well as traditional shooting while moving. There will also be an emphasis on multiple targets and strict accountability of marksmanship all while putting a heavy emphasis on high performance gun handling skills from concealment.
All shooting will be from 10-25 yards, and outside of sight-zero verification and one string on one drill, all shooting will begin facing away from the target at either 900 or 1800 . Curriculum is built around a non-compensated, optics mounted handgun with a 4.9” barrel or less because that is what the overwhelming preponderance of people carry for work or EDC and is also the size of most duty guns.
The course will require:
· 1000 rounds of ammunition
· Serviceable handgun of 9mm or larger caliber
· Pistol Mounted red/green dot Electro-Optical sight (highly recommended but not required)
· Electronic hearing protection (safety requirement)
· Concealment holster (no duty rigs with shirt over it unless you’re LE and that’s your duty setup)
· Multiple common garments that the shooter wears
· 4 magazines and minimum of 1 mag carrier

Rifle LVL 1
( -> register on the BAER Solutions website <- )
This is a level 1 Rifle course that will stress fundamentals, and most importantly providing the “how” and the “why” in addition to what you are trying to accomplish throughout the training day.
By the end of the day each shooter will know where they are at and what to work on as you go forward in your training. This is not a course where you will just be led through drills and told what you are doing wrong. Here we will work on fixing them based on what works for you. Identifying your deficiencies and giving you the tools to improve is the end state of the class. We will progress from fundamentals to multiple target transitions and an intro into movement.

The class will receive a safety brief, medical plan, loading unloading procedures, range rules, and of course filling out waivers before we begin.
The program of instruction for the day will begin with a standards test, fundamentals, actions such as scanning after an engagement, and progress into multiple target engagements and an intro into movement.
Once you are registered for this class you will receive a pre-class questionnaire to fill out and return and your class packing list.

( -> register on the BAER Solutions website <- )
This is a level 2 rifle course that will stress fundamentals, and most importantly providing the “how” and the “why” in addition to what you are trying to accomplish throughout the training day.
By the end of the day each shooter will know where they are at and what to work on as you go forward in your training. This is not a course where you will just be led through drills and told what you are doing wrong. Here we will work on fixing them based on what works for you. Identifying your deficiencies and giving you the tools to improve is the end state of the class. We will briefly touch on fundamentals before we work on movement, barrier shooting, pie-ing off doors, and stress courses.

This LVL 2 class is meant as an intermediate to advanced class for rifle shooting. We will cover the fundamentals for a brief part of the day before training on movement, barriers, and pie-ing off angles.
The class will receive a safety brief, medical plan, loading unloading procedures, range rules, and of course filling out waivers before we begin.
The program of instruction for the day will begin with a standards test, fundamentals, movement to static positions, continuous movement, barriers, working angles, and finish off with a stress shoot. The majority of this day will be spent moving and shooting.
Once you are registered for this class you will receive a pre-class questionnaire to fill out and return and your class packing list.

AT - Concealed Carry Red Dot 1 - September 9 2023
2023-09-09 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.

PPS - NO-FAIL RIFLE COURSE WITH PRESSCHECK CONSULTING
2023-06-16 08:00 - 2023-06-17 17:00 | FARM, 6V9F+F6 Fairfield, Utah, 84013, United States
The Presscheck Intermediate Assault Rifle Course (2 Days) is designed to equip patrol and tactical officers with the skills to apply accurate rifle fire in critical situations at varying distances and from various positions.
This 20 hour course stresses the importance of applying offset and holds at various distances and angles to ensure proper point of impact. Varying techniques of supporting the rifle to mitigate recoil and stabilize the reticle for proper shot placement will be used.
TRAINING OBJECTIVES

Providing comprehensive safety briefing discussing the practical application of the 4 firearms safety rules in the real world

Definition reviews of Internal, External, and Terminal ballistics, including 100, 200, and 300 yard zero

Zeroing/confirming zero on all sights

Drills used to demonstrate POI deviation when cant is applied to the rifle

Analysis of individual shooting techniques of students/officers by the trainer to receive personal feedback on ways to improve accuracy and speed

Engagement of low-percentage targets (small strike area often obscured with a hostage or other no-shoot area) from various distances while applying proper hold offs

Shooting moving targets while applying leads (if class progression allows)

Shooting on the move (if class progression allows)

The student will understand the importance of critical hits and the consequences of a miss, and will be able to diagnose if they are capable of achieving hits at any given moment based upon pre-shot diagnostics of their sights in real time, the hold-off of their reticle based on target distance, body position, and cant of the weapon.

This course will enable students to continue developing and maintaining these skills through the use of clear, repeatable standards.

2023-05-19 08:00 - 2023-05-21 17:00 | FARM, 6V9F+F6 Fairfield, Utah, 84013, United States
​Low light opposed is our three day program that was created to combine our low light applications courses with reality based training with non-lethal training ammunition. Low light opposed focuses on how to effectively work in a low light environment while understanding the primary flashlight applications, techniques, and search methods on the carbine & handgun platform.
Our goal is to aid in building confidence during low light structure work and help reduce the “lag time” during common issues found in structure procedures. This course will help to create a better understanding of reduced personnel patrol structure mechanics (2-3 man) and close quarter battle procedures combined with Reality Based Training (RBT) and Non-Lethal Training Ammunition (NLTA) and Non-Lethal Weapons.
Students will be introduced to CQB workshops, force on target, light force and finally force on force. Low light opposed will validate techniques & applications through force on target then evolving to force on force. Come prepared mentally & physically.
