Handgun CQB (June 23-25, Alliance)
June 23, 2017 - June 25, 2017
8:00 am - 5:00 pm
The Forge Tactical Handgun CQB course is a 24 hour program designed to further build your skill sets to learn to fight with your pistol in a confined structure, with one teammate. This course teaches the same principles and fundamentals as Small Team CQB (Shoothouse) but utilizing the pistol. It is often more appropriate than Small Team CQB for the student who primarily uses a pistol for defense and does not have to wear hard ballistic armor for their mission. The course requires the use of soft armor as a minimum level of PPE, and as a result is less physically demanding than the full Small Team CQB package. As with the Small Team CQB Course, safety is paramount.
Prerequisites: US Citizen or ITAR approved person, and graduate of reputable handgun and carbine operator courses.

Guys,
Will head protection / helmets be required for this class?
Hi Sir, There was a little mix-up in which class this was for. No, a ballistic helmet is not required, and soft body armor is sufficient. Thanks.
What would be considered a reputable handgun or carbine course? Would OPOTA and active shooter certifications suffice?
Hi. Thanks for the question. Yes, that would suffice.
Do you have any multi discipline courses coming up?
Hi Nathan. I’m not sure exactly what you mean by multi-discipline. Can you elaborate for me? Thanks
