TACTICAL ANATOMY SUMMIT

The Tactical Anatomy Summit is two intensive days of classroom instruction and live-fire training with renowned instructors Chuck Haggard, Shane Kerwin, and Dr. Andy Anderson.

This course is rooted in the medically informed, three-dimensional target-focused firearms training pioneered by Dr. James S. Williams in his Tactical Anatomy: Shooting With X-Ray Vision Instructor program.

It’s no surprise to armed professionals and responsible concealed carriers that in a life-threatening situation, time is critical. When violent threats arise, the fastest and most effective response is often the only way to prevent injury or death. The longer an attacker has to act, the greater their chance of success.

Those who understand tactical anatomy, possess solid short-range precision marksmanship, and maintain a strong survival mindset are far more likely to survive a violent encounter and return home safely. This course is designed to equip students with all three.

This may be one of the most essential classes a concealed carrier or armed professional can attend. There is a stark difference between shooting tight groups on a flat, static target and being able to effectively stop a determined, violent attacker who will not quit until physically incapacitated.

The Tactical Anatomy Summit includes two immersive, prop-rich live-fire blocks packed with drills and exercises developed by some of the nation’s top firearms instructors.
