BMDT’s unique W.A.R. course (We. Are. Ready.) is the follow-up course to Handgun Platform Proficiency for the individual who needs to develop safe firearm-handling skills and a solid foundation of basic shooting skills with both the handgun shotgun rifle progressively. The first day will focus on using the pistol while carrying secondary platform and associated equipment. During the remaining two days, each student will learn the fundamentals of carbine marksmanship while maintaining the handgun option. The BMDTs instructors will evaluate and create increasingly difficult tactical drills to develop superior handling skills with both weapon systems.

Students will leave with a excellent understanding of shooting fundamentals and how to apply them in controlled stresslab situations.
