SUMMARY:Critical Edge Intermediate Pistol
DESCRIPTION:Registration closed.. \nThe Critical Edge Intermediate Pistol class is for students at skill levels from new pistol owners to those who grew up with firearms and want to improve their defensive firearms capabilities.  It is a class designed to bridge the gap between marksmanship on a conventional range and the defensive application of a pistol.  This is an ideal class for someone that has taken a basic pistol class who doesn’t feel they’re quite ready for a home defense or concealed carry course.  It is equally good for an experienced shooter that is new to defensive shooting.   This class is practical pistol training intended to assist participants in achieving much higher levels of proficiency.  Regardless of previous experience it will help to build on the fundamentals of shooting\, foster safety in the handling of firearms and help participants avoid bad habits.  The class goes beyond basic operation and introduces students to the use of a firearm in defensive situations.    This class will reinforce skills learned in Basic Pistol like proper grip\, stance\, sight alignment\, and trigger press\, as well as address common handgun malfunctions\, reloads\, the use of cover and concealment and close quarters application of a defensive firearm.  While the cost of ammunition has dropped considerably from the height of the shortage\, laser pistols will be relied upon as an effective way to learn skills and to reduce ammunition costs. \nThere are no training prerequisites for this class.  Students\, however\, must be competent in the safe handling and operation of their firearm.  The course is open to U.S. citizens age 21 and above that may legally possess a firearm.  Under federal law\, however\, certain non-U.S. citizens are prohibited from participating in this course.    Only non-U.S. citizens who are: (1) lawfully permanent residents (e.g.\, green card holders); (2) refugees; or (3) individuals who have been granted asylum may participate in this course. \nProgress through the course is not driven by a schedule.  We will move through the curriculum as quickly or slowly as necessary to allow the students to learn the material.  The training goals of the course are to provide an introductory foundation to enable the students to safely and successfully practice defensive skills on their own and to prepare them to continue into more advanced training. \nLive fire will be conducted with the student’s pistol and ammunition.  Expect to shoot 250-300 rounds during the live fire segment of the class.  Hearing and eye protection are required as are two extra magazines or\, if a revolver is to be used\, at least two speed loaders.  A belt mounted magazine or speed load holder is highly recommended. \nThe Critical Edge Intermediate Pistol course will be held within an easy driving distance of Harrisburg\, Mechanicsburg\, and Carlisle\, PA at the Duncannon Sportsmen’s Association on the dates below.  We will meet in the Duncannon Sportsmen’s Association clubhouse beginning at 9:00 AM and probably conclude by 5:00 PM in September and October.  To ensure close personal attention for each student\, this course is limited to 9 people. \nSummer Course dates: \n\nJune 19\, 2023 (Mon)\nJuly 19\, 2023 (Wed)\nAug 6\, 2023 (Sun)\n\nPreregistration is required.  To reserve a spot in a class please go to the following to make payment:  https://criticaledge.us/make-a-payment/  The fee for the course is $125.00.  Members of the Duncannon Sportsmen’s Association\, veterans and first responders receive a $15.00 discount.  The fee for members of the U.S. military on active duty and students that have previously taken this course is $60.00.  To finalize registration\, please also send an email to:   carl.walker@criticaledge.us.  Please include the following information: \nYour name as you want it to appear on your certificate; \nMailing address; \nPhone number; \nPlease indicate if you are a member of the Duncannon Sportsmen’s Association\, an active duty member of the U.S. military\, a veteran\, a first responder\, or if you have taken this class previously; \nThe course title and the date(s) which you wish to attend; \nThe type and caliber of any firearm you want to bring to class; \nA brief description of your previous experience with firearms; and \nYour interests with regard to firearms and any firearms or personal security goals you may have.

SUMMARY:Critical Edge Intermediate Shotgun
DESCRIPTION:Registration closed. \nContinuing to build on the foundation of safely handling a shotgun acquired in the NRA Basic Shotgun class\, this class is orientated towards the defensive use of a shotgun and includes material on gun handling\, reloads\, malfunctions\, engagement of multiple targets and use of cover and concealment.  It is an ideal stepping-stone to a home defense with shotgun course and a great opportunity for students to polish the skills learned in the home defense class. \nThe drills will be “performance based” to increase the student’s knowledge\, competence and confidence with a shotgun. The drills will encompass rapid movement and other physical activity to push the students to perform under a degree of “stress.” \nThere are no formal training prerequisites for this class.  Students must\, however\, be competent in the safe handling and operation of their firearm.  The course is open to U.S. citizens age 18 and above that may legally possess a firearm.  Under federal law\, however\, certain non-U.S. citizens are prohibited from participating in this course.    Only non-U.S. citizens who are: (1) lawfully permanent residents (e.g.\, green card holders); (2) refugees; or (3) individuals who have been granted asylum may participate in this course. \nProgress through the course is not driven by a schedule.  We will move through the curriculum as quickly or slowly as necessary to allow the students to learn the material.  The training goals of the course are to provide an introductory foundation to enable for the student to safely and successfully practice defensive shotgun skills on their own and to prepare them to continue into more advanced training. \nLive fire will be conducted with the student’s shotgun and ammunition.  Expect to shoot 250 – 300 rounds during the live fire segment of the class.  Hearing and eye protection are required.  Semi automatic and pump shotguns in either 12 or 20 gauge are recommended for the class.  Single barrel/single shot shotguns and double barrel shotguns will greatly hamper the ability of students to participate in many of the drills and present a considerable barrier to defensive skills development.  A sling\, shotgun mounted shell holder and a body worn shell carrier are all recommended.   An ammunition pouch is also helpful and recommended.  If you are purchasing a shotgun or accessories prior to this course\, check with Critical Edge for some advice about  options before making your purchase. \nThe Critical Edge Intermediate Shotgun course will be held within an easy driving distance of Harrisburg\, Mechanicsburg\, and Carlisle\, PA at the Duncannon Sportsmen’s Association on the dates below.  We will meet in the Duncannon Sportsmen’s Association clubhouse beginning at 9:00 AM and probably conclude by 5:00 PM.   To ensure close personal attention for each student\, this course is limited to 9 people. \nSummer Class Dates: \n\nJune 17\, 2013 (Sat)\nJuly 20\, 2023 (Thur)\nAug 11\, 2023 (Fri)\n\nPreregistration is required.  To reserve a spot in a class please go to the following to make payment:  https://criticaledge.us/make-a-payment/  The fee for the course is $125.00.  Members of the Duncannon Sportsmen’s Association\, veterans and first responders receive a $15.00 discount.  The fee for members of the U.S. military on active duty and students that have taken the class previously is $60.00.  To finalize registration\, please also send an email to:   carl.walker@criticaledge.us.  Please include the following information: \nYour name as you want it to appear on your certificate; \nMailing address; \nPhone number; \nPlease indicate if you are a member of the Duncannon Sportsmen’s Association\, a veteran or a first responder; \nThe course title and the date(s) which you wish to attend; \nThe make\, model and gauge of any shotgun you want to bring to class; \nA brief description of your previous experience with firearms; and \nYour interests with regard to firearms and any firearms or personal security goals you may have.
