Advanced Firearms 1: Street Ready Skills

Advanced Firearms 1, Street Ready Skills, picks up where most basic handgun programs leave off. The focus of this program is to instill sound repetitive motions in weapons manipulation and shooting.

Topics include:

Firearms Safety • Weapon Handling • Marksmanship • Tactical Reloading • Stoppage Clearance

This course also includes a short lecture on tactics for recognizing potential pre-incident indicators of violence and avoiding confrontations. It also covers developing the "mindset" necessary for surviving a lethal force encounter.

NOTE: By limiting the class size, students receive close instruction and one-on-one attention from instructors to refine basic skills.

Student Comments

“Advanced Firearms 1 is the first part of the two day program offered by the S2 Institute.. For those who sign up for AF-2, you will receive the training for AF-1 on the first day.

The instructor for our class was Tim O'Rourke. Tim is a first-rate instructor with great shooting and teaching skills. He clearly states his objectives and goals. Tim was very clear in his desire to not create "signature" techniques for us to follow, but rather to take advantage of what might already be working for each student and only correct the problems.

Day one consisted of saftey, shooting skills and malfunction drills. This was important foundational work and set the stage for day two. At the end of day one groups were much tighter and everyone had the basics well in hand.

Day two introduced us to tactical shooting: Shooting while moving and supporting defensive actions. The class was well paced and the drills provided a great learning experience. The drills were simple, effective and most of all safe. Tim ran the range with the kind of professional control that keeps things moving yet without danger to the students.

At the end of the class the one thing all students seemed to be disappointed in was the lack of a follow-up class. Tim moved fast and covered an amazing amount of material in just two days. I do hope that he offers a part three to this program.
