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.

	•	Quality holster and magazine or loader pouches (NO cross draw, shoulder, SOB, or ankle holsters)

Urgent message from the S2 Institute: As many of you are aware there is a nationwide shortage of ammunition. The S2 Institute has always prided itself on providing quality affordable training for all our students. In the very near future we will be forced to add a surcharge for ammunition to all our firearms classes. As the cost of ammunition climbs and the availability falls we will be forced to make this adjustment. The amount of the surcharge will depend on the market availability of ammunition. If students wish to provide their own ammunition for re-qualification and qualification we would encourage that. If you provide your own ammunition a cost adjustment will be made to the course cost to compensate for that. In addition we will not be able to accept students at re-qualification who have not pre-registered.

We hope the issues causing this will be resolved in the near future.

For any questions please call the school at 727-461-0066.

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.”
