Brian will occasionally use "Coaches Eye" during this style of training. Coach's Eye is the most effective way to provide meaningful feedback to his students, so we can make rapid improvements. He can analyze your draw with slow-motion and playback for immediate feedback.  He has the ability draw/mark on the video and he can even send the video to you for future reference. 

Unfortunately, as of July 2021, Lumpkin County has shut down the "live fire" portion of The Complete Combatant. Never fear, we have moved these live fire classes to Georgia Mountain Shooting Association. Same great instruction, just a different location.

There will be a $20-$25 range fee per person, per day, that will be collected by the range that hosts us. This is common practice so bring cash!
​
All NON live fire classes will still be held at our range here in Dahlonega, GA.
