DEFINITION OF SUCCESS: Make a decision. Choose your action. See the results and then think about the pros and cons of the decision. Learn to be confident, decisive, efficient, and explosive.

People carry a lot of gear but gear does not solve the problem….you do.

There are very few range exercises for the private citizen that focus on making lethal, less than lethal and non lethal decisions quickly. Our Image Based Decisional Drills are intended to fill in the gap in learning how to make decisions using images to provoke a response, decide which TOOL to use, and then ACT on that decision. From the time that a bad guy chooses you, you will have a very limited amount of time to make a decision. THEY choose how and when. Your actions need to be quick and decisive.

BENEFITS:
  • Visual cueing, pre-need decision making, tool cycling, distance management, and strategy changes that can be practiced on the range.
  • Pressure testing under realistic time constraints with feedback for improvement.
  • IBDD can be beneficial ON or OFF the range. The actual mechanics of shooting can be practiced separately while the IBDD drills will help with tool handling and selection, therefore a BLUEGUN, plastic trainer, or SIRT Training Pistol is a suitable substitute.
  • You can work with IBDD solo or with a group.  
  • IBDD comes packed up in a bag and ready to travel.
  • IBDD is very easy to set up and very easy to take down.
  • Using a BLUEGUN, plastic trainer, or SIRT Training Pistol? You can also designate a small section in your house, garage, basement, etc. and leave it up.  
  • All ages are welcome to take part in IBDD (within reason). Age will change the availability of suitable tools, but will still help with the decisions concerning available strategies. Image cards that would provoke a “shoot” decision would turn into escape or run decisions. If your child would have to make personal protection decisions alone, then choose suitable cards for their environment or possible scenarios.
  • All levels of experience are welcome. The benefits are the same for everybody. The more experience you have, the more "tools" can be introduced. If you have training in additional areas of self protection like jacks, saps, edged weapons, etc. then add these to your scenario. Also, your cognitive stacking may be quicker and easier so challenge yourself!
