empowering protectors with the tools of liberty

The Foundations course is the  best place to start if you have decided to carry a concealed pistol everyday. This is by far the most formative course to take on your training journey. In this course you will learn what it takes to fight with a gun and to survive the gunfight, legal fight, and spiritual fight. 

This is a concealed carry or "off duty," pistol course. Training is structured around your "every day carry" setup. 

The second class of the Fighting Pistol Trilogy. This 8 hour class builds upon Foundations of Fighting Pistol.  The intent for the Intermediate class is to bring students into equal parts of mindset, fundamentals, and skills-based curriculum, bridging the gap between the advanced class and the first class.

This course is 8 hours, the final class of the Fighting Pistol Trilogy offered by Paladin Tower Tactics. This class builds upon the other two and is a "skills heavy" class with a high round count and fast-paced learning environment.

Have you been able to dig into the full potential of your red dot mounted on your pistol? Performance Pistol is a fast paced, high round count class designed to show students the advantages of the red dot.  Performance Pistol is an intensive 8-hour course that will cover the following topics: the basics of dots, efficient economy of motion, visual acuity, trigger control optimization, and cognitive processing.  This class is not for beginners. If you have not mastered safe gun handling skills, do not sign up for this course. 

This is a course meant to be shot from an open or duty style holster. It is ideal for law enforcement and military units that wish to master the use of a pistol equipped with an electronic sight. 

 I view training with a “fighting rifle” as a civic duty. When the founders of our great country wrote the second amendment to our constitution, it was done so not to guarantee the pastime of target practice, or the joy of hunting wild game. It was penned to empower the citizens of this country with the ability to preserve their freedoms and protect their republic from foreign and domestic governments. This class exists to not only fulfill that civic duty, but also enable you to protect your family and home with arguably the most effective means to do so: a high powered, military or paramilitary grade rifle.   

This is a course designed to teach you how to fight with a rifle. Students often shoot this course in their "go to war gear." 

Performance Rifle offers students advanced concepts of the application of the fighting rifle. Students attending this course should have a mastery of firearms safety and familiarity with professional grade training courses. Topics covered in the course include: proper application of stress in the learning environment, mastery of the fundamentals, visual acuity, cognitive processing, low probability marksmanship and team considerations. Although this course is beneficial for civilians, it is heavily geared toward operators in a SWAT and military context. 

Advanced Rifle Course, with a heavy skills focus.

 Church Security 1, 2, and 3 exists to equip churches with a competent, God-Honoring security team that is prepared for the reality of evil and the duty to protect God's people. CS1 is Foundations of Fighting Pistol adapted for Church Security teams. What distinguishes it from Foundations is a Bible study taught on the range that demonstrates the Biblical precedence for armed security teams serving a church. Additionally teams will learn how to protect their churches from legal liability by shooting the FBI field agent qualification.  

CS2 is a half day of range work with pistols and half scenario based training with force on force. Teams will be tested on their ability to de-escalate confrontations and make decisions in high stress conditions. 

CS3 is conducted at your church. On day 1 we focus on room clearing (CQB) and decision making scenarios that include force on force. Day 2 is complementary to your team. I show up to your church and evaluate your Sunday service. Afterwards I will provide you and your pastoral staff a security assessment based on what I observed.  

All range work is conducted with concealed pistols. CS2 and CS3 involve force on force scenario training with airsoft pistols provided for students. 

The Forge is an 8 hour force-on-force scenario-based class that will keep your skills sharp without depleting your ammo supply. The first 4 hours of the course students will be exposed to instruction on common criminal activity and how to survive the gunfight, legal fight, and spiritual fight. The last 4 hours of the course involve putting into practice what the class learned by watching student volunteers participate in scenarios against role players from the PTT training staff. A minimum of 10 students is required to hold this class. This class is perfect for large groups of students who want the highest return on their investment into training. If your church, school staff, business, or community group wants to take this course, the only limitation is the venue we use for it. This is by far one of the most fun courses we teach at Paladin Tower Tactics. 

Scenario based training designed to make you think under the stress of simulated criminal encounters.  We use airsoft pistols and protective equipment to simulate criminal encounters with firearms during the scenario based training. 

 The Foundations of Room Clearing course teaches students how engage in close quarter battle (CQB) in and around structures. CQB is a complex and nuanced topic. It is constantly evolving just as combat is evolving. What remains the same are the principles of fighting with a firearm. This course is designed to apply these principles in the application of tactics inside of a structure. 

This course can be tailored to fit the context of the students requesting it. Scott received his instructor training through Dan Brokos' CQB instructor certification and has been exposed to a wide range of CQB methods from military, law enforcement SWAT, and the civilian context. He has firm grasp on all three of these and is the primary CQB instructor for the SWAT team he is still a part of. 

Tactics based room clearing.
