Who Should Attend:
This workshop is essential for anyone living in or traveling to areas populated by grizzly bears, offering critical skills for enhancing personal safety.
Preparation:
- Participants should bring notebooks, lunch, outdoor clothing, and exhibit a readiness to learn.
- Details on equipment for the handgun defense segment are as follows:
- The handgun you will use for bear defense (loaner 10mm Glock & .44 Mag revolver available)
- Another handgun with similar functions, depending on if you use a revolver or pistol.
- We encourage you to bring 50+ rounds of 22 LR (CCI Mini-Mag high velocity works best) to use with our loaner pistols or yours
- 100+ rounds of 9mm (or .40 or .45ACP) ball/target ammo
- At least 10 rounds of what you will actually carry.
*If you are not a “gun person” you are still welcome to attend this class! We suggest that if you are uncomfortable/unfamiliar with firearms, that you plan to use our .22LR pistol, which has almost no recoil/kick, and is very quiet. Just bring 100+ rounds of CCI Mini-Mag high velocity ammo.
Registration:
Limited spots are available to ensure a quality learning experience. Early registration is recommended.
Note: Participants must be of legal age to handle firearms. No prior firearms experience is required, but an openness to learn and actively participate is essential.
But wait! There’s more!

One Second in a Gunfighters life. Part One
One second that matters.
One second that determines if there will be a following second.
Fathers & those that know fathers – come spend an afternoon and evening at the Jackson Hole Gun Club, learning and practicing defensive fighting skills that are a cornerstone of being a Peaceful and Prepared Neighbor, Protector and Father.
This will be zero-fluff handgun Firearms Training in Jackson Hole, filled with substance, challenging drills and in depth instruction to guide you on the path of transitioning from being a shooter to becoming skilled fighter with a gun, a capable protector of what matters most.
Focus will be on skills needed to prevail in close quarters armed conflict in non-sterile environment. That is an environment with loved ones, friends, by-standers present in immediate proximity of the fight … morphing skills into applications for harsh realities of a gun fight.
This 6-hour class will expose the realities of close quarters armed conflict through combining the usage of non-lethal training munitions to diagnose problems and issues, then in live fire training drills will address the methodology to sequentially fine tune the attributes, skills, skill sets and their applications to the diagnosed problem areas of your training and existing skills.
This isn’t an uber-tactical class for a fantasy-land glorious fight of one’s dreams- this is down and dirty look at what you will face in the nightmare scenario of real world violence.
Non-lethal munitions will be utilized to diagnose realistic reactions to surprise attacks and follow-up actions of the participants. Based on observations extracted, the training will progress to live fire portion, focusing on tuning up individual response patterns of each participant.
Topics to be addressed:
– Range safety and reality of the one second of the gunfight- how can they co-exist.
– Peripheral realm- getting out of the visual and mental “tunnel”.
– Movement- the thing that buys you 1/2 of that second.
– Weapon access.
– The stigma and dogma of shooting stance.
– One second. One shot. Everything else will be determined by this simple equation.
– Shooting (and hitting the target) from less than optimal positions.
