SUMMARY:Near and Far: The Complete Handgun Fight
DESCRIPTION:Register Now for Near and Far: The Complete Handgun Fight\n\n\n\nNear and Far: The Complete Handgun Fight\nGreg Elifritz and I are teaming up to bring you an action-packed\, two-day training experience that covers the full spectrum of handgun combat. Greg will lead students through extreme close-range gunfighting\, covering retention shooting\, in-fight weapons access\, contact-distance shooting mechanics\, and close-quarters problem-solving skills designed for real-world encounters. I’ll round out the program by teaching long-range handgun skills that push students past comfort zones and into true marksmanship performance territory; engaging targets from 15 to 50+ yards. From braced positions to prone\, this training prepares you for the realities of large\, open-space threats where the distance requires skills. Together\, we’re delivering a course that prepares you for every fight; near and far from arm’s length to across the street. \nClose Quarters Gunfighting\nThe skills you learned on the shooting range or in your CCW class may not work for you when the fight happens within arms’ reach. Extreme close range gunfighting is a completely different skill set\, one that relies far more on FIGHTING than on mere shooting. \nIn this class Greg Ellifritz will teach the dynamic close quarters gunfighting skills covering the following topics: \n\nRetention Shooting Positions\nBody positioning and shooting stances for the close quarters fight\nIn-fight weapons access and drawing skills\nStopping an opponent’s draw\nMechanical and tactical considerations for making contact distance shots\nClose quarters gun disarms\nOne handed close quarters malfunction drills\nUsing the firearm as an impact weapon\nDrawing and shooting from unconventional position\nClose range lethal force empty hand skills\n\nThis is not the class for a beginner. Proper gun handling skills and prior training is a prerequisite for the course. Students must be competent gun handlers. They should be able to draw safely from the holster\, shoot one handed\, and clear common malfunctions without assistance. \nIf students do not possess these basic skills at the start of the course\, they will be barred from further live fire participation. \nThe class will be physical\, but you will be able to control your level of participation in each drill. This class will not include any physical conditioning\, nor will it devolve into some type of “Fight Club” scenario occasionally seen in similar classes. \nI pride myself on taking care of my students. You’ll be tired at the end of the day\, but if you can stand on your feet and engage in light intensity upper body exercise for a period of about six hours\, you will do absolutely fine in the class. I will attempt to scale the activity level for folks with physical limitations. \nInstructor Bio:\nGreg Ellifritz is the President and Primary Instructor of Active Response Training and recently retired after 25 years in law enforcement. He spent 13 years as a full-time tactical training officer\, developing and teaching in-service training for his department\, and served in roles including rangemaster\, sniper\, armorer\, bike patrol coordinator\, and field training officer. Greg instructed for 17 years at the Tactical Defense Institute and was a lead instructor in ground fighting\, knife fighting\, active shooter response\, impact weapons\, and extreme close-quarters shooting. He holds instructor or armorer certifications in more than 80 weapons systems and has completed over 4\,000 hours of advanced training with leading firearms and defensive tactics instructors nationwide. Greg has also taught at the state\, national\, and international level\, holds a master’s degree in public policy and management\, and is a published author in multiple professional firearms and law enforcement publications. \nGreg can be reached through his website at www.activeresponsetraining.net \nLong Range Handgunning\nThis is an intensive handgun course dedicated to building accuracy and accountability at extended distances\, with students engaging targets from 15 out to 50+ yards. In this course Jeff will reinforces the core shooting fundamentals; sight management\, trigger control\, recoil management\, follow-through and shot calling; through structured drills with clear performance standards. \nStudents will learn to maximize stability and precision by shooting from kneeling\, seated\, prone\, and braced positions using cover or support. The course is designed around real-world threats in large\, open environments where attacks often occur beyond typical defensive distances and compliments the near and far approach. Built for experienced shooters\, this performance-driven program sharpens marksmanship and confidence when distance is present. In this course Jeff will be covering these topics: \n\n\n\nDevelop the ability to make consistent\, accountable hits at extended handgun distances from 15 to 50+ yards.\nRefine core shooting fundamentals; sight management\, trigger control\, recoil control\, and shot calling; specifically for long-range performance.\nBuild confidence engaging threats beyond typical defensive ranges found in large\, open environments.\nApply stable shooting positions (kneeling\, seated\, prone) to increase accuracy and control at distance.\nUse cover and braced positions effectively to improve precision and reduce exposure.\nStrengthen diagnostic shooting skills by using shot calling to immediately correct errors at extended range.\nEstablish measurable performance standards for long-range handgun shooting through structured drills.\nPrepare students to effectively engage threats in large\, open environments where distance\, accuracy\, and timing are critical.\n\nThis course is designed to help students develop the technical skill and personal confidence necessary for successful long-range handgun shooting through a guided approach. \n\nRequired Gear\n\nDuty pistol\, 9mm (red dot sight optional* & no ported or comped weapons)\n700 rounds of training ammunition\n5 x pistol magazines (8 magazines for single stacks)\nRange attire: long pants\, comfortable shirt\, athletic shoes and ball cap\nBasic loadout: rigid belt\, quality holster\, magazine pouches and dump pouch (optional)\nWrap around ballistic eye protection\nHearing protection\nKnee pads or shooting pad\nWater\, snacks\, sunscreen and appropriate inclement weather clothing\nFirearms cleaning kit and quality lubrication\nNotebook and pencil\nOpen mind\nThin gloves is useful\, but not mandatory\n\n– No small of the back\, ankle\, shoulder\, or cross draw holsters. No Serpa-style holsters allowed. \n*Students are welcome to use RDS equipped pistols\, but must ensure they are properly zeroed. Recommended zero distance is 25 yards for optimal performance\, but regardless students must know their impacts at ranges from 0-25 yards.  \nRegistration fee does not include associated range fees of $30/day.  \nWant to see other classes coming up this year?
