This program is
restricted to active certified law enforcement only.
Reserve’s and Security personnel are not eligible to attend this course.
Proof of certification will be required at registration.
WHY “LAW ENFORCEMENT ONLY”?
The power of this
methodology will give ANYONE the skill to shoot with absolute precision accuracy
on the very first day of training. This program will address specialized
tactics used by law enforcement and how the shooting techniques can be
integrated into tactical operations. We feel it could be dangerous if this new
methodology would get into the hands of the criminal element. It is
specifically designed to address the special needs of the officer working the
street today.

The
Neuro-Psychology to
“INSTANT” PRECISION ACCURACY
A COMPREHENSIVE 2-DAY ADVANCED PISTOL COURSE
Printable Format
Whether you are a police
firearms instructor wanting to know how to dramatically increase your teaching
skills or an officer wanting to increase your accuracy with a pistol, this class
will give you the insight and skill to shoot with absolute precision accuracy.
We guarantee that you will gain more insight into the shooting process in this
two day program than in any other firearms course offered today! Most
instructors who have attended Insight’s advanced courses claim they learned more
in just two days than they’ve learned in their entire shooting career.
COURSE SUMMARY
The statistics reported by
the FBI Uniform Crime Reports on officer involved shootings demonstrates that
there are glaring deficiencies in the way our officers are trained today.
Without laying blame, we will focus on many of the solutions that will give our
officers better discretionary skills in the use of deadly force and provide the
officer with the skills to shoot with precision accuracy even under the most
extreme conditions.
Every officer attending
this program will develop the ability to shoot surgical precision shots on
demand in any justifiable situation with 97% accuracy. (According to sports
psychologists, there will always be the potential for a 3% variance in human
performance.) This kind of accuracy is only possible when ALL the elements
required to make precision shots are integrated to the unconscious and the
process is generalized to the appropriate context or situation. If the
unconscious is driving the shooting process, the body will then have a map to
follow. This will give the officer a high degree of accuracy even under the
most extreme conditions. In today’s society where criminals and terrorists are
wearing bullet resistant vests, it has become more critical than ever for
officers to be able to make precision shots at reactive speeds on demand.
AN INSTRUCTOR'S
PERSPECTIVE ON THE NEURO-PSYCHOLOGY TO “INSTANT” PRECISION ACCURACY
The teaching
processes will be explained and demonstrated throughout the course and
behavioral modeling techniques will be used for the benefit of the Police
Firearms Instructors attending this program. The instructors will gain an
understanding of the what, how, and why these techniques work so they can take
the information back to their department and immediately start applying the
principles learned in the class.
PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVES:
Upon completion of the course, the officer will learn and/or be able to do the
following:
- Identify the missing
elements required for peak performance that they don’t tell you about in
traditional firearms training courses.
- Identify why many of the
current firearms training methodologies contribute to the inappropriate use of
deadly force rather than alternative uses of non-lethal force.
- Integrate the safe and
proper techniques of gun handling to the unconscious to assure the officer’s
safety, and the safety of others.
- Eliminate any
anticipation to recoil “instantly”.
- Shoot consistent 1” to
1-1/2” groups at 15 feet, and 3” groups at 30 feet with consistency.
- Control their emotional
state so they can shoot with machine-like precision.
- Shoot at reactive speeds
of 50/100’s of a second to 1 second, at Pop-up Falling Plate “Head Sized”
Targets, at distances out to 45 feet with accuracy of 97% or better.
- Have the skill
integrated to the unconscious so the skill of precision accuracy transfers to
the appropriate situation on the street.
- How to properly diagnose
an officer’s eye dominance and visual skills so they will achieve a stable
sighting plane and will shoot with precision accuracy.
- Give the officer the
skill to self diagnose any problems related to accuracy, and self correct any
issues that are roadblocks to obtaining peak performance.
- How to use Laser Sights
to enhance performance and achieve precision accuracy.
- Teach the officer how to
effectively shoot from cover without sacrificing speed or accuracy.
- Integrate a missing key
element in the traditional combat mind “color code” system that will
dramatically increase their accuracy.
- Enhance accuracy under
stress even under the most extreme conditions instead of having their accuracy
degrade.
- Program the unconscious
so it drives the shooting process, allowing the conscious mind the freedom to
strategize tactically.
- Shoot in low light
without degrading accuracy, with and without a flashlight.
- Condition “contextual
cues” in the shoot/don’t shoot context to shape the discretionary use of
deadly force.
- Use a formal hypnotic
induction to program motor skills and anchor resourceful emotional states
required for precision accuracy and/or tactical applications.
- Future Pace the learning
experience so the skills learned can easily be generalized into the
appropriate context or situation.
- Demonstrate ways this
new teaching methodology can be integrated into their department’s current
training curriculum so they are able to reduce their department’s ammunition
usage by 50%, decrease the required training time by up-to 75%, and yet
increase their officer’s accuracy so they are capable of shooting
qualification scores of 100%.
COURSE
CONTENT
DAY 1
- WHAT THEY DON’T TELL YOU ABOUT IN TRADITIONAL FIREARMS COURSES
CLASSROOM
HOW THE BRAIN LEARNS & THE FORMULA FOR INSTANT SUCCESS
Learn why many of the
traditional firearms training methods set students up for failure right from the
start.
Learn psychological
strategies for increasing your accuracy by 75% before you even begin shooting.
Learn how to enter the
“ZONE” of peak performance. What is it? How to achieve it? And How to enter it
on demand.
How to create the
phenomenon called “parallel processing” in which both hemispheres of the brain
are engaged so the unconscious can drive the shooting process, and the conscious
mind is free to strategize and execute tactics.
SAFETY
Most people don’t consciously violate the rules of firearms safety.
Learn the
neuro-psychological causes of unintentional, careless, and negligent discharges.
Learn a new and powerful
technique that cements safety habits into the unconscious.
How to program the brain to
send up a red flag if the primary rule of firearms safety is violated at the
unconscious level to prevent an accidental discharge.
MARKSMANSHIP – The Missing Elements
Develop the methods to shoot with 97% accuracy in any situation under any
condition.
You will learn the
techniques and skills that will instantly have you shooting
1” to 1-1/2” groups at 15 feet and 3” groups or tighter at 30 feet with
consistency. This accuracy is usually achieved by every officer within the
first hour of training on the range regardless of their previous experience
shooting a pistol.
Learn techniques for
eliminating all the emotion from the shooting process and trance-form your
accuracy into machine-like precision.
Learn gun handling
techniques used by the world’s top professional shooters that give them
incredible accuracy and speed.
Learn the mental skills
used by “world class athletes” to give them instant access to the “Zone” of peak
performance when they need it most.
EYE DOMINANCE, VISION AND ACCURACY
You’ve heard of the saying: “Garbage in - Garbage out”. (When you have a
thorough understanding of the visual process you’ll set yourself up for
remarkable accuracy.)
Learn why the traditional
“Thumb & Forefinger Circle” technique and the “Two Handed “Triangle” method of
diagnosing eye dominance is about as accurate as “Pinning the Tail on the
Donkey” blind folded.
You'll learn about the
different types of eye dominance, and why a shooter’s eye dominance can become
unstable or even shift to the other eye. This can create a pseudo sighting
plane which may cause the officer to crossfire.
Learn Insight’s 7-Point
Dominance Test to guarantee the stability of your sighting plane. (We will
use a PowerPoint Presentation loaded with video clips to demonstrate the
variations of eye dominance and techniques that will stabilize a shooter's
dominance.)
You’ll learn how to see
your front sight in a way that guarantees precision accuracy by utilizing the "GIP”
technique.
Learn the three ocular
movements required for a “shoot / don't shoot” situation to assure the shooting
is justified and the shot is accurate.
STATE MANAGEMENT
State management is the key to peak performance. (If the officer’s emotions
are kept under control, they will be able to maintain precision accuracy in any
environment.)
Develop the techniques to
keep your emotional state under control in any situation.
Learn how to neuro-code the
shooting process so you naturally synchronize the mind, the emotional state, and
the body, to the achieve peak performance.
Learn how to “anchor” (hold
in place) precision shots so they are the norm, and missed shots become an
anomaly that falls within the 3% variance of human performance.
Learn how to instantly
recover from a “Startle Response” to gain control of your emotions and shoot
with absolute confidence and accuracy.
THE NEURO PSYCHOLOGY OF ELIMINATING THE AVERSION TO RECOIL
If
the shooting foundation is properly structured, the officer will not experience
an aversion to the firing process or anticipate recoil.
Healing the gun, milking
the trigger and flinching are all “symptoms” of a much deeper problem. Learn
how to identify the root cause of the aversion to the firing process instantly
and eliminate it forever. (Does this sound too good to be true? It is true
if you get to the root cause.)
You will learn
neuro-psychological and biomechanical processes that will structure the shooting
process for instant accuracy starting with the very first shot.
TRIGGER CONTROL
Learn how to create a clear
neuro-pathway from your brain to your trigger finger, and isolate the trigger
finger’s movement from the rest of the hand so you don’t disturb the alignment
of the sights during the trigger compression phase of the shooting process.
Learn the proper
biomechanics for manipulating the trigger to achieve precision accuracy and a
fast second shot.
Develop the method for
integrating the required trigger compression technique to the unconscious and
create muscle memory.
INSIGHT TO THE USE OF LASER SIGHTS
How the elements of
marksmanship can be applied to using a laser sight to maximize accuracy and
speed.
Learn the missing key
elements of the; “Point – Hold – Squeeze” technique traditionally taught in the
use of laser sights.
You’ll learn how to create
a cybernetic loop for a fast accurate first shot using a laser sight.
Learn the proper technique
for follow through when using a laser for a fast second shot.
INTEGRATION
Learn to create muscle
memory without having to shoot thousands of rounds of ammunition and spend
hundreds of hours of repetition trying to integrate the skill.
Learn how to integrate a
“Pre-Shot Routine” into the shooting process to gain consistency and accuracy
with every shot.
You’ll learn about “trance
states” and how they can be used to change negative behavior and achieve peak
performance.
Learn about the power of
hypnosis and how it can accelerate the learning process and program the motor
skills to the unconscious to produce machine-like precision.
RANGE SAFETY
Range Rules of Conduct
RANGE
APPLICATION OF THE MISSING ELEMENTS
The officers will apply the
advanced principals of marksmanship and the psychological skills learned in
previous blocks of instruction to produce 1 inch to 1-1/2 inch groups in the
first hour of on the range … Guaranteed!
DEVELOPING A BIOMECHANICALLY CORRECT DRAW FOR SPEED AND ACCURACY
The officers will develop
the pyramidal pathways for a biomechanically correct presentation of the weapon
to the target. The focus will be to economize movement and maximize speed and
accuracy.
CONDITIONING THE PROCESS
You will begin the
conditioning cycle required for developing the cybernetic loop for delivering an
accurate precision sighted shot.
CLASSROOM
PROGRAMMING PRECISION ACCURACY IN AN ALPHA STATE
The officers will be lead
through the process of entering an Alpha State. This is a formal hypnotic closed
eye induction creating a trance state where the brain produces alpha waves and
is most open to suggestions and programming. They will integrate the newly
learned information to the unconscious so the techniques learned will be as
automatic as driving a car.
DAY 2 – ENGAGEMENT: TESTING THE STRENGTH OF THE CONDITIONING
The student will
participate in various scenarios of engagement where they must apply the mental
skills and the advanced principles of marksmanship. It will put the strength of
the conditioning to the test. Any break down in accuracy or speed will be
reconditioned to a deeper level until the process is cemented into the officer’s
unconscious.
CLASSROOM
ANATOMY OF A GUNFIGHT
In order to fully
understand the skills required to win a gunfight, we will analyze the complexity
of the problems faced by the officer in a confrontation and strategies that will
give them the winning advantage.
You will learn about the
difference between “real” time” and “perceived time” and how this knowledge can
give you a tactical edge.
We’ll explore the phenomena
of “Emotional Contagion”. You’ll learn why accuracy can dramatically degrade as
much as 45% when more than one officer is involved in a shooting. Why it
happens? How to control it and maximize accuracy.
THE COMBAT MIND
Learn a new and critical
technique that can be integrated into the “color code” (white, yellow, orange
and red) that will give the officer the needed “Key” to keeping their emotional
state under control.
Learn why the alignment of
the officer’s beliefs and values regarding the use of deadly force is as
important to making an accurate shot as the alignment of their front and rear
sight. The officer will participate in exercises that will stack their beliefs
and values so they are congruent. This will eliminate any hesitation on the
part of the officer that would prevent them from achieving peak performance when
faced with a life threatening assailant.
You’ll learn how to
minimize or even eliminate the potential effects of Post Traumatic Stress
Syndrome if you are involved in a shooting.
FUTURE PACING
We will integrate the
skills of accuracy and tactical applications to the unconscious using a formal
closed eye hypnotic induction before exposing the officers to simulation
exercises. This allows the officer to first experience the application of the
skill in a safe environment. By taking the officer into trance before going to
the range, we can integrate the shooting process into any situation so the
skills required for precision accuracy become generalized into every
application. We will condition the process so the greater the perceived threat,
the more machine-like the officer will become. This will produce accurate
machine-like precision.
REVIEW: Range Safety Rules and Advanced Marksmanship Principles
RANGE
ADVANCED MARKSMANSHIP DRILLS
The officers will be put
through a series of progressive shooting drills. They will discover that once
they have integrated all the elements of marksmanship, they will be able shoot
as accurately with their support hand as they can with their dominant hand. The
officers will be challenged with speed drills, reloading drills, multiple
targets, and close quarter combat engagements.
REACTIVE SHOOTING DRILLS
We will utilize a Reactive
Pop-up / Falling Plate Target System that limits the target’s exposure time to
50/100’s of a second to 1 second. This forces the shooter to utilize the front
sight as the stimulus for a conditioned response on the trigger. It takes the
officer out of the “conscious” mindset into a reactive “auto-pilot” mode while
maintaining precision accuracy. In other words, it conditions the shooting
process to the unconscious that produces machine-like accuracy.
USE OF COVER : Applying of the principles of marksmanship and using cover at
reactive speeds.
Develop methods to maximize
the use of cover without compromising safety, speed or accuracy.
LOW LIGHT DRILLS
The officers will learn how to shoot
in low light as accurately as they can in a daylight environment, with and
without a flash light.
SHOOT / DON’T-SHOOT: Conditioning the “contextual cues” for a shoot or don’t
shoot situation.
The officer will be
confronted with a suspect or multiple suspects in “Real Time”. They will assess
the threat and may use reasonable force based on the contextual cues. They may
be required to communicate and create a dialogue with the suspect. Some
situations may require the officer to escalate to the use of deadly force, while
other situations may require the officer to use non-lethal alternatives or
deescalate to achieve a tactical advantage. The simulated exercises are done
with live ammunition and will truly test the conditioning processes of the
skills learned in this program to assure that they transfer to the street.
CLASSROOM
ADMINISTRATIVE: How to get your Commanding Officers to buy-into allocating more
time for developing your firearms training program in your department.
How to reduce the
department’s ammunition expenditure in your firearms training program by 50%,
reduce the amount of required training time by 75%, and yet enhance every
officer’s skill level in the department so they can qualify with a score of 100%
on the qualification course.
Learn how to dramatically
reduce your exposure to vicarious liability as a firearms instructor.
How to reduce your
department's liability by providing a better training program in the use of
deadly force and shaping the officer’s
discretionary skills.
THE “CIRCLE OF EXCELLENCE” TECHNIQUE & FUTURE APPLICATIONS
The officers will be will
be guided into an Alpha State and taught “The Circle of Excellence” technique.
This is one of the most powerful techniques for achieving peak performance. (It
is used by many professional and world class athletes.) They will integrate and
program the newly learned information to the unconscious and into future
applications.
