The next segment of the course is focused on dry fire manipulations, during which time we cover the following topics:

• Ready positions
• Moving with a firearm in ready positions

• Controlled pairs
• Close quarters un-sighted fire drills
• Focused accuracy drills

The culmination of the course is the Oregon DPSST PQC-1 Handgun Qualification Course.

This will allow you to quantify your skills and compare them with what is required of your local law enforcement.
