MAG-20 Range Course

Guest-instructed by Massad Ayoob.
 

The MAG-20 Range Course is formally the StressFire Course of Massad Ayoob’s Lethal Force Institute.  After interviewing hundreds of officers who had survived gunfights, Ayoob drew on their experiences, combined with his own extensive research to create a powerful combat handgun system, initially known as the StressFire shooting method. Ayoob's research showed that in life threatening situations, human beings experience profound physical and psychological pressures causing deterioration of fine motor skills, and altering perceptions of time and other sensory inputs. Combining proven shooting techniques with principles from various martial arts styles, StressFire is a system that not only works under the enormous stress of violent encounters but actually feeds off it.
 

These techniques are taught in Ayoob's MAG-20 Range Course a dynamic, two day course, a program that is designed to bring out the student's maximum potential for shooting a handgun under stress and to achieve the optimum blend of speed and accuracy.  Students will learn drawing from concealment, two-handed shooting stances, one-handed shooting with either hand, shooting from positions that work from behind cover, speed reloading and more with overall emphasis on fast, accurate shot placement. Training includes completion of a police-style qualification. The MAG-20 Range Course is ideal for the shooter who wishes to hone and fine-tune their techniques.  This is not a program for beginners or those new to the handgun; we recommend completion of our Defensive Handgun class or equivalent from another reputable firearms training school prior to attending.
