Course Overview
THE WATER STAGE
Water takes the shape of what carries it. Your gear should take the shape of how you move.
Level 1 has you kneeling, going prone, turning and getting back up. That is where a badly placed holster, a loose belt or a buried magazine shows itself.
Proper Gear Set Up walks through where your holster, magazines and medical gear sit on your body and why, then tests every piece while you move and shoot.
This is class 04 on the Handgun Level 1 roadmap. Bring the gear you actually plan to carry or train in, so we can fix it in class instead of you finding out later.
