Course Overview
THE WATER STAGE
Water doesn't fight the container, it fills it. It moves without effort and it doesn't stop.
Level 0 built your fundamentals standing still. Level 1 is Water: your upper and lower body start working together, and the position you shoot from changes to fit the problem in front of you.
Multiple Shooting Positions teaches you to draw, drop from standing to kneeling to prone, build a stable position each time, make your hits, and get back on your feet with the handgun under control.
This is class 01 on the Handgun Level 1 roadmap. It opens the level, so you should arrive with a safe holster draw and your Level 0 fundamentals in hand.
Training Focus
Primary Course Outcomes
Standing to Kneeling

Back Up With the Gun
Recover to your feet safely, with muzzle and trigger finger under control, ready to move or shoot again.
