Course Overview

THE VOID STAGE

Level 3 was Fire — closing in and finishing by fire and maneuver.

Level 4 is Void. Void is the flow state: no hesitation, nothing between seeing and doing. You know where the round went before the target tells you.

You have qualified through Level 3 on both the handgun and the rifle. Until now they were two separate paths.

Level 4 makes them one. You run the rifle until it's time for the pistol, you know when to transition and when to fix the rifle, and you do it on the move and around cover without stopping to think.

Across the Alpha and Bravo blocks you'll work rifle-to-pistol transitions over two days, then run both guns in one problem. Then you shoot the standard. Complete both blocks with a passing score and you are Level 4 qualified.

Training Focus

Primary Course Outcomes

One Shooter, Two Guns

Rifle to pistol and back. A transition that is fast, safe and automatic, with the sling doing its job.

Know When to Switch

Transition or fix the rifle? Distance, cover and time make the call. You'll learn to read it and commit.

Call Your Shots

See the sights lift and know the hit before you look. Confidence without hesitation, on the move and around cover.
