DEFENSIVE HANDGUN

Defensive Handgun is Hammered Pear's flagship course.

We recommend all students take this class, regardless of age, gender or disability-YOU are you own first responder. 

-Defensive Handgun is a 1000-level class designed for the everyday citizen who carries a gun in defense of themselves and their family.

-The curriculum is designed to add systems and new perspectives to Law Enforcement/Security personnel to help them survive the Fight. Many cops don’t carry off-duty, and we intend to make that culturally taboo.

-Designed for new CCW holders and experienced shooters, every student will walk away with an incredible and memorable learning experience.

                                                                               Class Topics:

Tourniquet Application, Jeff Cooper's Firearm Safety Block, Fundamentals of Shooting, The Drawstroke, Applied Ballistics, Legal & Moral Use of Force and more.

                                                                                Packing List:

-A Quality Semi-Automatic, Magazine-Fed Handgun

-A Quality Holster

-500 Rounds of Ammunition

-Clothes Accurate to your EDC, but that you won’t be upset to tear/stain. If you wear a suit everyday, purchase an old suit jacket/pants from goodwill.

-Weather-Appropriate Gear; We will train no matter the weather

-3 Spare Magazines, Preferably Factory-Built/ OEM. Off-brand handgun magazines do not survive classes

-Closed-Toed Shoes

-Bag Lunch

-A Gallon of Water

-Battle belts are optional and discouraged. This class is designed for concealed carry.

-Ear protection (electronic, noise-cancelling muffs preferred)

-Eyepro

-Ball Cap/ Scarf Optional

-A Solid Belt (if you can fold the belt in half vertically, it’s not going to do well)

-Sunscreen/Bugspray

Classes Take Place in Suches, GA on Private Property. For security purposes, the address of the range will be sent to each student via email before the day of the class.

"Fight To Live" is an experimental course designed to simulate combat stress through vigorous exercise and scenario-based courses of fire. 

"Fight To Live" is an experimental course designed to simulate combat stress through vigorous exercise and scenario-based courses of fire. 

This course will put you - and your gear - to the test. It is HIGHLY recommended that you've completed Defensive Pistol, and are in good physical shape and don't have any medical issues that can be induced by HARD physical labor.

Drills May Consist Of (But Are NOT Limited To:)

-Timed Runs up to a Mile in Length (With or Without Kit)
-Calisthenics (Burpees, Pushups, Abdominal Exercises, Sprints)
-Kettlebell Workouts (Swings, Get-Ups, Hijacks, Carries)
-Buddy Drags and Carries
-Glove/Pad Drills (Striking, Boxing)

Our goal is to push you to your physical breaking point so you can learn how to fight through exhaustion and duress.

Each drill is voluntary - if you want to excuse yourself to take a break, doing so will not bar you from completing further drills (We don't want people to die of heatstroke). However, this may be your only opportunity to get live-fire repetitions when you've put the pedal to the medal and the gas tank has run out. 

Students may be asked to "Cold Soak" in buckets of ice water to get their core temperature down (or go for a "swim" in local water features.  Not only does this suck, it helps you cool off.

You don't need to be a triathlete to attend - you just need the mindset to push bast your breaking point, and never quit despite what your body's telling you.

                                                                                Packing List:

-Whatever "Kit" You Want to Test- PC's, Chest Rigs, Battle Belts
-Your Fighting Rifle
