T.A.S.C. Tactical Training at Aurora Sportsmen's Club

Description

The purpose of T.A.S.C. is skills development, not competition. The focus of T.A.S.C. will be the introduction, development, and practice of skills that would be applicable in self-defense situations. Shoot, Move, Communicate.

Each event starts with a discussion of the skills and techniques that will be explored that day, followed by dry fire and individual skills based breakdown sessions. Each event will culminate with the application of the days work being applied to potential real-world scenarios.

Vehicle operations and counter-ambush skills are one of the skills developed at T.A.S.C.
