Vanilla Gorilla Security - CQC 1 Fundamentals (2)

VGS will be hosting our close quarters clearance (CQC) 1 fundamentals class at the Aurora Sportsman’s Club June 24th from 9am-3pm. CQC is often associated with military and law enforcement training but is just as applicable for civilians who want to learn how to defend themselves or their families from a home invasion. In CQC 1 students will learn the fundamental elements of moving tactically in and around rooms and spaces that contain an active threat from SEALs who have experienced it in combat. This instruction will involve an in depth classroom portion with power power point slides and videos. VGS instructors will give examples of real world combat missions that changed the CQC tactics that the SEAL teams formerly used to what they use today and how these tactics translate over to civilians defending themselves in their homes. After the classroom portion students will apply these these tactics individually performing 1 person clearance and then 2 person clearance. During the practicals students will use UTM paint ammunition and will be given various scenarios to clear rooms that contain paper targets.

Contestants use firearms typical of those from the taming of the Old West: single action revolvers, pistol caliber lever action rifles, and old-time shotguns. There are 5-6 stages set up in unique "Old West" style. Stage scenarios feature an array of situations, many based on famous incidents or movie scenes, in which shooters test their skills against steel targets.

Beginners, experts, members, non-members, spectators and curious people are all welcome. Hearing protection and eye protection with side shields are required for participants and spectators.

Everyone tries their best to dress the part and respect the traditions of the Old West. Some folks would call it good sportsmanship. We call it "The Spirit of the Game."

Matches are held according to Single Action Shooting Society rules.

Walk-ins are welcome. Fees: $15 per adult shooter, $10 for "Young Guns" ages 14 thru 16. "Buckaroos" under age 13 shoot free (Buckaroos must have .22 caliber pistols and rifles, 410 gauge shotguns.) There is no fee for spectators. All fee's can be paid on date of matches.
