COURSE DESCRIPTION
Disruptive Environment, or D3, is designed as an advanced applications course to accelerate skill-set development for experienced shooters. The curriculum is relevant to anyone from the responsible armed citizen, to active MIL and LEO. Shooting performance can be subdivided into fundamentals, skill-sets, and tactics. For reference, our D5 curriculum focuses on the development of a solid foundation in fundamentals and human factors, where the D3 curriculum moves more into the development of next level skill-sets in low-light/no light, vehicles/cover considerations, home/business defense, and urban vs rural environments. This multiday, advanced applications format, integrates light/illumination techniques (both handheld and weapon mounted), movement, communication, and shooting, into decisive actions. The course includes lectures, demonstrations, deliberate practice models, and multiple exercises where students will be challenged to combine techniques that work for them into solutions that can potentially save lives.
Warning
This course should not be selected if you have not been through a foundational course with us (D5/D7 Courses) or another reputable organization/instructor. All advanced application students must have fundamental weapon safety and weapon manipulation knowledge. A baseline assessment on safety, speed, accuracy, manipulations, and movement is conducted upon arrival to determine if students current skill levels are adequate to safely proceed through the course. Students will be pulled from training for safety violations.
Core topics covered for all weapon systems:
- Haley Strategic Train approach to learning
- Why “science” and how to create a model for excellence
- How deliberate practice accelerates learning
- How critical stress (body alarm response) affects visual acuity and efficiency
- Stress management before, during and after
- Baseline assessment (Qualification)
- Supplemental instruction relative to baseline results
- Biomechanics and maximizing the efficiency of the draw
- Position work & biomechanical considerations in all shooting positions
D3 Handgun Sharpening
Just as a knife is forged, folded, beaten and sharpened, we must expose ourselves to these constructive processes with the handgun. This course is purely performance based for those who are wanting to enroll into one of our more advanced courses, wanting to up your qualification score or improve your performance in shooting competitions. The diagnostics based curriculum will establish performance baselines and identify gaps for improvement.
Warning
This course should not be selected if you have not been through a foundational course with us (D5/D7 Courses) or another reputable organization/instructor. All advanced application students must have fundamental weapon safety and weapon manipulation knowledge. A baseline assessment on safety, speed, accuracy, manipulations, and movement is conducted upon arrival to determine if students current skill levels are adequate to safely proceed through the course.

D3 Castle
Your home is your castle. You would protect it at any cost. Are you truly prepared to do so? What is required? Do you have concentric rings of security in place? Will those measures prevent entry in order to avoid the employment of lethal force? If those security measures are defeated, what are the ramifications? Our multiday curriculum focuses on skill-set development related to home defense.
Disclaimer
Although D3 Castle is a part of the Disruptive Environments family, this course is not as strict on the prereqs for enrollment. Everyone has a home and everyone should know the fundamentals and skill sets in which to defend it. In order to maximize your efficiency in learning, this course should NOT be selected if you do NOT have at least a "basic" understanding of firearm fundamentals and safety. If you are hesitant, then we would highly suggest enrolling in our D5 Course(s) before enrolling in a D3 Course.
In addition to core topics:
- Baseline assessment (qualification)
- Supplemental instruction relative to baseline results
