D3 - Sharpening - Movement & Positions - Handgun
OVERVIEW
Disruptive Environment, or D3, is an advanced, multi-day applications course that accelerates next-level skill development for experienced shooters from responsible armed citizens to active MIL and LEO. Building upon the fundamentals taught in D5, D3 pushes into applied, real-world skillsets and tactics: Ballistics, low-light and night vision operations, vehicle operations and cover considerations, home and business defense, and the challenges of urban vs. rural environments. This immersive curriculum blends lecture, demonstration, and deliberate practice with all your mission essential tools while shooting, moving, and communicating under pressure training students to turn knowledge into decisive action. Each participant completes a baseline assessment for safety, speed, accuracy, and manipulations to ensure readiness. Prior foundational training (D5 or other reputable organization) is required, and strict safety standards are enforced throughout.
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.
This is an intensive, data-driven handgun course that prioritizes movement, stability, and position work for experienced shooters. Through high-rep, diagnostics-based training, you’ll build repeatable, fight-ready positional mechanics (kneeling, prone, supine/side, seated, improvised bracing) and learn to move tactically while retaining speed and hit performance. Every drill tests and records performance, so you leave with objective baselines, movement-specific diagnostics, and a concrete practice plan to make dynamic shooting reliable under pressure.
Who is this for?
-
Experienced handgun shooters who need to make dynamic positions and movements reliable
-
Professionals and competitors looking to reduce variability when shooting from non-standard positions
-
Anyone preparing for qualification standards, dynamic match stages, or real-world movement engagements
What each student walks away with:
- Measured movement baseline (time, accuracy, and consistency across common tactical positions)
- Position playbook: step-by-step mechanics and reproducible entry/exit sequences for kneeling, prone, seated, supine, side-prone, and barricade-supported shots
- Movement-to-shot metrics (presentation time while moving, accuracy retention, and transition splits)
- Drills for shooting on the move, moving around and with other people, and lifesaver/attack-offline scenarios
- Stability & mobility exercises tied directly to shooting positions to reduce breakdowns and speed recovery
- Self-diagnostic checklist for position and movement failures (how to quickly identify root cause: balance, footwork, grip, sighting, or trigger control)
- Video/timer-assisted feedback with coach notes and corrective-rep prescriptions
- A personalized practice plan with drill sets, rep counts, and measurable checkpoints for progress
- Confidence to apply movement and position skills in qualifications, matches, and real-world scenarios
- Movement fundamentals: footwork, cadence, cover/crossing, and partner-aware movement
- Shooting on the move: presentation, sight retention, and maintaining hits while advancing/retreating
