TACTICAL APPLICATION PISTOL: LEVEL ONE
The handgun alone among weapons possesses such tactically decisive potential in a package so portable, accessible, and covert.
“TAP-One” is a beginner level pistol class that grounds handgun shooters in fundamental concepts of safe, competent gun-handling, marksmanship, and range etiquette. It also introduces basic mindset and tactics: training the mind to predict and avoid or address violent encounters competently and responsibly.
Tactical Application Pistol: Level One is a prerequisite to Tactical Application Pistol: Level Two/Three.
