Dynamic Pistol L2

Two-day intermediate pistol course for civilians and law enforcement: movement, multiple targets, stress reloads and shoot/no-shoot scenarios. Book now.

Shooters wearing ear protection fire pistols in a line by a wooden wall, watched by a man in tan clothing.

Dynamic Pistol L2 is HRT's signature two-day program for shooters who already have solid fundamentals and want to perform under pressure. You will train movement, shooting on the move, multiple targets, reloads under stress and decision-making drills that replicate real-world scenarios.

Day one focuses on individual skill building at speed. Day two integrates everything into complex drills and scenario-based exercises.

Course description

Firefight and tactics:

To protect their own life and the lives of others in a firefight, the combatant needs a cool head.

Depending on the situation, even if wounded themselves, the seminar participant learns to remain stress-resistant and tactically capable of acting. Communication in the team / small unit, positioning and movement, as well as the aggressive opening of defensive fire in a defensive situation, are built up tactically.
