become undeniable

The driving philosophy behind our training program is this core concept: become undeniable. The idea is simple, demonstrated skills are undeniable. When the buzzer sounds, when the breach is good, when the shots count…competence matters. No matter your background or experience the goals are the same: hit the target, think under pressure, perform on-demand. Learn to do these things and you become, in a word, undeniable.

Our courses are designed to take relevant fundamental concepts – marksmanship, weapon handling, tactics, and tradecraft – and apply them in context. They are modular by design and tailored to the audience. Every drill, teaching point, and block of instruction is meticulously selected. Our instructors are not paper tigers or blowhard egomaniacs. They are vetted professionals with significant, relevant experience. Open enrollment courses are listed below. We also schedule courses through private engagement. If you are interested in scheduling a custom course, please reach out to us.

Low Power Variable Optic (LPVO)

1-Day (8 hour) training course designed to improve your knowledge, skills, and abilities with a modern tactical carbine equipped with a Low Power Variable Optic (LPVO). Training includes both close quarters and medium distance combat shooting. Weapon manipulation, movement in a tactical environment, and positional/barricade shooting are core tenets of the course, but here these concepts are applied at both close and medium distances in order to take advantage of the unique capabilities the LPVO has to offer. A staple of the curriculum involves establishing “limited dope” for your individual reticle in increments out to 350 yards, then employing that DOPE at distance and in context. We will also discuss equipment setup and optimization with an eye towards mission-driven capabilities. LPVO Operator is an ideal training revolution for law enforcement officers or military personnel who employ LPVOs on duty, for example on patrol carbines, reconnaissance missions, or providing overwatch to tactical elements. Competitive shooters and responsibly armed citizens will also benefit from maximizing the capabilities of the platform.

LPVO Operator 2 is an advanced 1-Day (8 hour) course that builds directly on the foundation laid in LPVO Operator. This follow-on course reinforces key skills like weapon manipulation, positional shooting, and movement—but does so with increased intensity, added complexity, and more opportunities for applied learning. Students will use non-lethal training ammunition (NLTA) to engage threat targets inside a shoot house or CQB training environment, providing realistic context for decision-making and threat engagement with a magnified optic. The curriculum includes new drills, optional skill refinement, and a series of integrated culmination exercises that combine elements of marksmanship, movement, and optics-based problem solving under pressure. LPVO Operator 2 pushes students to not just use the LPVO effectively, but to fight with it. This course is available as a standalone 1-day follow-on for graduates of LPVO Operator, or it may be offered as part of a 2-day LPVO Operator package, combining both levels into a multi-day training event.

Patrol Designated Marksman is a flexible, agency-focused training program designed to equip law enforcement officers and agents with the skills required to perform in the Designated Marksman role using a tactical carbine equipped with a Low Power Variable Optic (LPVO). Drawing from the core LPVO Operator curriculum, this course is adapted to meet the specific operational needs of patrol officers, interdiction teams, and tactical elements. Class length and structure can be customized—ranging from one to three days—to accommodate department training schedules, with each version offering focused instruction on medium-range engagements, barricade and positional shooting, and optics-based threat identification. The course emphasizes practical drills relevant to real-world law enforcement scenarios, such as overwatch responsibilities, vehicle-based engagements, and barricaded subjects. Officers will also establish and apply “limited dope” for their individual optics out to 350 yards, ensuring repeatable accuracy in support of patrol or tactical operations. A non-LPVO version of this course is also available for agencies running red dot-equipped patrol rifles.

Tactical Carbine

1-day (8 hour) training course designed to improve your knowledge, skills, and abilities with a modern tactical carbine in a close quarters environment.
