Description:

KÄGWERKS is a purpose built approach to firearms training developed around the brain's processes. Knowledge, attention, memory, working memory, judgment, evaluation, reasoning, computation, problem solving, decision making and above all, thorough comprehension are where understanding and improvement begins.

Description:

For those who are interested in the sport but are not sure if it is the right choice , this is the course for you! It will give you an in depth look at what it takes to compete and will provide you with a safe environment to ask questions, learn about safety and the gear required to compete, and prepare yourself for your first match when you are ready for it.

The purpose of this course is not to instruct a person on how to shoot their firearm, it is to offer an understanding of the game, cover rules and explain what is a DQ-able offense. Because basic firearm knowledge and safe manipulation of a firearm is required to compete, having new shooters come to the course with an unfamiliar firearm with less than 1000 rounds may slow down the course and cause safety issues.
