How does JB Training provide Reality-based training?

Many shooting schools will teach you how to shoot. Some of them will teach you to shoot under conditions of stress. We do this as well but we also take you to the next level.

We have four specific courses that provide as much realism as possible without using real ammunition. Our three Force-on-Force courses provide you with an opportunity to face real people who are armed and will be trying to shoot, stab, or club you. They may shoot first sometimes and usually shoot back. They move and are trying to keep from getting shot themselves. In many of the drills and exercises you will start out in a reactive mode, rather than a proactive mode. When you are being assaulted that is how the engagement is likely to begin.Training with live ammunition on a flat range does not provide this experience. 

The guns we use in our Force-on-Force course are Air soft semi-automatic pistols that shoot 6MM plastic pellets. These pistols are realistic in size, weight and function. The pellets sting when they hit you. For safety sake we provide full face masks to protect the face, ears and neck from being hit.The pellets sting when they hit your clothing so you will know you are being hit. 

One more realism based course is our Shoot/No shoot video scenario course. In this course you will use a real pistol equipped with a laser insert that fires a laser beam when the trigger is pulled. You face a screen where video images are projected. You will see a variety of situations that you might be faced with in your life. Some of them require you to draw your pistol, issue commands and perhaps pull the trigger. Other scenarios are no shoot situations in which the use of lethal force would not be appropriate. Debriefings after each scenario will help the student understand their actions and what other courses of action were available to you. Many police departments now provide this type of training to their officers.
