Close Protection

There is a growing call for Close Protection Tactical Firearms training in a forever changing world. It is very difficult to train with firearms in the UK many people are going to Europe for it. Not even we can get large calibre weapons to train with, but we do have a range of small bore rifles which are as identical to the full bore version as is necessary to “pick it up & go”.

Close Protection (also known as Bodyguard) is where weapons are carried to ensure the safety and security of their clients.

Close protection is a specialised field of security focused on providing personal protection to individuals, including high-profile personalities, government officials, celebrities, or anyone facing potential threats to their safety.

If you are in a situation where you come under gun fire, you most likely won’t have a gun to shoot back. However, if you obtain one, how do you use it? How do you quickly deal with a jam, mag change? Where is the safety? In this situation, speed saves lives, you need to know the weapon you just picked up. You need to know how to drop the mag & quickly insert another, you need to know how to cock the rifle. It all looks so easy in the films, but I can assure you that under stress it becomes more difficult.

Spend a day training with us, we will take you from beginner to running a practical course with different rifles (SIG, AR15, MP5, AK47, UZI). We will go over & over the mag change (sounds boring, but getting it done quickly or in the dark could be a game changer). We will teach you how to move quickly with a loaded rifle, how to drop the magazine & load a new one, how to hit the target from multiple positions.

Being able to shoot is one thing, but shooting the right target is essential. We have a bank of turning targets, they will turn & you have the split second decision – shot or not to shoot. We will also load two targets, a goodie & a baddie, when the target turns you need to hit the right one.

We will also train with blank firing, air or BB pistols. We can’t make the real thing available to you, but blanks give the same impression. Quick draw, insert mag, cock. It’s not difficult, but you might not have time to examine the pistol you just picked up, you need it ready to shoot straight away.

We will get you up to speed.
