Stones River National BattlefieldA.C.E - The Outpost Armory
This two-day training blends performance pistol skills with an in-depth look at tactical anatomy in a fully immersive 360 degree environment. Participants explore how stress affects the body and mind, including reaction time and processing speed, then use that knowledge to make faster, smarter tactical decisions. A complementary medical block builds life-saving capabilities for the moments after an armed encounter, drawing on elements of the Guardian Medical Essentials curriculum to address traumatic injuries that could affect the defender or someone close to them. By the end, students work toward two goals, placing anatomically effective shots with speed and precision to stop a threat, and delivering medical care once the immediate danger is resolved. The course culminates in live-fire problem solving that pairs timed shooting with accurate medical interventions, followed by a realistic force-on-force scenario that uses live role players to reinforce the integration of both skill sets. This is not a beginner class. Prior pistol instruction from a reputable source is required, and attendees must already be able to draw safely, move, and think through problems in a dynamic setting. A skills assessment begins the live-fire portion, and proof of previous training may be requested. No prior medical certification is required. Plan to bring a pistol or revolver, a holster that allows one-handed draws with no Serpa models, three magazines or appropriate speed loaders or strips for a revolver, a sturdy belt with magazine pouches, eye and ear protection, durable clothing and footwear, a hat, a jacket, gloves for scenarios, a notepad and pen, and an individual trauma kit. Training medical supplies are provided, and personal kits can be reviewed on request. Expect to fire about 350 rounds of dependable ammunition. The program runs for 16 hours across two days with a one hour lunch each day. A daily range fee is required per student and is paid directly to the TOA staff. The training takes place at The Outpost Armory. All tuition sales are final and cannot be refunded or transferred if a student cancels or does not attend. If Personal Survival Solutions cancels, a refund or credit toward a future class will be offered, and limited exceptions may be considered on a case by case basis.
