Boone County Sheriff Department is proud to host Yavapai Firearms Academy Ltd. for a variety of firearm courses this summer. (These courses will be Indiana law Enforcement Training Board Certified.) The classes are as follows:
Submachine gun

The submachine gun course is limited to law enforcement and military personnel and those with a specific need to attend only. Contact Sheriff Campbell as to these details.

Due to the nature of the use of the gun, the course emphasizes team tactics. Topics include mode and selection of firing cycle, use of the sling, shooting from various tactical body positions, shooting on
the move, moving targets, loading, unloading and reloading, transition to a secondary weapon and team drills.

Ammunition requirement is 1000 rounds, 800 for the sub gun, 200 for pistol

Price for 2-day course: $350

Carbine Instructor-

This course will be geared towards 70% instructional material and 30% live shooting. Topics will include: principles of marksmanship, target reading, weapon maintenance, explanation of the weapon and
accoutrements, how to run a firing line -lead instructor and coaches, zeroing the weapon, dim light and night shooting problems (explained during daylight hours - no live night fire), transitions (including pistol draw stroke and live fire), shooting on the move,
one-handed/weak-handed manipulation, barricades, prone, sitting and unconventional shooting positions.

Ammunition requirement: 260 carbine, 100 pistol

Tactical Handgun - Stage I –
Designed to create reflexive gun handling, good marksmanship and tactical thinking, this course encompasses shooting from a ready position, the draw stroke and shooting from the holster, shooting from various tactical body positions, loading, unloading and reloading, malfunction clearances, shooting on the move, moving targets, dim light and flashlight shooting and weapon retention.

Ammunition requirement is 500 rounds.
Course Fee is $450.

Tactical Handgun - Stage II–
This course starts by assuming the student is capable of performing all exercises done in the Stage I course ON DEMAND. After a brief review, the course continues by compounding the problems encountered in the Stage I class, adding such elements as target angles, vital zone definition under stress, one-handed acquisition and operation, increased speed and longer distances. Stage I Handgun is a prerequisite to this course.

Ammunition requirement is 800 rounds.
Course Fee is $450.

Tactical Shotgun - Stage I –
As with the Stage I Handgun, this course is designed to create reflexive gun handling, good marksmanship and tactical thinking. In addition it places strong emphasis on learning what the shotgun will, and most particularly WILL NOT, do. The importance of patterning the shotgun properly is discussed at length. The course also covers ammunition selection, loading and unloading, reloading and ammunition selection while involved in a shooting scenario, shooting from several ready positions and various tactical body positions, dim-light and flashlight shooting, shooting on the move, moving targets, multiple targets and weapon retention.
Handgun is required for the transition training. Sling is mandatory for this course. Light mount on gun is advisable, but not required.

Course Fee is $450.
Tactical Carbine-Pistol –
This course concentrates on the use of the carbine and pistol as a total complementary weapons system. Targets will dictate decision-making thought processes as they pertain to the use of both weapons in specific scenarios, and the ability to smoothly and rapidly transition from one weapon to the other will be emphasized.
Either iron sights or low magnification optical sights are applicable. Sling is mandatory for the weapon and a light mount is advisable.
Ammunition requirement is 400 carbine, 300 handgun.
Course Fee is $450.
