Just when I thought a Master Instructor certification signified achieving the highest level of defensive instructor development from Rangemaster, Tom Givens introduces the Professional Pistolcraft Instructor certification. Okay, then. Let’s do this.
Gabe White’s Technical Skills Tests consist of four renowned target drills, each with three levels of standards. The pins are highly regarded among armed self-defense practitioners, representing proficiency in technical skills beyond minimum competence.
