Course Overview

This 3-day, 30-hour immersive experience focuses on the full spectrum of Close Quarters Tactics (CQT) and Active Threat Response — combining individual and team-level movement, threat recognition, physical performance, and decision-making in confined spaces.

The curriculum is broken into three integrated phases:

🔹 Phase 1 – Fundamentals of CQT Tactics
You’ll build the foundation of how to navigate and dominate close quarters environments with a carbine and pistol. Topics include:

• Room entries and solo/team movement

• Maintaining situational awareness under stress

• Communication and coordination with teammates and authorities

• Establishing dominance and retaining the upper hand in lethal force scenarios

🔹 Phase 2 – Hard Skills: Fitness & Marksmanship
On Day 2, students will report to Tactical Cowboy Headquarters for a team-based workout focused on fitness under stress, coordination, and physical accountability.
Following the workout, we’ll transition to the shooting range to push close quarters marksmanship with both rifle and pistol — focusing on speed, precision, transitions, and delivering under pressure.

👉 Bring 300 rounds each for pistol and carbine, with at least 3 magazines per platform.

🔹 Phase 3 – Advanced Scenarios & Force-on-Force
Once the core skills are set, we escalate. Students will:

• Engage in multi-threat and friendly rescue scenarios

• Be placed in high-stress, real-time decision-making drills

• Execute dynamic maneuvers during force-on-force exercises

• Be evaluated on threat ID, communication, movement, and effective action under pressure

Every evolution is designed to solidify your ability to think and act decisively in a real-world critical incident.
