The day includes purpose-driven drills designed to help you refine your technique and self-diagnose any issues in real-time. By the end of the session, you’ll have a deep understanding of AIWB carry fundamentals and the tools to troubleshoot and improve your draw technique for ongoing success.
Day 2: Red Dot Optics for Peak Performance
Red dot optics have become popular for concealed carry, offering precision and speed. Day 2 of the course hones your proficiency with red dot-equipped pistols, ensuring you can maximize their benefits in defensive scenarios.
You’ll start by learning to zero your red dot sight for accurate shots at various distances. Once calibrated, the focus shifts to quickly acquiring the dot during the draw. Scott “Jedi” Jedlinski’s guidance will help you master finding the dot consistently under stress.
You’ll also develop skills for engaging targets at close and long ranges and learning techniques to maintain control of the dot in any scenario. Scott’s expertise in close-quarters and long-range engagements ensures you’ll gain a well-rounded skill set.

For those looking to push themselves further, Day 3 offers an ambitious challenge: earning the coveted Black Belt Patch under Scott “Jedi” Jedlinski’s expert mentorship. This patch is awarded only to those who meet strict speed, accuracy, and consistency standards.
On Day 3, you’ll tackle drills like the renowned 3 x 2 drill and the Bill Drill, designed to test your ability to engage targets rapidly and accurately. You’ll fine-tune your marksmanship at varying distances, striving to deliver consistent, time-constrained shots.
