Viking 6 Tactical Brings Real-World Defensive Pistol Training to St. Albans, VT

Imagine this scenario:

You’re in a crowded public area, a farmers market, a festival, or maybe a community event. Without warning, chaos erupts. A threat appears. You have mere seconds to react. The noise, movement, and confusion make it hard to focus. In this moment, the decisions you’ve made about your firearm, your training, and your preparedness will determine the outcome.

Will your every day carry (EDC) pistol have the magazine capacity to handle multiple threats? Can you manage recoil well enough to maintain accuracy under stress? Do you have the skill to engage targets without endangering innocent people around you?

If you’re not sure, this is exactly why we train.

Defensive Pistol Training – September 27 & 28 $100

📍 Sportsman Club of Franklin County, hosted by Back Country Sports, St. Albans, VT

🗓 Saturday & Sunday

⏱ 2-hour range classes, limited to 6 participants per session

This hands-on course is designed to give you the skills and confidence to respond decisively in a real-world defensive encounter.

What You’ll Learn

• Drawing from the holster while maintaining weapon control and retention.

• Situational awareness during and after a defensive incident.

• Developing muscle memory to issue commands and respond under pressure.

• Shooting until the threat ends—no pre-set round counts.

• Engaging multiple targets while maintaining accuracy and control.

This is not a “stand and shoot” target practice session, it’s real-world training that pushes you to think, move, and shoot like you would in a true defensive situation.

Why This Training Matters

Magazine Capacity - If your EDC firearm only holds a few rounds, you may need to reload quickly, something that’s easier said than done when adrenaline is pumping and the situation is chaotic. A larger magazine gives you more chances to stop the threat without breaking focus.

Recoil Management - In a critical incident, fast follow-up shots can save lives. If recoil kicks your sights off target, your accuracy suffers. Training to manage recoil effectively lets you re-engage faster, hit more consistently, and keep control in the fight.

Accuracy Under Stress - In a crowded environment, a missed shot isn’t just ineffective, it could harm someone innocent. The right firearm fit, sight picture, and trigger control help ensure your rounds go exactly where they need to.

Test Your Gear – Test Yourself

This course also gives you the opportunity to find out if your EDC setup really works for you. You’ll learn whether your pistol, magazines, and ammunition meet your needs, or if it’s time to make changes.
