Defensive Pistol Competition

The CCW Self-Defense Challenge

Staying sharp with a concealed firearm isn’t something you do once. Skills fade quickly without structured, realistic practice. The CCW Self-Defense Challenge is your ongoing defensive-pistol maintenance program — designed to keep you confident, capable, and ready for real-world threats.

This is not a classroom lecture. It’s a monthly, scenario-based defensive pistol competition built for responsible adults who want to stay prepared.

Watch this video to see a typical scenario. Good guy is engaged by multiple bad guys who have ambushed him and are demanding his wallet.

Why Ongoing Training Matters

Even elite performers need continuous tuning:

• Pro-Musicians practice with a tutor daily
• Pro-Race car drivers train with an instructor daily
• Pro-Ball players require constant coached practice

Defensive shooters are no different. If you carry a firearm for personal protection, you need regular, structured practice that tests your skills under pressure.

What the CCW Self-Defense Challenge Is

The CCW Challenge is a monthly defensive pistol competition that blends real-world scenarios, timed performance, and practical self-defense decision-making. It’s designed to keep your skills sharp long after you earn your permit.

This is a true competition — between you and your own abilities, and between you and the other shooters present. You’ll push your limits safely, learn from each string, and build confidence you can’t get from static range practice.

And yes — we provide free snacks and drinks for everyone.

How the Challenge Works

Each month, shooters run multiple scenarios, presented one at a time. You’ll visualize the situation — an ambush, a robbery, a sudden threat, or a coordinated attack — and then run it with live fire.

We supply the scenario. You must neutralize all threats before they neutralize you.

Each shooter is timed for:

• Draw to first shot
• Time to neutralize all threats

Scores are provided to each shooter as he completes each scenario.
