Tactical Firearms Academy is a staunch advocate for safe and responsible gun ownership. We believe CWP holders should be held to a proficiency standard and be required to demonstrate that proficiency similar to the requirements placed on law enforcement and armed security personnel. To this end we have developed CTS – Conditions, Tasks and Standards.
We have developed the CTS criteria for the three major disciplines: pistol, rifle, shotgun and now require students to demonstrate their proficiency in order to train with TFA. Listed below are the CTS requirements for each of the disciplines.
Load out: Three (3) magazines with 5 rounds in each
Conditions: One (1) 12″x16″ target at 12 yards. A no-shoot target is placed behind the primary target.
Tasks: From the draw engage the target with 5 rounds from a standing position, 5 rounds from a kneeling position and 5 rounds from a standing position – in that order.
Standards: Target must be engaged with a minimum 13 hits, within the established par time of 16 sec without hitting the hostage target in the background. Must pass twice in a row or 3 out of 5 attempts.
Load out: 10 rounds of birdshot, 2 rounds of slug ammunition
Conditions: Two (2) 6″x 6″ targets at 10 yards left and (2) 6″x 6″ targets right. The 2 sets are 10 yards apart, one (1) 12″x18″ target at 40 yards in the center.
Tasks: Shotgun loaded cruiser ready with 4 or 3 rounds of birdshot, remaining rounds on your body. Engage each 6″x6″ target with one birdshot each, perform a slug exchange and engage the 18″x24″ target, re-engage the 6″x6″ targets with one birdshot each. Reload and repeat the drill. Note: Slugs rounds may not be pre-loaded.
