STRATEGIES AND STANDARDS BOOK UPDATE
John and Karl recently updated some of the material in their Strategies and Standards for Defensive Handgun Training book, including adding a new appendix discussing red dot sights. Those that bought the e-book automatically got the update. If you bought a print copy, you can download a PDF with the updated Top 10 Drills and red dot appendix by clicking this link.
DISABLED PARKING AT THE A-ZONE
KR Training can accommodate physically handicapped people in most of our classes. Our training building is single story and has wide doors so wheelchairs can easily maneuver in and out of our classroom. Our range is flat. We have had a Wounded Warrior in a wheelchair in some of our classes and currently train a person that has to use a cane. Please don’t think being mobility impaired will prevent you from learning in our classes. Contact us for additional information.

We look forward to training you!
Karl, Penny and the KR Training team
