KODIAK - Handguns for Bear Defense
2026-05-31 18:00 - 21:00 | KISA Indoor Range – Kodiak, 8625 Monashka Bay Rd, Kodiak City, AK, 99615, United States
This course focuses on helping you build a personal process applicable to your context for effective bear defense with the handgun platform.
You’ll gain knowledge of what elements are necessary for bear defense, which calibers or ammo types are most successful, and what options offer you the best odds relative to your context.
Additionally, you’ll work to build or refresh a solid foundation as you focus on stance, grip, and how you manage recoil to place effective impacts under pressure.
In this course we detail safe holster presentations, strategic shot placement and establish why, we stress shooting angles, safe lanes of fire, situational awareness, and surgical precision, helping you become the most prepared line of defense for yourself and for those you love. Also covered are the state requirements for reporting DLP situations, and a strenuous course of fire to help you understand your boundaries when it comes to bear defense with the handgun platform.
Though other types of guns may be “better” for bear defense, we’re aware that handguns are the most carried bear defense option, and also the platform with the steepest learning curve. We’re looking forward to addressing this topic together and helping your existing handgun skillset advance to the next level making you more aware, and a more prepared defender. Enjoy peace of mind and a safer adventure season with this valuable knowledge on board!

Day 2: Upper Susitna Shooters Association, Talkeetna, 10am-6pm
Our Mid-range Practical Rifle course builds on what you learned in Intermediate Bolt or Carbine Rifle and brings you into the next tier of precision with your firearm platform. The goal is clear: develop your ability to send consistent, accurate groups from 100 to 600 yards under pressure and from less-optimal positions. As skills and equipment allow, many shooters extend to farther distances over time.
This mid-range rifle course fits hunters who seek assured and ethical shots, as well as target shooters who enjoy pushing limits or defenders looking to build confident, dependable performance under pressure. Above all, this course is designed for marksmen who prefer real-world skills over theory. You will apply proven techniques that strengthen shooting instincts and sharpen your understanding of optics and your firearm platform. As a result, each drill helps you read conditions with greater confidence. You learn not only how to shoot well, but also why your shots land where they do. That insight turns fundamentals into a repeatable, dependable skillset.
