ZERT Carbine Skill Builder – July 30th, 2023 – Autryville, NC

The goal of the ZERT Weapons Training program is to train and educate ZERT members to become proficient in the rapid and effective deployment of firearms for the purposes of personal defense, home defense, and defense of others in situations that warrant the justifiable use of deadly force. ZERT members will be conditioned to enhance their combat mindset as they continue to build their firearms proficiency and increase their skill levels through a series of courses that become progressively more difficult and challenging as they advance.

COMBAT MINDSET: An attitude of awareness, confidence, and purpose — awareness of the situation, confidence in our physical skills, and clarity of our legal and ethical purpose. Whether it happens consciously or not, all physical actions begin in the mind. Courage, determination, perseverance, and controlled aggression allow you to INSTANTLY turn your training into physical application. Combat mindset trumps technique. In a combat situation – YOU MUST WIN THE FIGHT, NO MATTER WHAT. Your life (or death) will depend on it.
