Welcome to EDTgrp

  • Each Training Session is broken up into three Components: SSE, PSE, and AUS. Each of these components focuses on skills that are necessary for all experience levels to stay proficient at. Respectively, these components work shooters on marksmanship fundamentals, movement and tactics, and stress testing all skills with physical and mental strain.
Component 1: Static Skills Exercise (SSE) | 0900-1030
Improve your "brilliance in the basics." Every shooter can grow in the fundamentals. There is no such thing as perfection... No scenarios or stages during SSE. The focus is entirely on tightening up your basic fundamentals and working to develop good presentation habits that will benefit you greatly when you add more practical skills to your training evolutions.

Component 2: Practical Skills Exercise (PSE) | 1130-1400
Take your training beyond the bench. Learn how to use your weapons platform in an environment that isn't always ideal... Each PSE will be broken down into two components. The first component will be all shooters reviewing a specific skill (example: shooting around a barricade). The second component will be a series of drills or stages that will give shooters the time to work the problem, figure out what works for them and what doesn't.

Component 3: Application Under Stress (AUS) | 1430-1700
The best way to improve is to push yourself to the point of failure. Test your Static and Practical Skills while under physical and mental strain. Each AUS component is broken up into 2-3 stages. Each stage is comprised of 1-3 physical challenges, 1 mental challenge, and a shooting challenge. Often these stages require moving and shooting.

What gear do I need to bring for Training Sessions?

  • Every EDT Training Session is designed be completed with pistol, rifle or both. Every shooter has a slightly different goal in mind. Some are only interested in increase familiarity with weapons in general, others are preparing for the worst case scenario, and everything in between.
  • Each component, drill, and stage is designed to be shot with the weapons system that you bring. Our advice is to pick one setup and train with it for several training sessions before you start changing things up. Consistency is king when it comes to shooting. Once we’ve helped you identify any deficiencies in gear we can address them then. The brutal truth is that 99% of the time it is our lack of skill, rather than our gear that messes us up (Instructors included).
  • Please make sure you show up with all required gear, ready to train. See you on the range.
