Block 3, also known as Application Under Stress, is designed to test your ability to perform under physical stress while upholding your defensive shooting skills. This block incorporates exercises such as, but not limited to, tire flips, sandbag deadlifts, air squats, pushups, etc. All these are intermixed with drills intended to test your shooting skills such as 9-hole barricades. In order to raise social stress all missed shots are punished by burpees. This is where you get to reap the rewards of the work you put into Blocks 1 and 2. Block 3 isn’t designed to knock you down, but rather show you what you are capable of.

This block is not about simulating real-world scenarios, but rather about developing the physical and mental fortitude necessary to handle high-pressure situations. It is important to note that Block 3 is not a class, but rather a chance to apply your skills in a dynamic and challenging environment.
