Advance your decision-making, movement, and response under pressure.
Home Defense Mastery is PracTac’s advanced-level simulated home defense class for participants who already have a strong foundation in firearm safety and handling and are ready for faster-paced, more independent scenario training.
In this class, you’ll move through more advanced scenarios inside an expanded shoothouse environment with live roleplaying intruders. With limited instructor guidance, you’ll apply your training more independently while benefiting from expert review and feedback. The focus isn’t just whether you can move or engage a target; it’s whether you can think clearly, assess what’s happening, and make sound decisions under pressure.
