Objectives Will Be Achieved with a Strong Emphasis on Safety

MOAC

The Muhlenberg Police Department will be hosting OpSpec Training for their acclaimed course M.O.A.C. From August 28- September 1st.

MOAC is a five-day, 40 hour, high round count pistol course designed to take the intermediate shooter and provide them with the tools to become an advanced or expert shooter. OpSpec Training alumni frequently request a long-duration program – building upon our flagship two-day Practical Fundamentals program – designed to enforce and develop persistent, durable skills. MOAC develops these skills through repetition and process oriented marksmanship.

MOAC – a.k.a Mother of all Classes – has an maximum enrollment of 16 students to ensure an appropriate student-to-instructor ratio. The class utilizes steel targets to maximize training time. Prior to the start of class, students should have completed OpSpec Training’s Practical Fundamentals class or have attended an equivalent trigger control-based program from another training organization within the past 36 months. If you have the training experience, solid gun-handling skills, and can draw from the holster and reliably hit an 8-inch target from 5 yards in under 1.5 seconds you meet the prerequisites for this advanced program.

Course Objectives

Objectives will be achieved with a strong emphasis on safety.

Cultivating the ability to solve practical and tactical marksmanship problems with trigger control and marksmanship ability.
Understanding the “percentage goal” as it applies to the use of sights in high speed marksmanship.
Understanding “road map” applications as they convert to durable skill in high speed marksmanship.
Understanding “goal setting” in high speed marksmanship during saturation training.
Cultivating the ability to score multiple fast hits at distances from near contact to 50 yards.
Understanding extensive strong hand and weak hand only shooting and the relationship to high speed marksmanship.

Required Equipment

Pistol in one of the following calibers: 9MM, .40S&W, .357 SIG, or .45 ACP

Kydex belt or paddle holster
A minimum of six magazines
Some safe means to carry magazines, on your person, to recharge your firearm four times (e.g. four magazine carriers/pouches)

Cleaning and maintenance supplies for daily pistol maintenance
Small first aid kit

Additional Tips

Ensure you wear and bring clothing appropriate for the weather. Even when shooting indoors, ranges can be cold. Dress in layers so you can remove or add them as conditions change. Jeans, BDUs, or canvas type pants are recommended. Shooting outdoors? Prepare for warm sunny conditions and overcast cool conditions. Bring sunscreen, lip balm and insect repellent. Bring a baseball cap, wide-brimmed hat or stocking cap as appropriate. No sandals, tank tops, or other sleeveless shirts permitted.

You should bring water to the range. Make it easy for you to hydrate yourself during the day. It’s a good idea to pack a few of protein or power bar snacks.
