Advanced Training Alliance Force on Force 

Gun For Hire’s Invite Only Urban Course

Training doesn’t end when you can consistently hit the target. The next step is learning to make sound decisions under pressure, solve problems in real time, and perform when the outcome is uncertain.

Force-on-force training is widely regarded as one of the most valuable training experiences a responsible armed professional or legally armed citizen can participate in. It reveals how you react under stress, reinforces good habits, exposes weaknesses that static range training cannot, and builds confidence through experience.

Come prepared to learn, keep an open mind, and don’t be afraid to make mistakes. Every scenario is an opportunity to improve. The lessons learned during this course may be the most valuable training you ever receive because they develop your ability to think, communicate, and make sound decisions when it matters most.

Advanced Training Alliance (ATA) Force-on-Force Scenario Based Training is designed to bridge the gap between square-range marksmanship and the realities of defensive encounters. These scenarios will challenge your judgment, communication, movement, use of cover, threat identification, and decision-making in a safe, controlled environment.

Some scenarios will require you to use force, while others will require restraint. The objective is to develop critical thinking and sound tactics, not simply shooting. Expect elevated heart rates, time constraints, role players, and realistic environments that expose both strengths and areas for improvement.
