Immersive Force Dynamics™
🔹 Sunday, November 16th, 2025 - 12 noon to 5 pm • Raynham, MA
Course cost: $159.00 pp - ALL INCLUSIVE! - NO ADDITIONAL FEES!
From the range to reality, Immersive Force Dynamics™ will guide you on how to fight, think, and win when it matters most.
When confronted with sudden violence, you don’t rise to the occasion; you fall back on your training. But most armed citizens and even many professionals are only exposed to static, square-range environments where paper and steel never think, move, or fight back. Real-world attacks are fast, chaotic, and merciless. They compress time, distance, and options into fractions of a second, forcing the brain to decide, move, and act without hesitation.
That is where high-fidelity reality-based simulation training steps in. Using defensive handguns converted to fire man-marking training ammunition, this immersive program exposes you to the most realistic defensive handgun training available outside of actual combat. Critical Dynamics constructs training scenarios that replicate the unpredictability of criminal assaults and violent encounters in a controlled, safe, but highly challenging environment.
This course draws directly from federal and state-level law enforcement and military reality-based training methodologies, providing you with access to the same principles that prepare elite professionals to prevail in high-stakes encounters. Unlike traditional marksmanship practice, this training immerses you in force-on-force scenarios against live, thinking adversaries who react, adapt, and resist... just like attackers in the real world.

The program is led by active, federally certified law enforcement instructors specializing in active shooter response and tactical counterterrorism.
