| A unique training concept, developed by Dr. Charles Pewitt, Jackson, Missouri, provides area law enforcement officers and other professionals with a realistic platform for practicing combat shooting skills in the combat environment. The Combat environment is a different world from the marksmanship shooting, where sight alignment, sight picture and trigger control may not be luxury available to the shooter, Dr. Pewitt's Course builds on the need for the combat shooter to be able to shoot accurately, from different body positions, under the stress of elevated blood pressure and heart rate of the combat environment, and coordinated effort required in the team evolutions. Beardslee Training Site is proud to be affiliated with Dr. Pewitt's facility, and will provide a point of contact for shooters who want to run the course. Any individual officers, tactical teams or other groups interested in participating in this innovative training evolution, are encouraged to call 573-450-3221 to discuss the details. When you call, mention The Farm. We will take it from there. |

THE FARM Training site, is located
| THE FARM Training Site is located on 600 acres in the rough back country of Bollinger County. In addition to the combat course the site includes rifle challenges of 200, 250 and 500 meters, it also includes forested hills for small unit tactics with water obstacles. On the site are a fully functioning flat range with auxiliary lighting, and a lake for water-borne maneuvers. The facility can be adapted to the agency's needs. Plans for 2012 include the construction of a rappelling tower, and possibly a live-fire shoot house. |

Take a short run to the
duelling trees to get the
heart rate and blood
pressure up, add a few
malfunctions with snap
caps in the magazines,
and the competitive spirit
of the shooters, and you
have an exercise that

The interactive star plate

that requires thinking

shooter does not wind
up with the last plate out

Multiple targets and
varied distances,
engaged with multiple
weapons, requires
shooters to transition
from primary shoulder
weapon to secondary
handgun to complete the
exercise. As with most
stations, shooting against
another shooter provides
its own stress of
competition.
