TACTICAL FLASHCARD BENEFITS:
  • Visual cueing, pre-need decision making, tool cycling, distance management, and strategy changes that can be practiced on the range.
  • Pressure testing under realistic time constraints with feedback for improvement.
  • Image Based Decisional Drills can be beneficial ON or OFF the range. The actual mechanics of shooting can be practiced separately while the IBDD drills will help with tool handling and selection, therefore a BLUEGUN, plastic trainer, or SIRT Training Pistol is a suitable substitute.
  • You can work with IBDD solo or with a group.  
  • Image Based Decisional Drills come packed up in a bag and ready to travel.
  • Image Based Decisional Drills is very easy to set up and very easy to take down.
  • Using a BLUEGUN, plastic trainer, or SIRT Training Pistol? You can also designate a small section in your house, garage, basement, etc. and leave it up.  
  • All ages are welcome to take part in Image Based Decisional Drills (within reason). We recommend you consider ages 13 and above. Age will change the availability of suitable tools, but will still help with the decisions concerning available strategies. Image cards that would provoke a “shoot” decision would turn into escape or run decisions. If your child would have to make personal protection decisions alone, then choose suitable cards for their environment or possible scenarios.
  • All levels of experience are welcome. The benefits are the same for everybody. The more experience you have, the more "tools" can be introduced. If you have training in additional areas of self protection like jacks, saps, movement, edged weapons, etc. then add these to your scenario. Also, your cognitive stacking may be quicker and easier so challenge yourself! Please make note that "movement" is an advanced skill and we do not recommenced you turn, "step off the line", "J" step, run, leave the "X", walk away, etc. when training with a live firearm.
  • We encourage you to join the Image Based Decisional Drills Facebook Page. This is a friendly page to ask questions, get feedback and open up discussions.

​It is very important to continue your “good decisions” training. One way is to simply read my short articles that are published monthly in Shooting Illustrated and Women’s Outdoor News (WON). I also have articles published with USCCA, NRA and more. My articles focus on “everything BUT the gun”. I have placed all my articles (links to articles and videos) in one spot so they are easy to find.

We currently have 2 (two) "stores". Not the most convenient way to sell/purchase but they are both FULL of awesome The Complete Combatant, Image Based Decisional Drills, and Smart Choices items so please visit BOTH!   


HUMMMMMMM, is that an awesome STREAMLIGHT Microstream Flashlight from HK??? Well, yes....YES IT IS!

BIG thank you to Dr. Sherman House for partnering with The Complete Combatant on SIMPLE STEPS TO APPLY A TOURNIQUET. This laminated handout has been in circulation for a while now and will be included in our Image Based Decisional Drill (tourniquets NOT included or needed for IBDD). We see great value in helping as many people as possible familiarize themselves with SIMPLE STEPS TO APPLY A TOURNIQUET. This IN NO WAY takes the place of professional Medical Training. This is just a simple guide to introduce you to a life saving skill.
