DEFINITION OF SUCCESS:
To quickly make ONE good FIRST decision based on visual stimuli & instantly act on it. Be confident, decisive, efficient, & explosive.

Image Based Decisional Drills is a well thought out dry practice or live fire exercise with a deck of 21 Image Cards (with and without additional "tools") that provide IMAGES that will help you to recognize danger and to make smart decisions ahead of time. Our image based learning system is another beneficial step on your way to making good decisions quickly.

There are very few dry practice or range exercises for the private citizen that focus on making lethal, less than lethal and non lethal decisions quickly. Our Image Based Decisional Drills are intended to fill in the gap in learning how to make decisions using images to provoke a response, decide which TOOL to use, and then ACT on that decision. From the time that a bad guy chooses you, you will have a very limited amount of time to make a decision. THEY choose how and when. Your actions need to be confident, quick and decisive.

In all scenarios the image is happening to YOU, in front of YOU, beside YOU or behind YOU. YOU are your first responder and decisions need to be made quickly.

People carry a lot of gear but gear does not solve the problem….YOU do.
Decisions are more important than techniques. Our goal in IBDD is to supply an avenue to learn good decision and provide some simple, yet very effective techniques. Please consider attending additional classes that can help strengthen your non lethal, less than lethal and lethal skills. IBDD focuses on good decisions and will give you an excellent place to practice new skills or sharpen new ones.
IMAGE BASED DECISIONAL DRILL OPTIONS: Start with ONE decision that you are confident and efficient in and work your way up to quick multi-layered decisions that all lead to effective person protection with ONE GOAL....your safety.
  1. Walk Away
  2. Verbal Commands
  3. Flashlight
  4. RUN
  5. OC/Pepper Spray
  6. Tourniquet
  7. Shoot = "Failure to Neutralize"
  8. 911

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.
  • IBDD 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.  
  • IBDD comes packed up in a bag and ready to travel.
  • IBDD 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 IBDD (within reason). 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.

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.

WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS WITH DR. SHERMAN HOUSE OF CIVILIAN DEFENDER.  Here is a BLOG that Brian wrote after we hosted Sherm's class in 2019.....we WILL be hosting him again and again!

Each Level 1 IBDD unit will include 21 (3.5 x 5.75) IMAGE CARDS. These cards are specifically designed to evoke a stimulus that you to act on.  There can be "one" answer to your IMAGE CARD or you can layer your actions as you get more comfortable making quick decisions in 5 seconds or under. Yes people, your heard me...this is LEVEL I of 3 LEVELS (scroll down).

Each IBDD comes with a PUSH BUTTON PHONE (prop) so if you decide to call 911, then you need to ACT ON THAT DECISION. Deep breath, get to your phone, call 911 by actually"pushing the buttons", give location, etc.

IBDD WILL HELP YOU WITH COGNITIVE STACKING AND STAYING IN THE PROCESS.
PRACTICING LIVE FIRE ON THE RANGE? Each IBDD will include a full roll of 1000 pasters!

PRACTICING DRY PRACTICE?  We HIGHLY recommend using the SIRT Training Pistol. The immediate feedback is priceless! Please go to Next Level Training to order one and use TCCSIRT coupon code for a discount.
​
Out of the 21 Image Cards there are many drills that you will have to decide between a lethal and nonlethal answer. If you choose to use your firearm as an answer, then you MUST NOT MISS. 100% accuracy is your goal = 2 to the body and 1 to the head.

Target: The more realistic the dimensions, and shape, are to a “human” the better. A 4 inch ocular cavity & 8 inch upper thoracic area would be optimal.

For the "newer shooter" we recommend using a "realistic" paper target where you can SEE YOUR HITS FOR IMMEDIATE FEEDBACK. For  the more skilled/advanced shooter we recommend an IDPA Cardboard Torso Target for IBDD (not included).   Cut out the 2 circles & now you have 2 NEGATIVE spaces in your target (4 inch ocular cavity & 8 inch upper thoracic area). Very quick & easy to see to see the location of your misses or to see 100% accuracy. Feel free to place the IDPA target over a regular paper target so you can receive IMMEDIATE FEEDBACK.
What am I going to carry all of this awesomeness in?? Have no fear!  We have 13x10 inch plastic zipper bags made of high-quality environmentally friendly plastic with mesh, water-resistant, mildew resistant and can take non-delicate handling.

It has a extended tab on the zipper for easy opening and closing, and has a pocket on the front to hold a few extra Image Based Decisional Drill business cards to pass out to your friends on the range.
We are listening! Over the last several months we have randomly reached out to customers who purchased IBDD and asked if they thought the 1000 Pasters in the IBDD KIT added value. It was unanimous, every person found the 1000 Pasters “ordinary”. EKKK Ghads! “Ordinary” is unacceptable so they have been replaced with 2 IBDD Cards featuring the 5X5 Challenge. Please COPY the original cards so you can practice this live fire dill over & over. It is unanimous once again, we are now “extraordinary”! WINNING!
