Full description and what we offer

Intuitive Defense takes the "sucks" out of firearms training. Gun ownership and self-defense aren't just serious—they can be engaging and competitive without cutting corners on safety or fundamentals.

Instead of typical drills, Intuitive Defense created NOOB (available free to download). It's a competitive range game designed around:

  • 40+ customizable shooting challenges with specific tasks, conditions, and standards
  • Multi-player format that works solo or in groups
  • Skill-based difficulty that scales from beginner to advanced
  • Focus on fundamentals: trigger control, sight alignment, weapon manipulation, movement under pressure
  • Video library: 44 season episodes showing challenges in action, plus coaching breakdowns for failures

The challenges have names like Blind Fury, Elevator Down, London Bridge, and Under the Covers—each targeting specific shooting and manipulation skills. Challenges are organized into two difficulty tiers:

Challenge TypeMax RoundsPurpose
Regular Challenges3 per challengeCore shooting fundamentals
N.S.T.I.W. (No Shit There I Was)6 per challengeScenario-based problem solving

Tag @IntuitiveDefense when you play NOOB. They actively engage with shooters using the system and welcome feedback for improvements.

Hybrid Handgun 1 covers foundational pistol skills. Hybrid Handgun 2 is the advanced course—an 8-11 hour intensive for shooters who've completed Handgun 1 or equivalent training.

  • Survival mindset and use-of-force decision-making
  • Legal considerations for armed self-defense
  • Pistol operation, sights, equipment selection
  • Stance, grip, draw, sight picture, trigger control
  • Reloads (combat, administrative, tactical)
  • Malfunction diagnosis and correction
  • One-handed shooting (injured shooter scenarios)
  • Multiple targets and threat assessment
  • Point shooting and cover/concealment
  • Movement while engaging

Approximately 1,136 rounds of live fire across ~29 courses of fire (or 771 rounds in the low-count alternative).

  • Duration: 8-11 hours (includes breaks and lunch)
  • Group Size: 1-5 participants (faster pacing, smaller groups)
  • Prerequisites: Must complete Hybrid Handgun 1 or equivalent training first (proof required)

New to pistols? No problem. Intuitive Defense rents:

  • Pistols for hands-on training experience before buying
  • Equipment (holsters, pouches, accessories)
  • Ammunition in 100-round increments or full course loadouts (FMJ)
  • "John Wick Experience": Shoot multiple pistol types, including red dot equipped guns, at the end of your course

This lets you test-drive firearms and find what works for you before dropping money at a gun store.

The biggest difference between a new shooter and an advanced shooter is that the advanced shooter has a more effective and efficient understanding and implementation of the basic shooting and weapons manipulation fundamentals.

Intuitive Defense doesn't overcomplicate things. They refine your foundation so you accomplish more in less time.
