Basic Drill: Introductory Tactical Training in Orlando

Make split-second decisions under pressure in lifelike tactical scenarios

The Basic Drill is a 90-minute introductory tactical training experience at Decision Tactical in Orlando where you learn firearm safety and shooting technique, then apply those skills in two immersive scenario missions with a live instructor. The experience includes professional coaching, a simulated shooting range with non-lethal equipment, survival tactics instruction, and a competition course. It's designed for all skill levels and ages 12 and up.

The experience

Decision Tactical, Orlando's first tactical theme park, walks you through the fundamentals before you step into the scenarios. You start with professional coaching on handgun handling and firearm safety, then move to the simulated shooting range where you'll use realistic, non-lethal equipment to practice techniques traditional ranges don't teach: drawing from a holster, angled shooting, and engaging targets while moving. The instructor guides you through each step, so you're building real skills, not just firing at paper.

Once you've got the basics down, you apply what you learned in one of two hyper-realistic scenario tracks: competition courses, home invasion, diner encounters, or mall situations. You'll identify threats, use cover, communicate with a partner, and make decisions fast while under pressure. Between scenarios, the instructor teaches practical survival tactics like how to disarm a threat or apply a tourniquet. The competition course tests your speed and accuracy as you navigate obstacles and take down targets.

The whole experience runs 90 minutes and stays fully safe: no live fire, no VR gear, no projectiles. You're working with a live instructor the entire time, so the pace matches your group and questions get answered on the spot. The facility is wheelchair accessible, and it's built for all fitness levels, so whether you're a first-timer curious about tactical training or someone looking for something completely different, the Basic Drill gives you a real taste of what the full program offers.
