This class is specifically designed to help students improve their draw from the appendix location.

 Appendix carry has become very popular and when done correctly is extremely safe and can be as fast or faster than strong side hip carry. This class will utilize your own equipment so be sure to review the list below. Maxon Holster Skills Level 3 is the culmination of our holster skills series and students will shoot a final class qualification and receive a completion certificate.
