Exciting new program for tourists

General introduction:

This activity is geared to all tourists of any age who would like to learn about anti terrorism tactics. Experts in anti terrorism combat will teach how terrorism is fought, how to shoot a pistol and give hands on experience for all participants in shooting a weapon. All this can be experienced at the Gush Etzion, Caliber 3 Shooting Range located in Gush Etzion.

The Program:

 1. A seven minute lecture about anti terrorism tactics will be given by one of our expert combat fighters.

2. There will be a very impressive 15 minute show of the fighting and shooting skills our instructors use in combat.

3. We continue with a very organized 30 -45 minute lesson in how to shoot in an anti terrorism attack.

4. And we conclude our time together with a 30-45 minute session of live shooting with weapons provided by us and one on one instruction, an experience not to be missed by even the youngest participants. Of course we practice very high standards of safety precautions at our shooting range.

We also have at our shooting range, paintball activities available for families, friends, birthday parties or for whatever reason you choose.

Remarks:

At our program we combine together the values of Zionism with the excitement and enjoyment of shooting which makes the activity more meaningful. The contact with real soldiers who have experienced anti terrorism fighting means that everything shown and taught is authentic.

From our familiarity with this program the participants have a very different and special encounter that can not be experienced anywhere else except  on the battle field.

The programs available in Hebrew or in English.

Caliber 3

Since 2000, Caliber 3 has trained laymen and professionals (including the IDF) in security and counterterrorism techniques.
This Gush Etzion range is one of the few places in Israel where tourists are permitted to fire guns. That makes its 2-hour courses for tourists incredibly popular, even though they aren’t exactly a walk at the beach:

Don’t worry: you aren’t expected to run an obstacle course, but there is some running back and forth, yelling, and briskly paced team competition with lots of surprises.
Stick it out and you’ll be rewarded with the chance to fire a Ruger (too heavy!) and an M16.
They’ll even serve you lunch. (This is Israel; food is VERY important.)
Definitely one of the highlights of my trip.
(P.S.: Remember to wear long pants, and leave the flip flops at home. Ask permission about whom and what you can film and photograph.)
Our trainer was Steve Gar (below), an impressive guy originally from South Africa. Besides being a weapons expert, he is studying to be a rabbi and he works with special needs youth (one of whom served as Steve’s range assistant). Sorry, ladies — Gar’s married (to a Toronto girl!).
