PISTOL FOUNDATIONS

LEvel 1

The curriculum is designed to equip students with the knowledge and skills necessary to utilize a pistol properly and effectively.

Topics will range from gear selection, carry considerations, and of course all fundamentals of practical shooting (Grip, Vision, and Trigger). Participants will also gain insights into higher level concepts such as multiple targets and movement.

Even if you think you have experience, from your local gun range, friends and family, NRA or USCCA instruction, I GUARANTEE you will not only learn something new, but will come of this class a MUCH MORE proficient shooter and the knowledge to continue training on your own.

You'll learn how to properly draw from various holsters, build a proper grip to minimize recoil, the importance of vision, and of course accuracy at various distances . You'll also get comfortable shooting faster than you thought possible.

PERFORMANCE PISTOL

LEVEL 2

This is an "advanced" handgun class. I put advanced in quotes because the concept of "advanced" is honestly, a fallacy.

Advanced pistol shooting is really just combining the fundamentals, with speed, under stress.

This class will prepare you for competition shooting as well as self defense in real life scenarios. Both require speed and accuracy, under stress.

Pistol Foundations is a prerequisite for this class, however, you may be able to bypass that pre-requisite with proof of prior training from a vetted instructor.

Course Outline:

  • Weapon manipulation within contact distances

  • Maintain accuracy while moving in any direction

  • Accurately and efficiently engage multiple targets

  • Perform contact shots safely and effectively

  • Determine potential reactionary time based on distance and threat type

  • Determine the type of sight picture necessary based on target distance and size

  • Apply point or precision based on target distance, size, and time

  • Advanced skill building exercises combining movement, shooting, and accuracy with time constraints to evaluate existing abilities

RIFLE FOUNDATIONS

LEVEL 1

This an "introductory level course" HOWEVER, even those with rifle experience will find the class informative.

You will learn how to PROPERLY mount, aim, manipulate, and fire your rifle in close quarters, around cover, and at distance. You will also learn how to shoot accurately at speed.
