Our flagship 2 day class was designed for the shooter who is ready to take their performance to the next level. Whether you are a responsible armed citizen with a focus on defensive shooting, or a budding competition shooter, this class is for you! Shooting in any context requires us to be both fast and accurate. You simply cannot have one without the other. In this class we will start by doing a deep dive into the fundamentals of shooting. We will build a solid, principle-based foundation on day 1, and then learn how to apply those fundamentals to more complex shooting problems on day 2. 
 
Topics Covered
The fundamentals of grip, sight management, and trigger control
Stance, recoil management, and faster splits
Practical accuracy from 5 yards 25 yards +
Visual confirmation levels: identifying and applying the correct sighting solution for targets of any given size/distance
OWB draw: consistently finding the dot on the draw, and applying efficiency principles to execute the infamous “scoop” draw on both competition and level 1 retention holsters
Target transitions: targets at varying distances and sizes, close and wide transitions 
Movement: entries and exits, blending positions, shooting on the move
Hit Factor scoring: how to utilize HF to properly measure both speed and accuracy and strike the best balance of both
 
NOTE: while beginner shooters will definitely benefit from this class, this SHOULD NOT be your first training class. Students will be required to have comprehensive understanding of gun safety, be able to work out of a holster safely, and be able to hit an A-zone or 8” circle on demand from 10 yards with no time limit.
