This 2 day class is for the intermediate to advanced shooter who is looking to up their shooting game! Come prepared to shoot a lot, get tons of 1:1 feedback, break down crucial practical shooting skills, and learn how stage plan and execute on demand! There are only 10 slots available for each of these classes, and we only plan to run a few of these per year. If you've been looking to take the next step to level up, this is the class for you!
NOTE: This class will require a minimum of a USPSA B classification OR EQUIVALENT. If you don't have a classification, please reach out directly to discuss. This is a fast-moving, advanced class, and everyone will be expected to keep up. For a deep dive on fundamentals and introduction to practical shooting, please refer to our Performance Pistol class.
REFUND POLICY: Refunds will only be given if Gateway Defense has to cancel a class. No refund will be given due to a student being unable to attend. A full class credit will be issued for a future Gateway Defense class by notifying brennan@gateway-defense.com no less than 14 days prior to the class date.
