2-Day Level-Up Performance Pistol
This course is great for anyone wanting to get faster, and more accurate in any practical shooting context. This is not a "competition-only course" in the sense that will not spend a bunch of time going over competition rules, divisions, or skills that are totally competition-specific. We will however use USPSA-style stages as our testing ground for the skills that we develop in class, and will also review stage planning in depth. I believe stage planning and visualization skills are crucial for any shooter who wants to be elite, as these skills are required to establish accurate consistent baselines when evaluating techniques.
Primary Areas of Instruction Include
- Fundamentals deep dive, emphasis on grip, trigger control and vision.
- The formulas of speed and accuracy on targets of varying difficulty including differing aiming schemes and trigger control technique. (This culminates in the Billy Drill Standards with a chance for the Speed Up & Get Your Hits patch).
- The Draw Stroke, including a discussion of the scoop vs snatch draw, and Billy's hybrid draw.
- Advanced Target Transitions including blending transition styles through targets of differing difficulties, and correct prioritizing of speed vs. accuracy on target arrays.
- Stage Planning.
- Efficient movement between and through shooting positions.
- Shooting on the Move
IMPORTANT: This class is not intended for beginners, and should not be your first training class. It is critical that students have already built sub-conscious competence with firearms safety and have a firm grasp on the fundamentals of marksmanship. To give an example of recommended skill level, students should have a draw time of below 2 seconds and be able to consistently get A-zone hits at 15 yards. This class is designed to help shooters hone and take an existing skill-set to the next level.
Basic Gear List:
- OWB holster and mag pouches or competition rig recommended. If a shooter is already proficient with an IWB positon such as AIWB and prefers to use an EDC holster that is acceptable as well.
