SPEC-TRAIN 2-Day Level-Up Performance Pistol
10/19/24 9AM-5PM
This course is great for anyone wanting to get faster, and more accurate in any practical shooting context. This is not a "competition 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. I believe stage planning and visualization skills are crucial for any shooter that wants to be elite, as these skills are required to establish accurate consistent baselines when evaluating techniques.
