Advanced Pistol Class Course Outline

"Real Life " Tactical Shooting Scenarios


This class begins where our basic/intermediate class leaves off. It is an advanced class in every sense of the word. Classroom time is very limited. We spend most of our time on the range doing what we all love doing - shooting! Emphasis will be on real world scenario & shooting while moving to cover in order to maximize distance & minimize yourself from the threat. Speed movement in all directions will be covered and practiced and students will engage moving targets. Students will need a minimum of 500 to 600 rounds of ammunition. We use Microsoft PowerPoint® and a digital projector for large screen video classroom presentations. Comparable to other courses costing $300, $400 or in some cases as much $700 or $800. At only $250 we believe this is a real bargain.
