Pistol Hard Skills

HARD SKILLS: Technical skills required for a job/profession.  Learned abilities acquired though training and experience.  Measurable and Quantifiable.

Most people have heard the saying" when it's time to perform you will not rise to the occasion, you will fall to your lowest level of training". Here's the reality, when it's time to perform with the guns, fighting or competition, your habits are going to show up, good or bad.  The focus of this course is to show you how to develop good winning habits/hard skills so that when it comes time to perform, you will perform well/win.  

In this course we will focus on building a shooting foundation and training/performance mindset that apply to any performance based shooting from gun fighting to competition or just having more fun as a recreational shooter.

We will use simple to execute Habit Development Exercises in order to build good habits.  You will learn how to properly conduct these exercises in order to get maximum habit development value from your time.  We will put in good repetitions on these exercises and then introduce Hard Skill Evaluations that you can use to determine your progress.  

You will leave this 2 day course with a solid understanding of how to develop winning habits and if you apply yourself during the 2 days you will leave better than you arrived.  

The information covered in this course applies to any shooting application or goal you may have, it is no limited to gunfighting or competition.

EQUIPMENT:

Pistol – recommended full sized to mid sized pistol. 5” to 4” gun, a glock 19 sized pistol would be the smallest pistol recommended for this course due to the amount of reps we will put in.  If you carry a smaller gun, bring it also and you can put some reps in with it after you have achieved the standards with a more shootable gun.  

Holster- OWB or IWB 

Sights – Iron sights or red dots are fine

3 magazines (more is fine)
