ONLINE Student: "Better than in person training since each lecture is not overwhelming and I can do reps at my pace"

What it is:  A short (2-3 hours), interactive, informative online course taught through video lecture, instructor demonstration and feedback perfectly designed to help the student learn and master a skill. Learn from the comfort of home! You DON’T need a range or even live ammunition to dramatically increase your skill level. Students who have attended an ONLINE class tell us they learned more than the ON RANGE class they took! Sessions include instruction, dry fire (or Coolfire) drills as well as live fire drill assignments at the end of class.  Participants will receive a Certificate of Attendance for continuing education purposes or personal tracking. 

How it works:  Students will learn from lectures and participate in skill practice for live instructor feedback.  

While students are encouraged to participate, anyone enrolled can simply watch, learn and ask questions.  It's your choice! 

What you need: 1. Computer or Smart Device and Internet with good speed, 2. Webcam with microphone, 3. Distraction free room 4. Course required firearm gear (see the gear list for your course)

THIS CLASS COVERS: 

A detailed mini block that will teach key fundamental principles of drawing with consistency and speed.  We will start with a short discussion on the three key index points and then move into putting it all together.  We will work various hand positions and drive toward higher speeds.  Individual practice will allow direct feedback from the instructor for immediate improvement.  Lastly, we will cover moving starts including stepping draws and pivots, so make sure you have space in your training area for some movement.  

If you improve your draw speed by several tenths you will dramatically improve your score in a 6-8 stage match.  Work this critical skill with an expert and get direct feedback before you develop training scars that take months to fix!

This course gives you the mechanics and confidence to perform under pressure — skills most shooters overlook, but you’ll use in every advanced session that follows.

What You’ll Learn

• Strong-hand only shooting — building stability, accuracy, and recoil control

• Support-hand only shooting — developing precision and confidence on your “other” side

• Transitions between one- and two-hand positions for defensive and competitive application

• Key drills you can integrate immediately into your training to hardwire these skills
