Description
 

Adaptive Pistol 1 (Beginner) / 5 hour (Summer) or 6 Hour (Winter)- 1 Day Course

Description - (We only allow 14 students in any given class, to provide everyone the attention they deserve)

Adaptive Pistol 1 is designed to give the beginner shooter the proper handgun fundamentals to survive an encounter. Most Beginner courses focus on sight picture and trigger control. Our thought process is different. We believe you can not teach these fundamentals in a one day course. Our Pistol 1 course focuses on combat shooting and the reality of gun fighting. Starting with mindset, the class focuses on the core foundation of combat shooting, weapon manipulation, acceptable accuracy under dynamic stress.

5 of 5 Good class for wide range of shooters November 27, 2017
Reviewer: Heath Lewallen from Tucson, AZ United States  
Just attended the 26 November 2017 class. Techniques are state of the art and updated to include the latest in gunfighting science (and dangit they work).  This class is a great place for more experienced shooters to adapt the latest techniques.  Students with no firearms experience and varying physical ability left in a state I would describe as safe and capable (very impressed with that).  Don't let your mind wander when thinking they are covering stuff just for new shooters.  I've been shooting revolvers since getting a 686 for my 12th birthday, and picked up a trick on revolver tactical reloads.  Overall a very productive class for new shooters, or intermediate shooters looking to update their skillset and proceed to more advanced classes.  Don't let the price fool you- this is top tier training by friendly people who are looking to equip the good guys with skills needed to get them home safe, and make their home safer.
