What to expect
In this full-day class, you’ll hone fundamentals, refining platform, connection and vision, isolating skills like consistent index, shooting and moving, shooting on the move and engaging multiple targets. You’ll work through a logical progression of skill building that stresses connection and vision to drive predictable behavior out of your gun for practical value. You’ll gain the capability to shoot at a more aggressive pace and hit targets at close to intermediate carbine distances out to 50 yards, applying different levels of confirmation for improved speed, control and accuracy. You’ll run a mix of aggressive stand and deliver marksmanship drills and short burst movement exercises for defensive utility.
Classes are held at Topton Fish & Game Association in Mertztown, PA, a natural outdoor environment that allows for effective training. Classes are capped at 5 students for maximum reps, individualized feedback and coaching.
