Tactical Performance Center

HIGH PERFORMANCE REACTIVE MARKSMANSHIP HANDGUN/CARBINE (TRAINING) - 24 Hours of Training

MISSION:

To provide the trainees the knowledge, practical skills, and a complete understanding of the principles and

abilities to diagnose themselves of other trainees, using the Reactive Shooting Science system of high-

performance handgun/carbine reactive marksmanship.

METHODOLOGY:

Through a combination of lecture, group discussion, demonstration, and testing, each student will learn how

to practically apply the concepts of Reactive Shooting.

Each student will learn the principles of Reactive Shooting Science and how to apply those principles on an

individual basis. They will then learn how to diagnose shooter deficiencies using these principles and how to

improve in a systematic manner. Each student will have ample opportunities to demonstrate proficiency,

competency, and understanding of these principles.

TRAINING DESCRIPTION

Principles of high-performance reactive marksmanship (Handgun/Carbine)

• Fire Control Triangle – purposes, principles, and techniques of the stance, grip, and trigger control for

high-speed shooting, maintaining high-level accuracy

• Types of trigger manipulations

• Reactive Shooting Cycle – the “algorithm” of the shot

• Point of aim, point of impact offset factor

• Visual acceptability

• Focal continuum – different types of focus and vision methods

• The secrets of the highly efficient target transitions, engaging multiple targets.

• The effective, high-speed engagement (Draw from holster – handgun /low ready, high ready

positions - carbine)

• Maneuvering the rifle around physical obstacles – over/under the shoulder

• Principles of shooting on the move

Methods for diagnostics (students’ performance)

• Reading shooting group patterns

• Most common shooting problems and errors – instant fix of the problem

• Mental analogies and representations
