Pistol 1

This is a pistol class for everyone—from beginners to advanced shooters. We're going to dive deep into the core skills to seriously up your shooting game.

We're not just doing the usual stuff. We don't just teach you the what; we teach you the principles behind modern shooting techniques. We'll show you exactly how to do things, demonstrate them, and then run you through fun, challenging drills so you can actually nail those techniques on the fly. We'll cover stance, grip, sight picture, and the trigger press.

Who's this class for? If you're a beginner who knows the basics, or an intermediate shooter looking to sharpen your skills, this is for you!

  • How to manage recoil
  • How to manage muzzle rise
  • How to press the trigger without disturbing the sights
  • How to establish a natural point of aim
  • How to align sites by feel
  • How to hard target focus
  • How to shoot controlled pairs
  • How to manipulate different types of reloads
