What is the Cheat Codes of Shooting™ 1 class?

The Cheat Codes of Shooting™ 1 is our most popular and widely raved about pistol class. It is a marksmanship class designed for beginner to advanced shooters to improve their overall pistol shooting performance by taking a deep dive into the core skills of shooting.

It varies from other classes in the industry because we share the principles behind modern-day shooting techniques and share the cheat codes we’ve learned from training with over 100 different instructors in the past three years.

Key learning points regarding stance, grip, sight alignment, sight picture, and trigger press will be taught and demonstrated to improve students’ understanding and application of core skills, followed by various exercises and drills to help students better execute all the techniques taught in the class.
