Course Overview

Designed for new and intermediate shooters looking to step into USPSA and other hit factor-based competitions, this full-day training course focuses on the key skills, concepts, and mindset needed to excel in action pistol sports.
Whether you’re chasing better stage times or trying to understand why your match results aren’t matching your practice, this class will give you the tools to bridge that gap.

  • ✅ Shot calling: Recognize your hits and fix your misses
  • ✅ Target confirmation levels: When to speed up and when to slow down
  • ✅ Stage breakdowns: Entries, exits, and flow
  • ✅ Stage planning: Build repeatable strategies under pressure

  • A reliable handgun (competition or carry-style)
  • Sturdy belt, holster, and mag carriers
  • At least 3–4 magazines (more is helpful)
  • 700 rounds of range-safe ammunition
