AGC – Handgun Skill Refinement Course

This course is designed to teach each student how to properly self assess their skill level, and techniques used to achieve sub second proficiency.

This course is developed for the committed shooter seeking the capability of high performance shooting from themselves and their firearm. For anyone who has reached their plateau and would like to get past it.

Students should have a base level of skill before attending this course. They should know how to load, unload, and reload their firearm safely. Students should also be familiar on how to safely draw their guns from their desired carry position. They should also have a basic grasp of fundamental shooting techniques.

Topics Covered:

1. Fundamentals of shooting a handgun with speed and precession and why we need to have both.

2. Pro-perception index and frenetic motion – how to individually self assess ones ability to build consistency in their performance

3. Body Mechanics and “why” its important

4. Coach Backs /Teach Backs – Peer Review an why we do them and what to look for.

5. Gear discussion: pros and cons of holster selections

6. Carry positions: IWB vs OWB vs AIWB debate and considerations
