Defensive Pistol

Description

In this full-day class, you’ll hone fundamentals, refining stance, grip and vision, isolating critical, often under-developed skills like draw stroke, movement and transitions. You’ll learn the most effective, natural and practical techniques that eliminate unnecessary failure points and stand up under pressure. Working through a process-oriented, logical progression of exercises, you’ll work on connection and vision to drive predictable behavior out of your gun. You’ll gain the capability to shoot at a more aggressive pace and hit targets at close to intermediate distances for improved speed, control and accuracy. You’ll run a mix of aggressive stand and deliver marksmanship shooting and short burst movement exercises for defensive utility.

Classes are held at Topton Fish & Game Association in Mertztown, PA, a natural outdoor environment that allows for effective training. Classes are capped at 5 students for maximum reps, individualized feedback and coaching.
