Pistol 1
Performance Pistol I is an initial familiarization class for those who have never handled a firearm or someone that has very little experience. It can also be a great refresher for those who have not shot in a while or have never taken a formal class before. If you do not own a firearm or recently purchased one, this is the class to attend.
This class is a great review of the basic principles of firearms and their safe handling. The principles of Performance Pistol I are the basis upon which all of our other courses are built. This course gives you a solid fundamental grounding and understanding of modern Performance Shooting and the use of the tactical pistol.
If in doubt about which course to start with, take this one before signing up for the next level. You will learn a great deal and improve your basic skill sets. This course is a solid foundation for a student to build on and move to the next level. We have found a unique blend of Tactical Pistol and Performance based shooting; a blend that focuses not only on Manipulation, but Marksmanship and Efficiency.
