Our Performance Mechanics Class takes a deep dive into the fundamentals of shooting a handgun and what it takes to shoot at high speed, while maintaining a high level of both accuracy and consistency. We’ll discuss and explore topics in a way that allows for correction and development in real time, paves a path for training moving forward, and lays the foundation required to be successful in more dynamic environments such as a competitive stage and/or real world applications. 

 

Topics include and begin with fundamental principles such as physical structure (stance, grip, presentation, etc.), trigger manipulation as it applies to accuracy AT SPEED, and the visual side of shooting as it pertains to target risk. From there, we will explore foundational target transition concepts and learn how to apply proper fundamental shooting while engaging multiple targets. We will also discuss and explore the concept of “throttle control” throughout target arrays, basing the speed on the visual component. Shooters will learn how to engage full target arrays with varying degrees of risk while applying lessons explored, and maintain a high level of both speed and accuracy while doing it.

 

From there, the class will start exploring how to apply this level of shooting while moving around effectively. We will take a deep dive into shooting on the move while staying aggressive in both the movement itself and the shooting. We will also explore when, and how, to leverage shooting on the move while exiting and entering shooting positions and how to get setup for complete target arrays/areas in a way that allows for maximum accuracy at speed throughout the array.

 

During class we will also discuss training methodologies in order to give students a better understanding of what their own training should look like. This includes how to isolate skills, how to use training metrics to guide training and goals, and how to effectively use both dry and live fire to hone skills.
