Competition Skills and Drills - Match Skills - 9/11/2013

This month, we're going to be digging into some shooting on the move scenarios and will have few partial stage setups for us to work the time down on...

Need Scaled Targets?

Had a number of people ask me about scaled targets:

Competition Skills and Drills - Core Skills - 8/14/2013

For the Competition Skills and Drills course on 8/14/2013, we'll be breaking down two USPSA classifiers and examining their scoring. Specifically, El Presidente and Hoser Heaven

What does this mean, exactly?

Obviously, USPSA classifiers involve core shooting skills and gun handling skills, but since they are repeatable, we can use a desired performance score on a classifier to work backwards and establish aggressive par times that guide a competitor's training. Over the long run, practicing these core skills helps consistent match performance.

I'm challenging you to come with a goal in mind: if you want to get a class bump, let's work backwards to find out an aggressive par time that'll get you there!

Competition Skills & Drills (Block 2)

Block 2 - Accuracy

Following our 5 Skill Blocks/1 Mini Match format, for our second block we are going to introduce some drills designed to test and improve accuracy. Even though each block builds on the last session they are completely independent of one another. What this means is that participating in Block 2 without having participated in Block 1 is not only possible but is seamless. As always we look forward to seeing everyone on the 10th

Transition Like a Boss: JC Shows Us How

Rob Leatham says "HELL YEAH!"

Transitioning is key... JC does this.

People think that running faster or drawing faster is what saves the most amount of time, but in reality, it is being able to get the gun shooting faster across banks of targets.

This holds true in rifle and shotgun shooting too...

JC is going to be doing some training with Excel in Lombard and we'll be sure to post information about any upcoming classes. (We're hoping to snag him for a week-night shotgun clinc at some point...)

New Things For This Wednesday

In addition to our monthly "Intro to Competition Pistol" class this Wednesday, Les will also be available for Private/Semi-Private instruction on a closed range. Private is handled on a 1 to 1 basis and Semi-Private is limited to 3 shooters. Topics can be of your choosing or Les can evaluate and customize the class as needed.  There is a 2 hr minimum and 4 hr maximum on  Private/Semi-Private bookings during the week.

We understand it's short notice but the opportunity just presented itself so we wanted to make it available.
