Tim Herron is a USPSA Grandmaster and has an excellent reputation as an instructor. The class focuses on the skills needed to excel at competition, but faster, more confident gun handling will serve you well in any environment. There are no official prerequisites, but safe gun handling is a must.
Tuition is $400, a deposit of $200 secures your spot. Range fees of $30 are due at class. Class will be at Marion Rd Gun Club in Macon. PM for more info.
Curriculum:
Space allowing, we will set up a full stage, for students to run through at the beginning of class. The stage will include a number of elements such as entries and exits, opportunities to shoot on the move, awkward positions, close and far targets, and high risk arrays. This first run through will be an assessment tool, helping the instructor to figure out your shooting style and where improvements can be made. Throughout the class we will occasionally revisit this stage, and use parts of it to isolate and develop skills, and set up drills.
In addition, we'll be covering the following topics:
Day 1
1. Overview of gear setup/optimization
2. Small discussion on grip/stance/draws
3. Group shooting
4. Dot drills w/o timer and w/ timer
5. Discussion/demo on importance of trigger control and sight management
6. Transitions
7. Sight deviation and acceptable risk
8. Reloads/Unloaded starts/Table starts
9. Putting it all together (4 aces, El Prez, Accelerator)
Day 2
1. Movement (side to side, downrange/uprange)
2. Positioning and how to set up properly (barricades, ports, leans)
3. Entries/Exits
4. Importance of having gun up ready to shoot ALWAYS
5. Stage planning (visualization, self talk)
6. Stage shooting and performance improvement and evaluation
