About the Pistol Intelligence Shooting CourseThis unique 2-day Pistol Intelligence shooting course is intended to streamline each student’s development by breaking down pistol shooting into its simplest principles and forms. We want to shortcut doing things the hard way establish a pathway forward that bypasses the common pitfalls most shooters spend YEARS struggling to get past.
One of the biggest lessons we will cover is the role that visual processing plays in one’s shooting. We will work to unlock the potential that already exists in your vision—the ability to see and process visual information more efficiently and with greater precision. This turns into an instant feedback loop for greater performance with the pistol in your hand
What You’ll Learn in Riley Bowman’s Pistol Intelligence Course
In this course, we will unlock that visual performance and show you how to connect what you see with your desired results on target. You will come away with the ability to KNOW precisely where each bullet fired will impact the target before it even gets there. Some of the things in the course may seem like it has a competition focus, but I promise you these concepts are ESPECIALLY useful for gun-carrying professionals and serious concealed-carrying citizens. Learning to use your vision more effectively has been shown to actually reduce stress and improve decision-making when it matters. We will also cover the following
Principles of grip
Sight picture
Trigger manipulation
Recoil management done the right way!
Draw efficiency
Concepts of sooner NOT faster
How to discover your own unique techniques that work best for you
Vision drills
Shot calling
Accountability for hits
Transitions
The “Stoplight Analogy” for proper throttle control
Plus, each student will shoot the Pistol IQ Standards to establish their own Pistol Intelligence Quotient (I.Q.) score. This score can then be used to establish a baseline of performance to measure future growth. To score well at the Pistol Intelligence Standards requires that a shooter be well-rounded and not just good at one or two things. Those that can score a Pistol IQ of 144 points or more will be awarded an exclusive numbered Pistol IQ Grand Master Card.
Who Should Attend This Shooting Course?
This should not be the first formal pistol training course you have taken. This is not a class intended to teach you how to draw or how to setup your gear. This is a class to teach you how to SHOOT! You should already be capable of consistently passing Gila Hayes’ 5×5 Drill if you’re wondering whether this would be a good fit for you or not. Being able to consistently shoot a 80+ on the 10-10-10 drill would be another good metric to gauge readiness.
