This is Tim Herron’s 2-day Practical Performance class, designed to make you better at practical pew-pew.
About this Event

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.

This class will be limited to 10 students, and is two days long. Classes are focused on the practical shooting skills that will help you more confidently plan, tackle, and shave time from your performance with a pistol. While this class does contain some advanced fundamentals, the class is dynamic and stage oriented. The class also includes a day of “firing line” type fundamentals training, however we won't burn through ammo like a regular class. Therefore, the round counts are bit lower than what you might have seen at other 2-day classes in the past–we will make them count. I am a firm believer that when it comes to proper practice, quality is much more important than quantity, so this class will also cover principles of efficient practice, and how to structure your practices to identify and address your weaknesses. We will not be taking a lunch break, so tudents should plan on bringing what they need.

Cost for the class is $560 for Alpha members. For non-Alpha members, a $30/day range fee will also apply. Payment method details will be emailed once you after you sign up. Payment for class is due within two weeks of registration. Refunds are available until January 18th. After that, a refund will be available until February 7th provided there is someone on the wait list to take your spot. No refunds after February 7th.
