PPS – PERFORMANCE PISTOL 1 WITH PACE PERFORMANCE CONSULTING
March 26, 2021 @ 9:00 am - March 27, 2021 @ 5:00 pm
Some shooters use the Performance Pistol I course as a way to improve on the less-than-optimal training they have received during traditional fast-track entry-level courses. Many accomplished shooters and even experienced instructors from other organizations use the course to improve basic skills. It is not uncommon to have shooters with very diverse backgrounds in the same class, which makes this course somewhat unique in the shooting industry. One thing is for sure, everybody will benefit, regardless of their current level of certification or experience.
This class is a great review of the basic principles of firearms and their safe handling. The principles of Performance Pistol I are the basis upon which all of our other courses are built. This course gives you a solid fundamental grounding and understanding of modern Performance Shooting and the use of the tactical pistol.
If in doubt about which course to start with, take this one before signing up for the next level. You will learn a great deal and improve your basic skill sets. This course is a solid foundation for a student to build on and move to the next level. We have found a unique blend of Tactical Pistol and Performance based shooting; a blend that focuses not only on Manipulation, but Marksmanship and Efficiency.
