Pistol Proficiency is our 2 day class for the more ADVANCED shooter. Both IRON sights and RED DOT sights are welcome in this class! This course has a prerequisite that must be met (see below).

​​At each PP class every new client will receive  a WHITE "Complete Combat Ant" rank patch.  Accuracy standards and challenges are a BIG part of our classes. Please visit our Challenges page for details on THE DRILLS and WHAT YOU CAN EARN! During this advanced 2 day course you will shoot our "standards" to earn a BLUE, PURPLE, BROWN or BLACK "Complete Combat Ant".

THE COMPLETE COMBATANT’S SCORED DRILLS
 
The following courses of fire challenge the armed citizen to perform the most common technical skills from a concealed draw. A well-designed interlocking curriculum provides a platform for building and evaluating core skills, efficiency, effectiveness, and mental fortitude.
 
I use martial art belt ranks as the basis for the patch system. I have taught and developed this curriculum for four decades, and I have a deep understanding of the developmental process of athletes.
 
  1. The Bullseye course checks shot calling, dot tracking, and accuracy using an extended prep and press to work on hand stopping (95-5, 90-10, 80-20) vision cues (flash, floating, focused), and trigger speed (quickly, carefully, precisely).
  2. The Trifecta is a simple test to measure the shooter’s ability to adjust hand, trigger, and vision speed relative to the target size with maximum efficiency.
  3. Mixed Six is a basic course of fire with par times to teach different hand position that armed citizen may need to employ.
  4. The Core Four establishes a baseline for current level of skill in common shooting drills. It also provides a percentage rating for the belt test patch.

​We will close day 2 with a few words from your coaches, hand out "Complete Combat Ant" rank patches, recommendations and AWARDS. You will be emailed a Certificate of Completion. This certificate will state your "Complete Combat Ant" rank.

This class is for the person that wants to advance their skills to be more prepared for any eventuality.  Pistol Proficiency will use paper and steel targets! We invite you to attend as many times as you like because it is never the same class twice. As the shooters skills advance the class standards will become more challenging.
