Brian Hill of The Complete Combatant: Cover and Obstructions
Learning to shoot around cover and obscured targets The armed defender should learn to use cover if it is available and accurately access available target size. In this class we will explore how to efficiently and accurately shoot targets from positions of cover while creating postural stability therefore minimizing the attackers ability to shoot back effectively. Sometimes targets are blocked by objects in between the shooter and the target. Correctly measuring the available target area to shoot without hitting cover or someone in the way is important skill. Proper ready positions, trigger finger, and muzzle discipline will be practiced allowing the armed citizen to have the best chance to survive and win. 150 rounds

Trigger management is suitable for both new and experienced shooters. This 3 hour block begins with a diagnostic session to show you what causes misses and how to fix them.
