The first 2 basics skills classes were a great success and we will be doing more. A busy schedule has prevented me from scheduling more, but let me know if you have interest in our next class by emailing me at hkbrt@verizon.net As soon as we get more interest I will put more emphasis on getting one scheduled. The first opportunity will likely be sometime in June.
The primary focus of this class will be on the proper firing grip, the draw, and the reload as used in our sport. Multiple targets acquisition is central to USPSA shooting and we will deal with that at length. We will spend some time working with the fundamentals of accuracy and setting reasonable goals. I will teach you some of my favorite drills that you may practice to help you in all of the above areas. This is not a tactical or defense class we are only interested in USPSA shooting and only skills that relate to that will be discussed.
