I have been very busy and just haven't made the time to do these classes recently like I should. The shooters who have taken them in the past have found them very infomative and their shooting has improved dramatically. The solution has been to bring in another instructor. The next basic skills class will be taught by Greg Jordan. Greg is a Grand Master shooter, and a instructor for a local police department. He has a firm grasp of the sport and is able to relate it extremely well to others.
Greg's first class will be held at our club on Sunday, the 27th of June. The start time will be 9:00am and the class will be about 4 hours long. The class will be limited to 10 students. The fee will be $100, and it will be due at the time of registration. To register contact me at hkbrt@verizon.net and we'll set things in motion.
The C class, D class, and unclassified shooter will gain the most from the basic class, but anyone who wants to work on the foundation which good USPSA shooting is built is welcome to take the class.
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. Greg will teach you some of his 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.
