"Every shooter will go home with a toolkit full of knowledge making them a better marksman, and chances are good they'll go home with a new gun."
The instruction covers explosive, dynamic, high-speed marksmanship—not traditional firing line shooting. Expect to work on:
- •Speed drawing from a holster
- •Speed reloads and magazine changes
- •Movement drills under pressure
- •Fundamental pistol mechanics
- •Battlefield-proven advanced techniques
- •Action shooting competition drills
The schedule runs Thursday evening through Sunday afternoon with 3 full days of range time (breakfast, briefing, and instruction sessions included). Plan to shoot approximately 1,500 rounds total—ammunition can be pre-ordered through the organizers.
Minimum age is 21 (or 18 with a chaperone). Attendees range from solo shooters to father/son pairs to competitive groups. Limited spots available, with payment split 50% deposit upfront and balance due 90 days prior.
The centerpiece is a private competition on Sunday where attendees shoot 5 courses of fire alongside all three champions, receiving coaching and critique through each stage. This gives you direct feedback from world-record holders on your actual shooting performance.
Professional photography by Blue Diamond Photography captures the entire weekend—individual autographed photos with the pros plus candid shots compiled for each student.
