"Core". The name for this course was carefully chosen. You've probably heard many similar monikers like "fundamental", "level 1", "intro", "Beginner" etc. But for us none of those fit. The idea for this class is simple. Take what we see as the Core fundamental skills for any practical shooting discipline (whether that be self/home defense or competition) and give students as in-depth of an understanding as we can in 16 hours, and send you home with 6 months to a year of homework. For us those skills are as follows.
 
- Accuracy: If you can't hit stuff, nothing else matters.
- Speed: If you can hit stuff, but can't hit it in time, it still doesn't matter.
- Gun Handling Skills: Draws, presentations, reloads, the essentials.
- Target Transitions: Whether transitioning between multiple targets or simply driving the gun to a target when the target location was unknown, target transition mechanics are absolutely essential for the tactical or performance shooter.
- Movement: Neither gunfights or matches happen flat-footed. Movement is almost always a key factor. We'll work on entering and exiting shooting positions with efficiency, as well as shooting on the move.
 
With individual attention and coaching for each student, shooters with various backgrounds and levels are welcome. This should not be your very first training. This course will not teach you how to load/unload your guns etc. Students should already understand how their firearm works, understand the safety rules and be able to safely move around a range without supervision etc. With that said there is no skill-based speed or accuracy pre-requisite. Whether you are beginner level, or a long-time law enforcement officer looking to grow your skills, this course will push you to the next level.
