Advanced Pistol
Pressure reveals what practice has built. This demanding eight-hour course tests advanced gun handling, accuracy, movement, and decision-making under increasing stress.
THE EXPERIENCE
What you’ll build.
Advanced Pistol is a performance course for experienced students who already own the fundamentals. The day combines demanding accuracy standards with faster presentations, target transitions, movement, positional shooting, and complex manipulations. Timed and decision-based exercises create controlled stress that exposes inefficiency without sacrificing safety or accountability. Students learn to diagnose their own performance and make deliberate corrections while the pace rises. The result is a stronger bridge between square-range skill and genuine defensive capability.
