This 1-day course begins with a review of safety protocols and an audit of each individual’s shooting fundamentals and basic skill sets (draw stroke, reloads, etc). During this course, students will enhance their current pistol skills by learning to draw from the holster, enhancing their speed on draws and getting more accurate shots, strong hand/weak hand transitions, target transitions, malfunctions, reloads, fighter mindset, and movement (forward and lateral). You should at least be comfortable handling your pistol to take this class – this is not a beginner class.

I’m looking to get into competitive shooting and this was a great class to learn in. I learned how to be more efficient in my draw and my footwork so that’s going to shave some seconds off my time. Plus little things like how to pick up my sights better.

I can’t think of enough good things to say about Joe and Jeff as instructors. These guys really know their stuff and I learned a lot from them. Will be back for more in the future! Thanks, guys!

This was life-changing for me. Before this I didn’t know how much I didn’t know and now I feel super confident in my pistol skills. This was a tremendous course and the abilities I discovered I had over the weekend…I don’t really know how to put it into words. Thanks Joe, you taught me a lot and I’ll be back for more classes in the future!

The website aint lying this definitely is Illinois best firearms instruction. Pistol 2 was great. With all the drills we did I really feel more confident in my pistol handling skills.

Pistol 2 was an amazing experience. After correcting a few of my bad habits in pistol 1 I did things with a pistol I never though I would be able to do. Joe and Jeff are on point. The instruction is so easy to understand. You will not regret taking this training. It was so good I will likely take it again.

I was completely floored with the amount of training I received from this course. Joe really hit this out of the park, along with Jeff. Both instructors were very knowledgeable and were able to teach that knowledge in a easily retainable way. I will be back as a returning customer.
