This course will discuss the process of training the fundamentals, stacking the fundamentals, and performing high levels of proficiency on demand. Shooting has continued to evolve, but after years of teaching in the law enforcement community, there is still much conflicting information. This class will talk through many of the techniques and skills being taught while highlighting some of the proven methods that impact the shooter's performance. We will talk about how to use these skills as a training tool and how they correlate to real-world applications. Additionally, the class will cover training processes and different models for implementing techniques to build skill and performance. The different models can be applied to an individual shooter or a team. We will talk through objective measures, how to track performance, and how to appropriately stack skills for optimal performance. This class aims to more deeply understand shooting principles, how to enhance performance, and how a better training model will lead to increased outcomes during live operations.
