This is not a class to learn new skills. Pistol Skill Builder is structured live-fire practice for shooters who already have basic handgun training and want to improve the skills they've already learned. Stay sharp between formal training courses.

WHO THIS IS FOR:​​

​​

For shooters who have completed Pistol I, Pistol II, or equivalent handgun training and want to:

  • Improve skills they've already learned

  • Get instructor feedback while practicing

  • Build consistency, confidence, accuracy, or speed

  • Practice transitions between multiple targets, movement, drawing from holster, and more.

​

Not for brand-new shooters learning basic handgun skills.

WHY THIS MATTERS:​​

​

Training teaches skills. Practice makes them consistent.

Skill Builder gives you purposeful live-fire practice with periodic instructor observation and coaching—so you can focus your repetitions on the areas you want to improve.

HOW THE SESSION WORKS:​​

​

1. Set Your Goals

Briefly discuss what you want to improve (e.g accuracy, speed, etc.) .

2. Warm Up & Establish a Baseline

Start with live-fire drills while the instructor observes your shooting.

3. Practice & Get Coaching

Work through drills focused on your goals and coaching to help achieve those goals. 

4. Train at Your Level

Based on your needs, goals, and performanceinstructors may divide the group into smaller teams for more focused practice.

5. Challenge Yourself

Shooters who are ready may progress into a more challenging live-fire environment, which can include:

Accuracy - Multiple targets - Holster work - Movement - Tactical reloads - Time pressure 

The goal is to test the skills you've been practicing in a more demanding environment.

WHAT YOU’LL WORK ON:​​

​

There is no fixed curriculum. Your practice is based on what YOU want to improve and what your instructor observes.

Depending on your goals and skill level, you may work on:

  • Accuracy and consistency

  • Recoil control

  • Speed and precision

  • Target transitions

  • Reloads

  • Multiple targets (steel and paper)

  • Movement

  • Other previously learned handgun skills
