Adaptive Pistol 1.5 (Beginner) / 5 hour - 1 Day Course
Description - (We only allow 16 students in any given class, to provide everyone the attention they deserve)
Adaptive Pistol 1.5 is designed to give the beginner shooter the continuing progression after a Pistol 1 course. Pistol 1 has a ton of information and many of our students aren't quite ready for Pistol 2 but has grasped the concepts of Pistol 1. We developed Pistol 1.5 to bridge the gap between Pistol 1 and Pistol 2. Continuing on from where Pistol 1 left off, we will recap the weapon manipulation portion of the class and start working on more repetitions and begin working precision.
Our Pistol 1.5 course focuses on combat shooting, precision and the reality of gun fighting.
