FOUNDATIONS OF PRECISION COMPETITION

FOUNDATIONAL CURRICULUM FOR NEW COMPETITORS AND THOSE WHO ARE COMPETING TO LEARN This course is intended to provide the student with an foundational understanding of the fundamentals of what’s needed to prepare for and excel in precision competition. This curriculum stresses the fundamentals and is focused on critical academic knowledge and the application of it. If you are currently competing to excel, or win, depending on your scorecard results and goals our advanced course may be a better fit. If you are unsure if this curriculum is appropriate, send us a message and we will be happy to discuss and diagnose. This course will position you to understand and assess your current level of knowledge and capability and walk away with the individual ability to apply the curriculum to your personal pathway of growth and training, set realistic goals for yourself, and get out there and compete with confidence. While this course is an intro level course (for competitors) this is NOT a beginner’s course. Our expectation is that you understand and are always able to and will apply firearm safety rules. A safety/medical brief will be given at the start of class. If you fail to safely manipulate your firearm in any way, you are subject to be disarmed, and if so, a refund will not be issued.
