Ultimate Comprehensive Fundamental Pistol Training
I signed up for the P1 Course not knowing what to expect. I was not disappointed at all. The amount of information on proper pistol use and safety was overwhelming but very motivating. Justin has a very comprehensive syllabus of all the fine points of safety and correct pistol operation on the range that he has acquired over the years. Take advantage of his experience and absorb as much as you can. I love sending rounds down the range but I really want to be confident of my safety practices. Confidence in safety has a spillover to performance. I could take this course multiple times just for the refreshing of all the information. This is a perfect activity to take a family member or friend and improve your confidence in skills and knowing everyone is using the best safety practices. I'm looking forward to P2 Pistol Advanced Applications and R1 Rifle fundamentals. Highly recommend.

Pistol Fundamentals
Not new to shooting pistols and I understand the basics but Justin took it to the next level. There were flaws in my stance and form that Justin noticed and corrected. The different drills made me more confident and proficient in moving and transitioning from target to target. Very engaging course with someone who knows what he is doing. Would do this class again as an awesome refresher or go with a friend without any experience. Great intro class to anyone that is new to the 2A community.
