Last call for a practical shooting class tomorrow at Sidney Shooting Park! 9am-1pm. $120. We are working on the common technical challenges a competitor finds in a match, with an eye towards teaching you how to practice these things in live fire and dry fire.

And if you don’t currently shoot competition but value competency and confidence shooting a handgun, this class or one like it and practical shooting in general is the clearest path to high-level gun handling and shooting proficiency.

Had the joy of shooting with a great squad at the Rick Hoover Memorial Match yesterday.

Encouraged by Kendra, in 2016 I starting exchanging emails with Rick about shooting Steel Challenge. I had many questions, several of them stupid. He had dealt with newbies plenty, and obviously knew the pressure of a match discourages many people from trying out the sport. So, he invited me to a practice session. The rest is history.

If I was the one who introduced you to competitive shooting, blame Rick.

Lots of progress made yesterday. Here we are working out the fundamentals of a fast, efficient draw. Shoulders and upper body still, support hand meeting the gun as early as possible and bringing the gun up to line-of-sight.

Looks like Nebraska will pass permitless concealed-carry, so now is the time to take a shooting class! These classes are focused on quick and effective shooting from open or concealed holsters, and the small class sizes ensure individual attention. Next classes are scheduled April 29th and May20th.
