About this Course

Pistol Diagnostics courses encompass five, 3-4 hour modules of training. Each module focuses on an aspect of shooting fundamentals. Pistol Diagnostics will teach students how to self diagnose shooting errors from several vantage points. A shooter must be able to recognize shooting errors in real time, during the event.

Modules break down as follows:

Mod. 1: Sights and Trigger (200 rounds)
Mod. 2: Recoil Management (300 rounds)
Mod. 3: Draws, Reloads & Malfunctions (150 rounds)
Mod. 4: Shooting & Movement (150 rounds)
