PSA – Advanced Shooter Analysis and Remediation
3 Days
Abstract:
Failure to qualify or generally poor performance leads to an enormous waste of time, money and resources for an agency that could be better used elsewhere. Failure to diagnose problems correctly, improper remediation strategies, incorrect advice or useless drills only compound the problem.
Factor in instructor and shooter frustration and qualification courses that never evolve because the lowest common denominator can’t rise any higher and you have a formula for stagnation and burnout.
It doesn’t have to stay that way! Learn new ways to successfully bring shooter performance up to higher levels.
This course will apply to shooting at all levels of performance!
Ammunition: 750 rounds recommended
Target Audience:
Must be a certified law enforcement firearms instructor and a full time member of that agency to attend.
