Once students demonstrate proficiency in pistol safety and handling, they move to the next level, where they learn to safely draw and fire at stationary targets. We begin slowly to reinforce muscle memory and ensure comfort, which has proven effective for progress.

This stage also focuses on teaching smooth magazine changes, done at a methodical pace, just like drawing from the holster. Even the fastest shooters use this approach.

We reintroduce timed shooting, adding controlled stress once students have mastered the basics, then gradually increase the pace.

Multiple targets are introduced; sparking competition and helping students see their improvement. Many report that this is when the fundamentals truly click!
