While this course is intended for intermediate level shooters, the concepts and drills are often a challenge for shooters of all experience levels. Building upon the students current ability, Accelerated Handgun is designed to introduce new concepts to the student, refining their existing skill set and push them to the next level of mastery of the weapon. While the course will introduce students to new concepts and techniques, Accelerated Handgun is very drill-intensive. Shooters will be challenged to perform various drills emphasizing safety, accountability and speed. If possible, it is highly preferred that students shoot this class with their daily CCW / Duty equipment.
