In this 6-hour Carbine Foundation class you’ll work through a logical progression of marksmanship drills designed to build a strong foundation of hard skills. You’ll be introduced to concepts on vision, mount and connection to drive predictable behavior out of your gun. You’ll gain the capability to shoot at a more aggressive pace and hit targets at close to intermediate distances with control and accuracy. This class will take you out of your comfort zone and accelerate your development.
You’ll gain insight into how to use your targets as a diagnostic tool, showing you what you’re doing right and what you’re doing wrong.
You’ll work with Gino Giliotti at the Lebanon County Police Combat Pistol Club in Lebanon County, PA, a natural outdoor environment that allows for effective training. Classes are capped at 5 students for maximum reps, individualized feedback and coaching. You’ll develop repeatable skills for on-demand performance.
