Handgun Performance Lab:
Build the Skills Run the Gun
Two days of coached reps, practical shooting, and progressively harder problems.
Handgun Performance Lab is a two-day deep dive into the core skills of practical handgun shooting.
You’ll work through drawing, movement, target transitions, malfunctions, and shooting across changing distances and positions—then start layering those skills together as the drills become more demanding.
Every skill is taught, demonstrated, coached, and immediately applied on the range.
The goal isn’t just to shoot more rounds. It’s to understand what you’re doing, what’s working, and what needs your attention next.
“The best teaching I’ve ever had in any shooting discipline and worth every penny.”
