2-DAY PERFORMANCE PISTOL

 

Our Performance Pistol Class is designed with the shooter that has an understanding of weapon safety and fundamentals in mind but wants to learn how to run the handgun at their maximum ability. During this class, we will discuss, demonstrate and drill the most efficient practices for every facet of shooting a handgun with a high demand on speed and accuracy. We will push even the most seasoned shooters past their limits with regards to speed and accuracy, dissect individual skills in order to find inefficiencies, and apply corrections so we can collectively redefine what fast and accurate really is.

Day 1 will focus on static shooting with a high demand on accuracy AT relevant speed and the skills necessary to accomplish this. By the end of day 1, students will be able to apply these concepts in order to be aggressively accurate through varying target presentations and target arrays. 

On day 2 the class will apply this level of shooting, continuing with a high demand of aggressive accuracy as we learn to move around effectively. We will explore how to exit and enter shooting positions, move comfortably and safely with the gun and merge or blend shooting positions together. We'll also learn to shoot while moving and discuss when and where shooting on the move makes sense given the scenario. 

 

During this class we will also discuss training methodologies in order to give students a better understanding of what their own firearms training should look like. This includes how to isolate skills, how to use training metrics to guide training and goals, and how to effectively use both dry and live fire to hone skills.

Sean started his shooting career in the United States Marine Corps in 2008 and has been involved in the field of training and firearms since. From 2010-2012 Sean served as a martial arts instructor for the USMC and realized his passion to teach and help others reach their own goals. In 2012, Sean exited the Marines and started a career in law enforcement. Sean served as an operational officer in Maryland from 2012-2015 where he gained valuable experience in the field while honing his own shooting skills through competition shooting within the International Defensive Pistol Association (IDPA) and training on his own time. In 2015, Sean moved from the departments’ Operations Section to their Training Unit and taught firearms and tactics full time to both law enforcement personnel as well as civilians deploying overseas. 

In 2017, Sean accepted a 3-year transfer to Glynco, GA to teach firearms to federal, state and local law enforcement officers and agents full time. During this time, he continued to develop his own skills in both instructional techniques as well as shooting skill. In 2018, Sean won the IDPA National Championship in the Stock Service Pistol Division and began competing in the United States Practical Shooting Association (USPSA) in March of 2018. By July of 2019, he had attained the rank of Grand Master, the highest shooter ranking available, in the Production Division. In November of 2019, Sean began competing with a red dot mounted pistol in the USPSA carry optics (CO) division and by August of 2020, he had attained the rank of Grand Master in the CO division as well. Since then, Sean has had multiple top 12 finishes at the USPSA National Championship (top 12 qualifies for the "super squad" the following year).

In January of 2020, Sean left the police and accepted a permanent position with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) where he continues to teach firearms to federal, state and local Law Enforcement Officers and Agents.
