What is Performance Shooting & Movement?

Professional sports shooters are some of the fastest and most accurate shooters given they focus solely on shooting.

However, what techniques, tactics, and movements from sports competition shooting work well in actual combat? What won’t work well?

In our Performance Shooting and Movement class designed for intermediate to advanced shooters, former Navy SEAL and Professional Sports Shooter, Fred Ruiz, will help you master pistol and carbine fundamentals and teach you how to shoot faster and more accurately in life-threatening situations by incorporating practical sports shooting and movement techniques to your arsenal.
