Course Description:

The Advanced Pistol Movement (304) is an advanced pistol course designed to develop a mobile pistol firing platform. Students will learn to effectively engage targets on the move from 5-25 yards by improving their mobility and stability while shooting. Direction of movement will be forward, rearward, laterally and linearly with a heavy emphasis on situational awareness and muzzle discipline. Drawing while moving in various directions along with pivots and turns to safely engage targets in an asymmetrical landscape. Close range shooting focuses on using an acceptable sight picture while long range shooting will focus the tactical imperative.

Subjects in the Advanced Pistol Movement include types of movement, directions of movement, movement techniques, acceptable sight picture theory and trigger control for movement. A major objective is the ability to move dynamically while engaging targets effectively regardless of range measured against time and accuracy. Supporting objectives include: athletic shooting stance, rigid gun mount, movement speed variants and sight misalignment demonstrations.
