Professional Development Seminar

Professional Development Description

The Professional Development (099) is a two-hour seminar were particpants will literally shoot a series of drills that Jeff uses to maintin his skill level. The session centers around his monthly live fire training so each seminar is unique and will be different. Each of the drills is briefed, demonstrated and shot individually for score. The standards are further defined for the various skill levels and how to properly document performance to evalute future training. Partcipants will get first hand knowledge on the methodology Jeff uses to trains; which includes essential skills identification, minimum performance standard, degree of difficulty and degree of atrophy. Due to time constraints and safety, all drills are shot from open carry strong side.
