Another joint class with Tim Herron and A.J. Zito, this is a unique experience which combines training with actual match experience. This class is designed to help overcome the gap that sometimes occurs between your training and your actual match performance, and is essential in helping to identify and correct those habits that only seem to occur “on the clock.” Here’s how it’ll go:
 
In this specialized small group class, we zero in on student discussed deficiencies that are holding them back from realizing their true potential:
 
1.Shoot stage/s to assess and identify strengths and deficiencies of students
2.Stage breakdown and things to analyze for max efficiency (counting steps/measuring distance, reducing transition distances, maximizing points, are you crossing paths/arrays multiple times), tips for memory stages
3.Maximizing position entries and exits
4.Confidence on difficult targets (where to aim, what to look for)
5.Transitions and throttle control 
6.Diagnosis: grip deficiencies, visual patience, shot calling, movement  (Why do we miss? Why didn’t we see it? Why am I overrunning positions?
7.Understanding balance of accuracy/points/speed
8.How to take stage/match fragments and turn them into purposeful practice drills
 
This class is for shooters/students that have a pretty firm grasp on shooting fundamentals and are looking to improve their stage/match performance with in-depth analysis and understanding of the smaller considerations often overlooked. 
There is a lot of exploration and experimentation from the group to answer questions to discover what works and why.
