The TPC Challenges are simple isolated drills, designed to narrow your focus on specific skills of Reactive Shooting and to fine-tune them to the smallest details. The challenges will help you test your skills, identify areas for improvement, isolate the specific things needed to achieve improvement and implement those changes for higher performance. Combined together, these skills will shape your performance as a practical shooter.
TPC Challenges tests and improves your physical, technical, and emotional readiness to perform. It gives you confidence and trust in your ability when you have to perform on demand.
Challenge Mastery
We continually strive to improve and make our courses more comprehensive and effective. As a laboratory of Reactive Shooting Science, we continue to develop innovative methods of delivering knowledge and understanding on the path of shooting mastery.
The challenges will help you test your skills, identify areas for improvement, isolate the specific things needed to achieve improvement and implement those changes for higher performance. Combined together, these skills will shape your performance as a practical shooter.
In this course, participants will complete each exercise (all 10 TPC challenges) first to get an idea of where they are in their skillset. Then, through guided training, using the principles of Reactive Shooting Science, they will have the opportunity to dramatically improve their performance. Ultimately, they will not only master the art of reactive shooting skills but also will have a true knowledge of their abilities and how to improve in training.
Successfully completing our Handgun Mastery 1 course is highly encouraged (but not required) for anybody interested in this course.
