IPSC is deferent from most shooting sports in that it is less repetitive. Most shooting sports require the shooter to perform the same skills, shot after shot, and match after match. Not so in our sport of IPSC. IPSC shooting presents a new challenge to the competitor each stage he shoots. Each match presents stages and challenges never before met, and often - with multiple solutions.

Because of this, match experience is so important in our game, as is the ability to analyze quickly and correctly the challenge faced, and decide the best way for YOU to resolve it. Tactical decisions are often deciding factors in international matches, where all the top runners are at very similar technical ability levels.

While this course covers some additional technical and mental topics, the focus is on tactical analysis of stages. Recognizing possible solutions, and deciding what is best for you.

This is a one day course of approximately 8 hours, 9am to 6pm with an hour break for lunch, and shorter breaks as needed. Each student will require 250 rounds of ammo.

The topics covered in this course are:

• Safety rules
• Tactical stage analysis
• Deciding YOUR game plan
• Mental rehearsal for a stage
• Activated targets: swingers, turners, movers
• Stop-watch use in IPSC
• Training effectively, preparing for match day
• Practice drills

This course is conducted in part in the range and in part in a lecture room, as some of the topics are covered by lecture. The shooting  is mostly more advanced type stages, complex type stages which include tactical options to be analyzed. Also, addition training tools and techniques are discussed and practiced.
