    Way of the Gun/ Frank Proctor (Day 2 and 3, range days)



    Performance Pistol Process

    The Performance Pistol Process is a 2-day pistol course designed to give the shooter a more complete understanding of what is

    necessary for performance shooting with the 1911/2011 model pistol.

    I define Performance shooting as: Applying the correct ratio of speed and accuracy to dynamic shooting situations with a goal of

    scoring maximum points in minimum time. For an example of performance shooting, I would say get on you tube and take a look at a

    world champion shooter competing in a USPSA field course or 3 gun course stage. As I see it there are only 4 things going on there

    allowing that shooter to win.

    I call these the 4 Components of Performance Shooting:


    - Processing
    - Control
    - Mechanics
    - Movement

    In the Performance Pistol Process we will explore all 4 components in detail and you as the shooter will walk away with new

    understanding of what it takes to be a performance pistol shooter. This 2 day course will provide you with enough repetition to

    completely grasp the concepts and develop new skills that will change your pistol shooting.


    Instructor: Frank Proctor



    Course requirements:

    - A 1911/2011 pistol suitable for Performance Shooting (9mm or larger)
    - 5-7 magazines or the ability to have 45-50 rounds per training iteration

    - Minimum 2 mag pouches
    - Belt
    - Hearing and Eye protection (wrap around eye protection recommended)
    - 1500 rounds for this 2 day course in order to get enough repetitions in to grasp the concepts and develop skills.
    - Personal items as needed.
