All of the courses offered by Advanced Performance Shooting are fluid and dynamic in design.  We are constantly making upgrades and changing our program to suit the needs of the shooter/student and to keep current with our ever changing environment.  We reserve the right to change our program of instruction at the very last second in order to further challenge our students, you won’t catch us teaching from a program of instruction that is not flexible.  All classes are limited to 10 students first come first served and payment of the course fee in full is the only way to reserve a seat.  If you let us know 30 days out from a course we will refund your course fee if you can’t attend.  Inside of 30 days up to 15 days out we will refund 50% of the course fee.  Inside of 15 days we don’t offer a refund.

We have the ability to design courses focused toward a specific mission set or profile based on your needs.  Feel free to contact us for more information.  We are not responsible if you over-estimate your firearms manipulation and shooting skill sets;  if you're not sure you can keep up in a particular program ask before you register.  All of our programs are designed to be 2 days and priced accordingly except as noted below... However we understand time contraints and budgets and are prepared to offer these same programs in a 1 day format with a reduced round count and fee.

IPSC Super Squad- This course is designed to enhance IPSC/USPSA stage and match understanding in an effort to produce a more rounded competition match shooter.  We will focus on stage description and breaking down the courses of fire based on shooting division with specific attention to detail to stage specific requirements.  The student can expect to learn how to build a correct plan and then learn techniques to actually stick to that plan after the buzzer.  This course will normally run immediately following a USPSA local match.  250 rounds (min) not provided.  Course fee $40.00 + a $4.00 range use fee. (Afternoon only, following local match)

Active Shooter Resolution-  No one knows where the next "Active Shooter" incident is going to occur, no one knows who is going to be involved.... but what we do know is we can help to prepare you to respond if you are caught in an area attacked by an "Active Shooter".  This course focuses on target identification and reducing the threat with a rapid application of precision fire delivered from positions of disadvantage and while moving.  This course is not based on theory or principles but will deal directly with the techniques required to fight from and to cover while being required to identify threat from friendly targets and survive.  This course is not an Active Shooter Response geared toward first responders who have to enter and eliminate a threat... instead it is geared toward the individual caught in the middle of a violant act!  We highly recommend you consider your level of competance before attending this course and can recommend several programs if you are in doubt.  750 rounds pistol (min) not provided.  $395.00 + a $10.00 range use fee.   (this is our 2 day format price and information)
