Shooting Micros Fast & Accurate with Trident Concepts, LLC

Overview

The SHOOTING MICROS FAST & ACCRUATE (MFA) is a one-day course on how best to shoot the modern Micro Compact pistols. In this course, students learn how to shoot the Micros faster by improving recoil control through grip adaptations and modifications. Then shoot more accurately by understanding acceptable sight picture and fine trigger control. Close range drills are designed to test and expose weaknesses in the crush grip as well as emphasize rough trigger control and consistent follow through. Long range drills are designed to test and expose weaknesses in the aiming process as well as define fine trigger control. Subjects covered include combat marksmanship, sighting systems, crush grip and TDE theory. The course goal is to provide the shooter the experience on shooting fast when necessary, but metering speed when accuracy is the priority. Additional subjects where time permits includes reduced targets, shooting under high stress and shooter diagnostics.
