Course Overview
THE FIRE STAGE
Fire does not ask where it is going. It already knows.
Reactive shooting waits to see the sights settle before each press. It works, and it is slower than a determined adversary.
Predictive Shooting Against an Adversary teaches you to read your sights at speed, build a cadence you can trust, and know when predictive shooting is right and when the shot demands that you slow down.
This is class 02 of 6 on the Handgun Level 3 roadmap. The round count is the highest of the level.
