Ever sign up for a class with absolutely no idea if the instructor/class is a quality product? Well look no further…I just completed the long range class at “Shooting Performance Institute”. The pedigree of these instructors is legit. You will leave this class with enough knowledge to gnaw on for a decade to hone your craft…just singed up for another class.
Jim did a private shooting lesson for myself and my mom. He was so kind and patient and explained everything about beginner gun safety and operation so well. It was a wonderful mother-daughter bonding activity and we both will continue to take more lessons from him!
I have taken multiple classes from Jim and every single time I have left a better shooter. It has honestly been the best investment in shooting I have made. Jim has the gift of being able to break down complex movements and processes into an understandable format and he gives you the necessary feedback to identify and fix what you’re doing wrong. Jim’s instruction also evolves with the times and he incorporates the most current concepts and processes. I think my only regret is that I didn’t take these classes sooner, dollar for dollar they are the best way to improve as a shooter and Jim is a phenomenal instructor with decades of experience and elite level training. Trust me, take the class.
What an amazing class from Jim, Mike, and Dave. Took a full day long range class with a buddy and had the time of our lives. Had a blast (literally) and learned an immense amount of info that I couldn’t have gotten anywhere else. From setting up the rifle to YOU, all the way to learning how to shoot targets at an unknown distance…they covered it all. First time shooting past 100yds and we got all the way out to 1000yds with relative ease after Jim’s instruction. I cannot recommend this class enough.
Jim and the crew made me feel welcome and comfortable. I’ve been shooting a long time but the additional instruction and one on one attention is truly where this training shines. A high level professional and yet down to earth approach makes shootings and beginners welcome and creates a great learning environment. Bring the kids or the buddies to any of SPI’s events with confidence!!
