We were presented with excellent information ! Jim is a skilled instructor, presenting the materials in layers. Easy to follow. Range time was also presented in layers so we were able to implement one skill on top of the next. Along with great material, Jim also used humor to keep us alert. I would highly recommend Jim’s class !!
When you have a subject matter expert, who instructs this day in and day out, is as giddy as you are at your inevitable success. That pretty much sums up the experience with Jim. Knowledgable, personable, professional, and credible are what you are looking for in any instructor. Jim and his compadres have it nailed down. I’m a lifetime shooter/hunter and had no idea how little I knew. Jim took what I had, tweaked it, corrected it, and improved it. By the second day everything started to come together and while I certainly have a way to go, 1000 yards with my out of the box rifle and scope were a done deal. Jim and company are up close and personal and immediately available for feedback, critique, and praise. Fantastic crew and experience. Hell, I’d pay just for the camaraderie, but I’ll be going again to improve upon my new knowledge and skills and inevitably to correct self-taught bad habits.
Great course given by an excellent teacher. The classroom work breaking down the mechanics of good shooting was enlightening. Jim’s approach is down to earth and accessible. He has great deal of patience and can point out what needs to be worked on. We were able to do some movement drills to experience what its like to shoot in a fluid environment. I never get the chance to do that and look forward to going to train at his school in Nevada.
Jim’s teaching style is such that as a student I understood his methods, embraced his mindset and profited immensely from his professionalism. Jim’s Defensive Pistol training was a great first step in becoming an engaged, aware defender of my own & my family’s safety. I am looking forward to taking the next step in Jim’s program as soon as possible. Thank you Shooting Performance Institute!
I took the September 2021 training at the Police Science Institute in Fresno, CA and thought the level of instruction was time well spent. As someone who has mostly shot static targets on the range, this class taught me so much more about how to handle firearms outside of that environment. Techniques like holster management, shot accuracy under stress and practicing live fire exercises while moving on the range. Not something you get to do often on an indoor public range.
Jim mixes the training with real world examples and his experiences that make the class so much more interesting than watching videos or just reading about it. I also appreciated the attention to safety when we were shooting on the range.
Take the class – well worth your investment in time.
