Payment:
The cost is $450 due to a smaller size group. Please add the range fee of $75 as well for a total of $525. This can be paid via PayPal to 180firearmstraining@gmail.com. Please use the “family and friends” option so I don’t get hit with a fee. Include the class location and your name in the notes to help me keep track of payments. If you don’t have PayPal, please email me to work something else out. Payment reserves your slot and is nonrefundable if the class takes place. The minimum number of students for the class to take place is 4. If you are a club member, the range fee is waived.

Time:
8 AM-5 PM, we will break for about an hour around noon. No need to be there early. Pack a lunch and snacks for the day and lots of drinks, be sure to include electrolytes such as Gatorade, not just water!
Equipment:
Pistol, back up gun, holster, magazine pouches, ammo, pistol belt, eye protection, hearing protection. Be sure to wear a light-weight shoe with good traction for various terrain, like a trail shoe. Sunscreen, bug spray, weather appropriate clothing, work gloves.
Round count is 1,000 total for the two days. The number of rounds you use will be based on your own level of motivation. The round count provided is a SAFE ESTIMATE. You may not shoot all of them. If you want to bring twice as many, that's up to you.
Please, please, PLEASE make sure you have working, proven equipment, ammunition that runs, spare batteries (if you have an optic), and a backup if you think you'll need it. Malfunctions and consistent issues hinder your ability to learn, and you'll be wasting time on a learning experience that's punctuated by gun or ammo problems. I hate to see students lose out on knowledge and training because of equipment issues. I cannot stress enough - I want you to get the most out of any class that you can - please make sure your equipment is running, zeroed, and proven.
Curriculum:
Upon arrival we will build a stage together. Once this is done, we will do an introduction.
We will rotate between two bays. One bay will have a stage that we will all shoot together in the morning so that Kita can observe your movement and individualize a plan for each person. You won’t get much, if any feedback on that first run…it is simply an assessment. Shoot the stage as you would in a match.
For each student, we will write down a time and anything odd like an FTE, no-shoot, mike, double engagement or firearm malfunction just to give the shooter a general idea. We will paste right away, just make sure to let the shooter know if you see one of those things. After everyone has shot, we will go through how to find the flow of movement through a stage during stage planning.
We will then go over the first drill and learn the footwork for moving out of different types of positions. After the drill demo, everyone will rotate through dry firing the drill to ensure you understand how to perform the footwork. We will then divide into groups.
One group will remain and shoot the drill. We will have at least two shooters on the same line make ready, stay hot, and reload as needed. We will run one shooter at a time and you will get individualized feedback. Once each shooter has completed a total of 5 repetitions, we will paste the targets, and the others in the group will be up.
If you are not up, stand back and go through the movements. Listen to the feedback the other students are getting, because it will help you with your runs. Once you are able to understand what the proper technique looks like, I want you to all help teach one another. When you see something done well, let them know! When you see something that they missed, repeat what the instructor said to do in that instance. This will help you learn and retain information much better by giving feedback to other students. Please be accepting of feedback from your peers and remember that it helps the person who is giving you feedback to learn.
Those who are not in the group on the drill will go to the stage. Part of the test and learning process is to locate on your own where you think the different steps apply to the stage. Some of them might not apply at all! It’s like trying to apply clues to a breakout room…some work and some don’t, but that is up to you to figure out in order to escape! This is the application portion.
Break down a part of the stage into a drill with just a couple of targets to apply the step you just learned. If the step doesn’t apply in the stage, you don’t have to stay within the fault lines or shoot in the same order as you did in your plan…create a drill to use that step. Creating your own drill to apply the step will help you process the lecture portion and retain the information better. Once you have located where the different steps apply on the stage, if at all, and have practiced them in a drill you’ve created from the stage, then shoot the entire stage with a focus on including the steps that apply.
Please reset the targets on the stage so that you know where your hits are going.
We will continue rotating between the drills and the stage in this manner and build a new stage the second day. The reason for using the same stage for an entire day is to help you focus on learning the steps without having to learn a new stage plan every time. The drills will be set up in a simple way that you can easily replicate on your own for practice.
The targets for the drills will be very easy so that you can put your full attention on learning the steps. Once you have learned the steps in your practice, start making the drills harder by adding hard cover, no-shoots, distance, wide vs. narrow transitions, obstacles, awkward positions, ports, barricades, etc. Make your practice hard once you are able to perform the steps.
Movement Training:
Explosive movement, shooting on the move with a hitch step, lean/drop step, footwork for position exit/controlling entry, up-range movement, stage programming for flow of movement, the movement portion of transitions, practical shooting specific skills, the “quiet eye” for programming eye movement.
Side note: I recommend taking Ibuprofen, stretching, and drinking plenty of fluids the day before the class in order to prevent injury and to get the most out of it. When you arrive in the morning, please move your joints through their full range of motion before we begin. If you sit down for a prolonged period of time, please repeat this with dynamic stretching/range of motion to prevent injury. If you don’t work out regularly, don’t push yourself to run at 100%. Focus instead on efficient footwork to save time. Push yourself, but not to the point that you’re going to pull a muscle or injure yourself. Listen to your body.
Be Prepared!
We shoot rain, shine or hurricane, so bring weather appropriate gear, sunscreen, bug spray, etc. Plenty of extra ammo, extra mags, mag brush, a spare gun if you have it, sight adjustment tools for your gun, any gun repair items/replacement parts you may need, squib rod, etc. We’ve had students lose their front sight on many occasions, so bring an extra if you’ve got it! You are going to shoot enough rounds that you may wish to clean your gun after the first day, so bring your gun cleaning kit! Prepare for the worst, hope for the best.
Safety
You are responsible for your own safety as well as the safety of those around you. Please stay alert and follow range rules. Be sure to wear eye protection and hearing protection.
Video Reviews on Movement by Kita Busse:
As a former student, you get a discounted rate on video reviews for movement. You get 4 videos for $50 with voice recorded feedback, and lines and angles drawn on the video to point out the effect of various movements. Please be sure to include your whole body and feet in the video. Choose stages that involve significant movement. Please send one video at a time via Facebook messenger, or add them to Drop Box. My email is 180firearmstraining@gmail.com. This will help you check on application of the skills you’ve learned to ensure you are applying them properly. The cost for non-students is $50 for 3 videos, simply because it takes longer to explain the movements.
BOOK
If you would like to order a personalized copy of Smart Move: Economy of Motion for the Shooting Sports, I can bring copies with me. The cost is $41. Otherwise, they are also available online at https://www.amazon.com/Smart-Move-Economy-Motion-Shooting/dp/109241567X/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=smart+move&qid=1568826901&sr=8-2
This is the first textbook on movement for the shooting sports, and it is designed for all different learning styles. It is close to 300 pages, but includes a comic book style format for those who don’t like textbook style. There are contributions from many of the top shooters in the world for pistol, 3-Gun and PCC. There is a drill index in the back to make them easy to find, and there is a chapter on creating your training plan to learn a skill in half the time. Enjoy!
