Description
About Pistol IQ 2.0
This is the next step beyond my original Pistol Intelligence course intended for shooters looking to apply Pistol IQ concepts within a broader framework and more complex skills. We will start on Day 1 with a refresher on key ingredients taught in Pistol Intelligence–proper fundamentals, recoil management, visual processing concepts, and shot calling, along with the core drills that help reinforce these skills. Students will get an opportunity to shoot the Pistol IQ Standards to establish a baseline and measure where they are at.
Day 2 will then build upon this foundation and open the flood gates to exposing shooters to more challenging situations. This is still fundamentally a shooting course, but participants will be expected to apply themselves to unconventional shooting positions, movement, varying degrees of complex target arrays, and more!
What You’ll Learn in Riley Bowman’s Pistol IQ 2.0 Course
As in Pistol Intelligence, in Pistol IQ 2.0 our goal is to unlock visual performance and show you how to connect what you see with your desired results on target. You will come away with the ability to KNOW precisely where each bullet fired will impact the target before it even gets there. Some of the things in the course may seem like it has a competition focus, but I promise you these concepts are ESPECIALLY useful for gun-carrying professionals and serious concealed-carrying citizens. Learning to use your vision more effectively has been shown to actually reduce stress and improve decision-making when it matters. We will also cover the following:
Recoil management done the right way!- Concepts of sooner NOT faster
- Vision drills
- Shot calling
- Accountability for hits
- Wide Transitions
- Proper Orientation for Target Arrays
- More Complex Target Arrays
- Movement (Walking & Running) & Muzzle Management
- Shooting While Moving
- Positional Shooting
- Entries & Exits
- And more!
Who Should Attend This Shooting Course?
This should not be the first formal pistol training course you have taken. This is not a class intended to teach you how to draw or how to setup your gear. This is a class to teach you how to SHOOT! Ideally you will already be a graduate of Pistol Intelligence (Pistol IQ 1.0), but this is not required. You should already be COMPLETELY comfortable with handling, manipulating, drawing, holstering, and moving with your gun with 100% safety. Already having some competitive shooting background would be helpful, or at least moving in complex training environments. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
