8/13 - USPSA Range Officer Level II Course
July 29,2011 09:04
The Southern Chester County Practical Shooters Association is acting as the host for a USPSA Chief Range Officer course on Aug 13, 2011. The course will be in the SCCSFA club house - no ranges will be used. We ask that club members try not to disturb the class while it is in progress.
The USPSA (IPSC) has three levels of Range Officer training. The Level I Course (Range Officer) is offered on a regular basis at clubs throughout the US. The Level II Course (Chief Range Officer) is normally done by correspondence and can take several months to complete. By having the class at Southern Chester, we can offer Range Officers through out this region a unique opportunity to take the bulk of the class in a one day format. By doing so, we will greatly increase the knowledge and skills of the Range Officers we depend upon to conduct matches in the area.

YOUR COMPETITION HANDGUN TRAINING PROGRAMJune 3rd, 4th, 5th 2011Palmyra Sportsmen’s Association, Palmyra PAwww.directactiontactical.com Join Michael Seeklander, Nationally recognized trainer, USPSA GM Practical Shooting Champion, and Author of Your Competition Handgun Training Program, for this exciting training event. Designed as a practical compliment to the book, this course will empower the shooting athlete to reach their competitive goals by showing them “how” to properly train their sport utilizing drills with correct design and perfect execution. This two and a half day course reinforces the concepts of the book which is a complete practical handgun training program (299 pages of drills and information). The program will take your shooting to the next level. The book and subsequent range sessions contains mental, physical, shooting, vision, and planning skills, then combines them in a three phase program. The program is like nothing else available today, focusing in not only the execution of skills but in the process to properly train those skills and subsequently improve your results. This course is ideal for shooting athletes that are newer to the sport, looking for a solid foundation, as well as season shooters looking to gain that competitive edge.
