Here is a fun way to learn the fundamentals of shooting for a novice or reinforce your skills as an advanced shooter. Come train with us as we put a new spin to the basics with Zombie 101.
- GET WISE BEFORE THEY RISE!; Situational Awareness, Color Codes of Awareness, Prepared not Paranoid. The best fight you can win is the one you saw coming and were able to avoid
- THE MENU. Knowing Them All Makes Zombies Fall; It’s not a 7 course meal, its the 7 fundamentals of shooting. Grip, Stance, Sight Alignment, Sight Picture, Trigger Control, Breathing, and Follow Through
