Surgical Speed Shooting, Elizabeth, CO, Jun 20 & 21

Surgical Speed Shooting:

Missing is the sickness, Surgical Speed Shooting is the Cure! This is the flagship Options for Personal Security (OPS) course & the hands-on component to Andy Stanford’s book by the same title. SSS is, as the title states, all about learning how to shoot faster & more accurately. This is definitely a skills course focused on your ability to get accurate fire on target as fast as appropriate for the situation. A big part of this class is learning how fast you can fire & maintain an acceptable standard of accuracy at different distances.

You’ll be able to practice the vast majority of the drills with minimal, if any, modification on your home range even if you’re not allowed to move, set up cover, draw from the holster, etc.

Topics Covered:

Details of the Modern Isosceles grip & stance (including the WHY behind the techniques)
The defensive drawstroke
Elements of trigger control
Speed & accuracy enhancement drills
Rates of fire
Full spectrum visually verified aiming techniques
Modulation of acceptable sight picture & trigger control speed aka “gear shifting”
Transition between targets
Multiple target engagements
One handed shooting
Shooting on the move
Rapid fire precision at distance

Equipment Required:

Eye & ear pro (electronic ear pro is very helpful)
1 reliable gun*
3 reliable mags minimum*
Good gun belt, holster & mag carriers
300 rounds for 1 day, 600 for both as a MINIMUM. If possible, bring more to be on the safe side & make sure the ammo works in your gun*
Personal items such as sunscreen, hat, boots, water, snacks, meds, chair, baby wipes, etc…
If you want to bring a lunch to the range that’s fine but we usually eat in town

*While there is something to be said for testing new guns, gear, ammo, etc. during a high intensity class you will not get the full benefit of the class if your gun does not run. Trust me, a tap-rack-bang during a six shot one shot per ¼ second drill defeats the purpose of that drill. I may or may not have personal experience with that scenario.

Other Info:

Limit is 20 students. June 20 & 21. Cost is $185 for Sat only & $335 for both days. Location is a private range just outside Elizabeth, CO. We’ll meet at the Safeway Starbucks in Elizabeth & caravan to the range.

We have a little less than a month to go & I have a little update. If you’ve taken any OPS classes before you can get the returning student pricing listed below.

Carbine- $140
Surgical Speed Shooting- $145-Sat only or $270 for Sat & Sun
Combat Revolver- $140

The new student prices are outstanding for this level of training but the returning student rate is even better. All you have to do is note something to the effect of “returning student” on the application or otherwise let us know that you’ve trained with OPS in the past & you’re in.

Sounds like my idea of a good weekend, but I can't do it anytime soon. I would drive there to do it though.

Do you think you will have trouble filling the class because not many people can spring that much ammo right now?

If anything I think the scarcity of ammo is going to be more of an issue than the cost. If you can find it, Wal-Mart is still selling 9mm WWB at $20/100 rounds. While not the $10-$12/100 rounds of a few years ago it's still not that extravagant.

I think it may be hard to get people to part with their beloved stockpiles though. Never mind that 800-1000 rounds used in training will benefit you well above & beyond what that same amount of ammo will do for you sitting in a safe or closet.
