Brian Sam and Adam were awesome. Enjoyed the Multigun Mastery class! Thank you all for your hard work and time.

The TPC Multgun Mastery class is an essential step towards being successful in the sport of Multigun. Excellent Class!! Highly recommend.

  My wife and I have taken four classes at TPC. We’ve never been disappointed with the training, staff, facilities, etc. If you want to “really” learn how to shoot - TPC is the place.

A short exchange I had with Ron Avery concisely illustrates some of his philosophy.
Me: I am not considering competition shooting. I just want to feel better about self-defense.
Ron Avery: Self-Defense is competition. read less

It was 2100 rounds of getting closer to mastering stance and grip to maximize recoil management. The goal was to allow my sites to return back to where they were before the shop broke. Then the Shooting Cycle Repeats. I know that’s a very minute thing to work on, But it was a huge step for me closing in on handgun mastery! read less

The TPC Handgun Bootcamp course was simply amazing and it completely changed my life. I learned that shooting isn't just pointing at a target and pulling the trigger. I learned shooting is more a mental sport than a physical one. And I only understood this through the concept of "the reactive shooting cycle" that Ron Avery developed though his experiences as a world class competitive shooter, police officer, and a teacher. It was easy to understand and apply to shooting and I instantly saw results in accuracy and muzzle control. I was shocked to see how much of these concepts still retained with me even after the classes. Ultimately the difference is: when i go to the shooting range, I can call my shots. My paper shows my groupings are on target and not sprayed all over the paper like everyone else in the range. read less

We had 2 instructors between the four of us (JoAnn Bradley and Dave Barton). They were knowledgeable, skilled, friendly, encouraging, and professional. They took us at whatever level we were, and they prepared us to shoot rapidly by the end of the day. I was shocked by the improvement and the confidence built in such a short period of time. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with them. We loved the whole experience, would recommend them highly, and we will do it again in the future. BONUS: Our car broke down while we were there, and Dave actually escorted us to the part store, and he stayed with us for almost 3 hours while we worked on the car. Wonderful people! read less

For example, the course had a high teacher to student ratio. Because of this, we all got the one-on-one help with the things we struggled with when we needed it… rather than when an instructor happened to come by and notice.
They quickly recognized when issues crept in, and helped us to correct immediately, before bad habits could be formed.
When any of us needed a little extra help, the instructors were great at explaining and demonstrating in a concise manner, but always in an open and supportive manner.
It was a great experience. I want to take the three day as soon as I can arrange it!
We will be returning and recommend Tactical Performance Center without any reservations. Definitely 5 stars! read less

I am a middle aged woman had very little training with handguns. I have had the gun almost a year, however have not been utilizing it due to safety reason and being a little afraid of it.
This class was amazing to build my skill level and confidence. It was challenging for me to remember all the steps with grip and trigger control, yet the instructor was there to speak softly through the steps each time. The trainer to student ratio is great. I feel I left the class being confident to use my gun and carry as well. read less

Not only is this range great but the staff is truly amazing as well. Definitely a destination range with the beauty of St. George!

This past weekend I was able to attend the three day Handgun Bootcamp at Tactical Performance Center and was I ever impressed! The facility is easy to get to, I flew in to Las Vegas and made the quick and easy drive to St. George UT, and the quality of instruction was world class!! The instructor team of Ken Nelson, Brian Nelson and Dave Shore was fantastic with a ton of one on one instruction. They all have a keen eye to dissect and make subtle changes to improve your speed and accuracy.
I am planning on continuing the learning process by attending two more upcoming classes and look forward to working with these great guys again!!
Shooting is fun, even better when you are able to shoot well!! I highly recommend this outstanding training program for everyone from a new and beginning shooter to a seasoned competitive veteran. It will be time and effort well spent!! read less

After being home two weeks and religiously working on my dry fire drills, and doing the same shooting drills on the range, I now know why.
I shot my uspsa match today and had one stage with 35 rounds where I never missed a steel, and had all alpha and 1 c.
I have doubled my percentage since February and was 11% higher overall this match than last.
I even had the club open champ come up to me and say it was time to speed up.
I am 52 and before February I had not shot a gun in 30 years. Their classes are so worth it, and I highly recommend them.
I look forward to going back. read less

So I was wondering how much help this class would really be. Well it turns out it was a great help. My occasional Master level shooting was not consistent. Now I believe I have the tools to break down and isolate why its not consistent and focus my attention on making things more consistent to take things to the next level. Highly recommended even for the experienced shooter. read less

Highly professional and motivated staff. Will be taking more classes with them in the future!

Beyond amazing!
As a fairly competent shooter I was almost without words as to the level of knowledge and application they were able to teach me in 3 short days!

I have been shooting for years, and while I have trained with several nationally known champions and instructors, I have never received training as good as what I get from TPC. The instructors are all top notch. The instructor to student ratio is much higher than what you get in a normal class, so you get a lot of individual attention. Moreover, the teaching method and the science behind it is superior to anything that I have ever seen. The students also all seem to be highly motivated, which helps create a great atmosphere for learning.
All in all these classes are an outstanding value for the money, and there is no quicker way to improve than training with TPC. I will definitely be back for more. read less

The finest instructors and instruction you'll find! Invest in this training and you'll see the rewards of new friendships as well as improved shooting skills.
Highly Recommended!

Whether you're a newcomer to the sport, or more experienced, TPC will help you improve. I've been shooting competitively for a few years, and have taken several classes from some very good instructors, but I can say without reservation that the program at TPC is an incredible value. The approach Ron Avery and all of the instructors take is to break down in great detail the mechanics of shooting. The detail, and the sequencing of the exercises give you both the macro and micro view of shooting technique.
TPC's approach to the fire control triad (stance/grip/trigger control), very clearly breaks down the mechanics needed to control the pistol. The shooting sports are much easier when the pistol rapidly, and effortlessly returns to the starting point (sights aligned). If you're looking to improve your abilities, look no further than the fine folks at TPC! read less

Attended ccw training several weeks ago, it was very good. I learned more about grip, stance and mindset in a few hours than I did at some training that lasted a week.

I'm a 3 gunner and I was fortunate be able to make the trip to the Tactical Performance Center recently and I had the best time ever. If you compete in 3 Gun, USPSA or something similar and you want to improve your performance, you need to take a class from TPC. One of their students/instructors became the youngest ever female grandmaster in USPSA. That alone should tell you something about the level of quality of their training. If you can’t make the trip to Utah, they do travel to your range. Get some buddies together at your local range to help shoulder the costs. Ken sells the way he wishes he could buy. If you need cancel, you can cancel the day before the class and still get a refund. If you sign up for a class and you're somehow the only person signed up, they'll still hold the class. Everyone who works at TPC are great people.
My trip out to TPC was to take Handgun Mastery. It is a 3 day class designed to give you the tools to take your handgun game to another level. I was in a group of 12, and we never had less than 3 instructors at any point during the day. I believe we typically had 4 instructors with us. It sounds like this is the norm for TPC, they want to make sure that you are getting your moneys worth of instruction. Having a good instructor to student ratio is part of this. Many of the instructors are high level competitors in their own rights, some examples include Tim Yackley, Brian Nelson, Max Leograndis, and Jalise & Justine Williams. The instructors are there to help make sure you get the most out of the experience. They were willing to spend extra time with me to answer questions and make sure I fully understood everything.
The class goes over everything that you would expect of something called handgun mastery. Stance, grip, recoil management, drawing from the holster, sight picture, accuracy, speed, etc. All the shooting I did was stationary and the drills were designed to help me bring everything together by the end of the class. They will break down each element, explain a little bit about the theory and how it all works, and then help you put it all together so that you can work on it when you get home. To get the full benefits of the class, you’re going to have to take what you’ve learned and practice at home. As I said, practice makes permanent. If you don’t take the tools they give you and drill it into your subconscious, you will revert to your old mistakes under pressure.
Of my group of 12, I’d say 10 of them were already pretty decent to high level pistol shooters. I was not one of those 10, which is why I was so excited to take a 3 day pistol class. However, all 12 of us improved greatly over the course of the 3 day class. One of my group members remarked to the instructors something to the effect of “I’m working on reprogramming myself to use what I’m learning but I keep reverting to my old programming”. Everyone in our group had a good time and everyone found a way to elevate their pistol game.
You’re going to get a lot of stuff thrown at you over the course of 3 days, so pay attention and take notes so that you can work on things when you get home. Your hands will probably get sore, so you may want bring some athletic tape for your hands. A cooler to store sandwiches for lunch will also be helpful. The course description says 1700 rounds, but I think i shot closer to 2200 rounds.
This class is 100% worth it and I recommend it to anyone and everyone. The sooner you can take a class from TPC, the sooner you can reap the benefits and start building off what you learn. Practice makes permanent, and the sooner you can break the bad habits or the less than ideal habits, the better off you will be in the long term for your competitive shooting career. I wish I had been able to take this class sooner. I’m sure many of you have been frustrated after a stage, and I firmly believe that many of those frustrations would not have happened if I had taken this class at the start of my 3 gun career. Like I mentioned, if you can’t go to TPC you can always try to bring TPC to you.
3 takeaways:
1: I’m glad I didn’t have my 2011 yet. I feel like using my glock 19 made it harder to hide any potential issues I had. In my opinion, the 2011 weight and trigger would have masked flaws in my skills. All the skills I learned will transfer over to my future 2011
2: regardless of skill level, you will learn something. The sooner you take a class of this level, the better to speed up your learning curve
3: Be ready to practice once you get back, you need to be able to get rid of your old bad habits so you don't revert to them under stress read less

Great Instructors! I highly recommend taking a course here.

  Came out to take a class and have now ended up attending 4 now!! Great place with even better instructors.

Best firearms training I have ever received. If you wanna shoot faster and more accurately, come here and learn.

I had a great experence at the Master Handgun class. Ron Avery is not only a great shooter e is a gifted teacher. I give him the highest rating.
