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

All have exceeded my expectations and I have learned a great deal from them all!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

It's not a sales pitch! Our class had some very new shooters that may not have shot over 100 rounds yet all the way to Competitive Shooters who have been doing it for 7 years. Everyone learned what they needed to get better. Thank You TPC! read less

Rossen and Glen were outstanding instructors. The adjunct staff were competent and helpful as well. If you are looking to improve your handgun skills, this is the place to go. I will definitely be back!! 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
Matt U. Have take training from Ron and the crew at TPC a few times. Top notch group and you WILL get better no doubt through this training. Highly recommended.Dave Hartman
Not only is this range great but the staff is truly amazing as well. Definitely a destination range with the beauty of St. George!

I wanted to learn about competitive shooting (uspsa). 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

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

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

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

For those that like statistics; They had us perform a shooting test/evaluation at the start of the class and again at the end. I improved by 58%! Glen and Joann were our instructors and I would gladly take another class from them. Instructions were clear and very understandable. They were patient when we needed a little more time to grasp a technique or concept. we never felt neglected of looked over. We learned a lot while having a ton of fun in the process. If you want to become a better shooter I would recommend signing up. read less

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 lessMike Derrick

Joshua Moody best shooting training money can buy!
Trusted by Armed Professionals All Over The World

A few things we’re great at
Our student centered approach adapts to each student’s needs.
Industry low student teacher ratios
We generally run 1 instructor to 6 students. No students are left behind. Ever. Even if they require one on one instruction.
Realistic Measurement
We don’t stand close and shoot at big targets. We train to hit a lethal zone at gunfight speed and maximum distance (safer!). Our TPC Rating system lets you know where you stand versus the best in the world. It helps you keep improving (and know you are getting better) as you continue training after the course is over.
A System that Adapts to You
Our doctrine, “Reactive Shooting”, is the science of using the body, mind, and the physics of the gun to maximize the certainty of a hit in the earliest time. You may shoot different from the person next to you in en class – but it will be as fast and as accurate as can be done with your body, mind and weapon.
Positive Teaching
We use positive teaching methos that let you know what to do, versus what not to do. We also never yell, cuss, speak dispagingly of anyone. We are a school you can feel confident to bring your family, spouse, or professional unit and expect all to be treated with courtesy and respect.
We eat our own dogfood
We say what we do and do what we say. We use our own doctrine to improve our shooting. We train our instructors in our doctrine. It works. And when we can improve it, we do. We are not mired in dogmatic theory that is 40 years old. If you can beat us, we look, learn, and adapt what we teach and do. Just say no to stagnant schools!
We hit stuff fast
All our instructors are top 10th of a % in the world shooters. The better news… they are higher than that on teaching and caring about student results.
