Took the Competition Handgun Mastery Class. Ron, Ken and the rest of the staff are World Class instructors! Thoroughly enjoyed the class and can't wait to come back to take another class!

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

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

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

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

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

  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.

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

Took the handgun mastery class and loved it! Excellent teachers helping with every part of shooting a handgun. Will be taking more classes in the future.

Being the President of the Linden Gun Range and Linden Competitive Shooting Club, I have taken many certified firearms training courses as well as had the opportunity to be instructed by some very talented shooters in the sport. I must say this was, by far, the most professional and well-designed courses I have participated in.
This course will turn you into a better shooter. It will build your confidence, break down each skill necessary to master the handgun, give you a better understanding of kinesthetic awareness and alignment, help you understand the visual focal continuum, integrate the skills you learn into your performances, and so much more.
I would highly recommend it to every shooter and will definitely attend another TPC course in the future. Ron Avery, Max Leograndis, Rossen Hristov & Louie Tirona were very professional and attentive and I couldn't be more impressed by my overall experience. It is well worth your investment. 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

The answer is YES! I never thought I would ever consider spending the money to go to one until I met Ken Nelson at a match in St. George. I told him of my frustration of plateauing at my current skill level. Ken took the time listen and explained why TPC’s pistol mastery course would be the perfect fit to help me achieve my goals. So I decided to pull the trigger so to speak and signed up for my first class.

I attended the 3-day Pistol Master Class in June. I wasn’t sure what expectations I had, but from the instructors, to the curriculum, to the amount of individual attention received, TPC surpassed every one of them.
The curriculum was probably what surprised me the most. You are not just taught to shoot the way that they want you to simply because they say so. Instead you are taught the principles and reasoning behind every aspect of their shooting system. These principles vary from things you might expect like your grip and trigger manipulation to those that I had never put as much thought into.
The ratio of instructors to students is fantastic. There was one teacher to every two students. This allowed for all the individual attention needed, making it feel more personal versus just being grouped in with several others.
The instructors themselves are also phenomenal, not just at instructing on the range, but breaking down and dissecting every aspect of your shooting. While doing this they are able to pinpoint the areas that need tweaking or modification, helping you to make the necessary adjustments to improve your accuracy and performance.
By the end of day 3 I felt I could already see an improvement in my shooting. But as they counseled at the end of the course, it takes months of practicing these new principles to make them 2nd nature. It has been almost 3 months since the class and I have seen more improvement in my shooting abilities then I have over the last couple years. If you are unhappy with your skill level as a shooter and want to improve, I highly recommend taking a class from the Tactical Performance Center. You will not regret it and it will leave you wanting to come back for more. 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

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

Everyone learned what they needed to get better. Thank You TPC! 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

  Great people..........................

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.

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!

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 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

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
