Tactical Pistol Course

At Shipley Tactical we do not offer several different levels of pistol training. Instead, we have developed a full tactical pistol course that fits the needs of any active operator. We teach only tried and true techniques that our instructors have used in real-world situations. Safety and aggressive learning is our goal. We start with the fundamentals and point out less than desirable habits and progress rapidly to advanced techniques. We guarantee not to waste anyone’s time. Your trigger finger will be sore and your skills will be honed. Before we issue our completion certificate you must pass a final exam with a score of 95% or better.
