“This program is an extremely comprehensive and yet simple approach to improving your shooting skills. What is measured can be improved and in the process you will go to the range with a plan and have more fun shooting better and faster!” – Jacob Paulsen President, Concealed Carry, Inc.

 

“When it comes to firearms training as well as range practice, the important balance of accuracy and speed are frequently difficult to achieve and/or maintain. Handgundrills.com is the perfect solution for organizing, documenting, tracking and improving these fundamental skills. The Tactical Intelligence Group, and its Lead Instructors, are very happy to lend this product our enthusiastic endorsement.” -Tactical Intelligence Group, Cleves, Ohio (Now IMPACT range)

 

 

“I think anyone that goes to the range should have a purpose in going. This gives you that purpose.” – Glen B.

 

“It was very convenient for organizing my performance of drills, which in turn makes me focus on my time at the range. Less time standing there thinking about what to do next.” – Shaun F.

 

“Great curriculum for trainers.” – Jim L., Range General Manager and NRA Certified Firearms Instructor

 

“Everything you need documented to help improve is right there”. – Rob S., Professional Trainer

 

“By repeating the timed drills it became obvious that I needed to slow down just a little to improve my accuracy, but just a little. And by doing so my grouping improved and I was still able to do it in the allotted times.” – Brian K.

 

“I love the drill cards.” – Shawn P.

 

“Best part is encouragement to try various options.” – Paul C.

 

“Love the variety and structure offered”. – Justin F., Professional Trainer

 

“I got a lot of insight into a variety of new drills and learned a lot along the way.” – Josh B.

 

“I love the size, as at most ranges you don’t have a lot of room to use things like this. I think it’s clear, concise and gets to the point.” – Brian B.

 

“It’s very simple.” – Greg R., Professional Trainer

 

“The drill cards are great and easy to understand; the binder helped me stay organized.” – Michael B.

 

“The drills are well thought out and very well presented. I had no questions as to what I was to do or how to carry it out.” – David D.

 

“Organized, documentable, and repeatable. Much easier for new/intermediate shooters to understand and implement.” – Bo S., NRA Certified Firearms Instructor

 

“So simple and straightforward. I also really like the build quality of the product. It is very well made and more durable than I expected.” – Ken B.
