West Shore Sportsman’s Lewisberry PA
Instructors Will Be Tim Herron and Kent Hower
(This is the flagship class)
Space allowing, we will set up a full stage, for students to run through at the beginning of class. The stage will include a number of elements such as entries and exits, opportunities to shoot on the move, awkward positions, close and far targets, and high risk arrays. This first run through will be an assessment tool, helping the instructor to figure out your shooting style and where improvements can be made. Throughout the class we will occasionally revisit this stage, and use parts of it to isolate and develop skills, and set up drills.
Classes consist of 10-14 students, and are two days long. Classes are focused on the practical shooting skills that will help you more confidently plan, tackle, and shave time from your performance with a pistol. While this class does contain some advanced fundamentals, the class is dynamic and stage oriented. The class also includes a day of “firing line” type fundamentals training, however we wont burn through ammo like a regular class. Therefore, the round counts are bit lower than what you might have seen at traditional 2-day classes in the past – we will make them count. I am a firm believer that when it comes to proper practice, quality is much more important than quantity, so this class will also cover principles of efficient practice, and how to structure your practices to identify and address your weaknesses. Students should plan on bringing a lunch.

In addition, we‘ll be covering:
Day 1
1. Assessment of current skill of students
2. Group shooting and untimed accuracy
3. Concepts of grip/hand placement and position on the pistol and applied pressures
4. Understanding sight management
5. Diagnosing grip and triggering issues
6. One handed SHO/WHO shooting concepts
7. Dry fire skills and techniques for improvement
8. Managing mental and emotional pressure

Rapid engagement of multiple targets at adverse angles
Diagnosing inefficient motion and methods of correction

move
MOVE is about understanding the realistic manner in which we move our bodies during a critical incident. Reformatted in 2025 to a 1-Day, handgun only course. MOVE is a hybrid context/performance class. The curriculum is set from the standpoint of self defense but can be applied a wide variety of situations and goals. Getting hits on target, with maximum efficiency, and doing so while moving realistically is what MOVE is all about. During training we will identify and train the seven primary movement types. Improving performance is goal number one in MOVE and each topic will be covered in a way to encourage and track improvement. The course is also a great primer for competition as getting into and out of position quickly, while maintaining hit quality is often the difference between first and second place!

10/16/26-10/18/26 3 days 24 hours.
West Shore Sportsman’s Lewisberry PA
Instructors Will Be Tim Herron and Kent Hower
Classes consist of 10-12 students, and are three days long. Classes are focused on teaching the practical shooting skills that will help you more confidently plan, tackle, and shave time from your stages. While this class does contain some advanced fundamentals, the class is mostly dynamic and stage oriented. Because this class doesn’t include a great deal of “firing line” type fundamentals training, we wont burn through ammo like a regular class. Therefore, the round counts are bit lower than what you might have seen at traditional 2-day classes in the past – we will make them count. I am a firm believer that when it comes to proper practice, quality is much more important than quantity, so this class will also cover principles of efficient practice, and how to structure your practices to identify and address your weaknesses.
3 Day ~ 1k Rounds $800
*Base fee per student - this does not include any range or material fees necessary for the class, your class organizer will let you know if these apply.
Curriculum:
This is an instructor development class. The idea is to discuss shooting diagnostics, adult learning, curriculium development, and coaching through the lense of the course I already teach.
Space allowing, we will set up a full stage, for students to run through at the beginning of class. The stage will include a number of elements such as entries and exits, opportunities to shoot on the move, awkward positions, close and far targets, and high risk arrays. This first run through will be an assessment tool, helping the instructor to figure out your shooting style and where improvements can be made. Throughout the class we will occasionally revisit this stage, and use parts of it to isolate and develop skills, and set up drills.
IMPORTANT TO KNOW:
Round Counts: The round counts provided are SAFE ESTIMATES. You may not shoot all of the

West Shore Sportsman’s Lewisberry PA
Instructors Will Be Tim Herron and Kent Hower
Classes consist of 10-12 students, and are three days long. Classes are focused on teaching the practical shooting skills that will help you more confidently plan, tackle, and shave time from your stages. While this class does contain some advanced fundamentals, the class is mostly dynamic and stage oriented. Because this class doesn’t include a great deal of “firing line” type fundamentals training, we wont burn through ammo like a regular class. Therefore, the round counts are bit lower than what you might have seen at traditional 2-day classes in the past – we will make them count. I am a firm believer that when it comes to proper practice, quality is much more important than quantity, so this class will also cover principles of efficient practice, and how to structure your practices to identify and address your weaknesses.
