Matt Burkett/Nor. California Class - 9/29 & 30 - 2 spaces left

[Gryff]

In case you are considering the Matt Burkett/Practical Pistol class in Richmond at the end of this month, there are only two spaces left. You can register online if you wish to grab one for yourself.

Remember that Matt will be shooting with the students who want to compete in the Richmond IPSC match the day after the class. Even if you are not specifically an IPSC shooter, you can compete in the match and get the benefit of receiving critique from Matt as well as see how he runs the stages himself.

Matt Burkett is coming back to Northern California to put on another 2-Day Advanced Practical Shooting class. The instruction will have a competition focus (IPSC, IDPA, etc.), but it will also cover much that is applicable to defensive pistol use.

For those not familiar with Matt, he is a national champion IPSC and 3-gun shooter who has been providing instruction and instructional DVDs for several years now. The words of one of his past students sum it up nicely:

"This brings up an interesting aspect of training with Matt Burkett. While he’s a very talented instructor and a truly gifted competitor, his ability to instantly and accurately diagnose what you’re doing as you shoot might well be his most surprising ability. His unerring and repeated ability to stop a shooter, point out a small improvement, and immediately have accuracy go up, or time go down, was truly astonishing. Combine this with the fact that he shoots at the highest level the sport knows, and you’ve got an instructor who can take you the limit of your ability-in my case, even beyond what I thought I could ever do."
