defensive shooting
Standing and shooting stationary targets at known distances is useful to develop basic shooting skills but does little to develop the skills needed in a defensive situation. In a defensive situation it is likely that both the target and the shooter will be moving, the shooter will be presenting the gun from concealment and the distances involved cannot be predicted. Accurate shots must be placed in a short timeframe. A defensive shooting will occur in a dynamic environment and defensive pistol skill development must take into consideration the variables involved in a defensive shooting.
Thunder Shooters Club provides shooters the opportunity to learn a skill, practice it in a supervised class, and develop it through coached practice sessions. Thunder Shooters Club will provide the perfect environment to learn and develop their defensive shooting skills.
