  • One Handed & Weak Handed Shooting
  • Non-Diagnostic Linear Malfunction Clearing

The Intuitive Defense Shooting Course is not designed to make you the best shooter you can be on the range, rather its goal is to help you quickly develop fundamental skills that you can apply in a worst-case scenario defensive shooting situation.

IDS is based on years of constantly evolving information about how the body works and what really happens during Dynamic Critical Incidents and has been heavily influenced by the diverse group of instructors that are certified to teach it and the thousands of students who have been through courses all around the world. The program features a variety of specialty drills and training methods that the student will be able to utilize in their own practice after the course in order to continue to develop their abilities.

Students will fire a minimum of 800 rounds.

Students are welcome to bring extra ammunition, as there will be certain drills where round count can easily be increased.”

The Henry Big Boy Lever Action rifle with the Ruger Vaquero revolver to honor this date in Old West history when Morgan Earp was born in 1854 in Pella, Marian County, Iowa to Nicholas Earp and his second wife, Virginia Anne Cooksey. He served as a deputy marshal under Charlie Basset in Dodge City before moving to Arizona where along with brother, Wyatt, worked as shotgun messenger for the Wells Fargo company, and deputy sheriff of Pima County and deputy marshal in Tombstone. This photo of Morgan was taken around 1881 in Tombstone, before the famous gunfight at the OK Corral. Morgan was shot and killed on March 18, 1882 at the age of 30.

Snuck in a quick snorkel trip at @johnpennekampstatepark coral reef while down in the Keys. This has been on my list of place to see for years. I will definitely be back to do some Scuba Diving here. The video doesn’t do it justice. It’s a must see in person. #Snorkel #Diving #MotherNatureAtHerBest ...

Both @michael_berger21 and I ran our @seekinsprecision_official HIT Rifles at this weekend’s match and every time they get even more impressive. Both had @vortexoptics scopes on them and mine was suppressed with the @kgmtechnologies R65 suppressor. For a non-custom rifle loaded with all of its features, I don’t think you will find a better choice. The quality and consistency has been incredible in all the conditions that we have put it through this last couple of years.

This Accuracy International Long Range Classic was loaded with challenges and one of the toughest matches I have shot. They checked the box on almost every category.

✅ Targets out to just under 1,100 yards
✅ 2 movers on 1 stage(300 & 500 yds)
✅10” plate at 400 yards from a swinging platform (the dreaded boat)
✅2 Plate racks on 1 stage at 500 & 700
✅KYL Rack at 400 yards
✅2 unknown distance stages with no rangefinders allowed
✅one stage with no props like bipods & bags shot standing, kneeling, sitting, prone & finish with standing again

The targets were small but fair and the match was a ton of fun. @long_gunner, his crew and the folks at @altusshooting did an amazing job. Thanks to all the sponsors and everyone that worked so hard on the match. I will be back.

Huge thanks to my sponsors for their continued support @seekinsprecision_official, @vortexoptics, @eberlestock, @a3gmunitions and @harrisandsons

Just one of the stage props we shot from today. The amount of movement that you saw through your scope on recoil was crazy. You had to time your shot in order the get the hits on the 10” pie plate target at 400 yards. This stage broke many hearts today.
