WYOMING LE POST CERTIFIED INSTRUCTOR COURSE - 5-day Handgun (Law Enforcement Only)
5-Day Law Enforcement Reactive Shooting Science Handgun Instructor Development
You will learn the Reactive Shooting Science doctrine and will also develop your skills as an instructor to ensure your officers are well-prepared to defend themselves and the community. This course will delve deeply into what it takes to shoot at true fighting speeds while maintaining shot placement accountability. You will learn how to diagnose shooting errors and correct them at speed without “slowing down to get your hits.” As a firearms instructor, it is your obligation to provide the best possible training for those under your charge. You will find that training in this course.

Relevant Feedback
The class was incredible. As a forensic scientist, I greatly appreciated the opportunity to apply a scientific method to my shooting skills. This training also inspired me to apply the ‘trust the process’ methodology in other areas of my life. I will say that I could have benefited from more one-on-one training. In other law enforcement-based training, there are lab assistants who can break off to work with students who are struggling. Considering I was one of two students out of 9 that used iron sights, I needed a little more practice in areas before proceeding to the next step in instruction. If there were a way I could have worked with someone one-on-one away from everyone else, that would have been great. I am sure you have heard this before, and I understand making changes to a training course is easier said than done. I am looking forward to taking more classes through TPC!
One of the best and most informative / eye opening class. Even this class is about principals, those are explained and presented in easily acceptable way for students with any level of shooting advancement.
Doesn’t matter how good or bad shooter you are - this class will make anyone happy.
The best pistol class just continues to get better and better! You can look straight to the front of the classroom for that. Rosson is an incredible instructor.
His refinements to the curriculum over the past several years have made it even easier to learn not just what to do.. but the most efficient ways to do it and (most importantly) the reasons behind it. You LEARN in this class.
As Rosson describes, explains and demonstrates a skill, any student can stop him to ask a question or get clarification. At this point, Rosson has students run practical drills on the skill and he comes along to provide one-on-one instruction and feedback with every student- every time.
Shooting skills over the 3-day course are dramatically improved. And then students have access to the targets and drills to continue on their own time. And Rosson is easily contacted any time after the course for questions and advice.
You will learn SO much more here… and you will have alot of fun.
Seriously- it doesn’t get better than TCP Pistol 1. Sign up for the class and get started.
