SPICY Drills With Vinnie

SPICY Drills With Vinnie

$80

If you have taken a class with Vinnie, you know he likes to spice things up a bit for his advanced shooters. These 2 hours will be spent running drills tailored to the students in class.  Drills may consist of stages similar to IDPA, and other drills to help the student to become a better, more efficient shooter.  Students must come with knowledge of safety, and skills they have learned in our entire Defensive Handgun series, as this is an advanced level class (safety, marksmanship, holster draw, mag changes, moving and shooting, etc.)

Patch and Rocker Attempts

Periodically, “standards” testing to earn the Spicy Drills Patch and/or Rocker will be conducted. Please note that your class may not have this testing.
