Intermediate Pistol Training: Position and Movement
Take Your Shooting to the Next Level with Intermediate Pistol Training
For shooters looking to refine their skills beyond the fundamentals, The Warrior Within LLC offers two specialized Intermediate Pistol Training courses: Intermediate Pistol 1 – Positions and Intermediate Pistol 2 – Movement. These classes are designed to provide hands-on experience on the range with focused instruction on shooting techniques, firearm handling, and defensive strategies.
Why Split Intermediate Pistol into Two Classes?
The decision to divide intermediate pistol training into two sessions—Positions and Movement—was made to maximize hands-on range time and avoid overwhelming students with too much material in a single session. By focusing separately on positional shooting and movement-based shooting, participants can fully absorb and refine each skill set before moving on to more advanced techniques.
Intermediate Pistol 1 – Positions
Shooting from a static stance is an essential skill, but real-life defensive situations may require engaging from unconventional positions. Intermediate Pistol 1 – Positions enhances your ability to shoot accurately and efficiently from various stances, ensuring you can respond effectively in dynamic situations.
What You'll Learn:
Review of Safety and Fundamentals – Reinforcing muzzle discipline, trigger control, proper grip and more
Pistol Holds – Understanding the best ways to control your firearm for accuracy and safety.
One-Handed vs. Two-Handed Shooting – Training for scenarios where you may need to use only one hand.
Practicing Various Reloads – Improving speed and efficiency in reloading under pressure.
Recognizing and Clearing Malfunctions – Ensuring you can quickly resolve issues to get your gun back into the fight.
Shooting from Different Positions – Learning how to shoot effectively from kneeling, sitting, and lying on the ground.
Use of Cover and Concealment – Enhancing defensive shooting skills by understanding and using available cover and concealment.
By the end of this session, students will feel confident shooting from multiple positions and handling malfunctions efficiently.
Intermediate Pistol 2 – Movement
Standing still isn’t always an option in a real-world confrontation. Intermediate Pistol 2 – Movement trains shooters to move dynamically while maintaining accuracy and control of their firearm. This class builds on the fundamentals taught in Intermediate Pistol 1 by introducing movement-based shooting techniques.
What You'll Learn:
Review of Safety and Fundamentals – Reinforcing key safety rules while incorporating movement.
Pistol Holds – Ensuring safe firearm handling and while on the move.
Practicing Various Reloads – Training to reload efficiently even while moving.
Recognizing and Clearing Malfunctions – Handling firearm stoppages without breaking focus.
Move Then Shoot vs. Shoot Then Move – We’ll cover the need to move first or shoot first then move or shoot.
Shooting While Moving – Developing accuracy and control while on the move or shifting positions.
Use of Cover and Concealment – Understand the difference between cover and concealment and how to use both.
This session is ideal for those looking to improve defensive shooting skills in unpredictable environments, whether for personal protection or competitive shooting.

If you already have a solid grasp of shooting fundamentals, intermediate pistol training is the next step in becoming a more proficient and confident shooter. Here’s why these classes are essential:
✅ Refine Your Technique – Improve grip, stance, and trigger control for better accuracy and efficiency.
