[Matt Little]

Come train with Matt Little of GreyBeard Actual LLC at the iconic Royal Range in Nashville, TN.

Pistol Skill Development

This two-day course focuses on how to optimally train marksmanship at speed with a pistol. This course is not about tactics, although tactical application of all techniques taught will be discussed, but instead is about skill with the firearm. Your skill at shooting drives your tactics, and the ability to make a shot with precision, rapidly, and under pressure, is of paramount importance. Our goal is for every student to finish this class with a deeper understanding of how to construct their personal training in order to improve as efficiently as possible.

Ammo available if purchased 2 weeks or more prior to class date.

Topics Covered:

Fundamental principles of marksmanship at speed
Efficiency and consistency of weapons manipulation at speed
Movement principles for application of shooting technique
Technical efficiency and individual optimization of technique
Isolation of skills and training methodology for improvement
Technical experimentation in training
Complex drills for training skills in aggregate
Maximizing performance under pressure
Creating a feedback loop for maximizing efficiency of training

Course Prerequisites

Good health and a fitness level sufficient for strenuous physical activity. All our classes incorporate vigorous athletic movement.
All our classes require safe weapons handling at an unconsciously competent level of skill. This includes drawing from a holster, reholstering, reloads, and weapons safety during dynamic movement and under physical and mental stress. Flagrant or negligent unsafe actions will result in removal from a class without refund.

Equipment Requirements

Serviceable pistol of 9mm or larger caliber, minimum 3 magazines (6 for single stack guns), belt, holster and at a minimum two mag pouches capable of retaining weapon and magazines during strenuous movement. Minimum 1,000 rounds of ammunition, although more is recommended. Eye/ear protection for range. No Serpa holsters or soft nylon/leather holsters permitted in class.

Our primary instructor, Matthew Little, is a US Army Special Forces combat veteran who has extensive law enforcement experience, including serving as training coordinator and an operational supervisor on a major metropolitan SWAT team, and has worked as a government contractor in non-permissive environments. Additionally, Matt is a lifelong martial artist and former national level competitor. He is also ranked as a master class shooter with pistol and carbine by the US Practical Shooting Association, the Steel Challenge Shooting Associatio, and the International Defensive Pistol Association. He has instructed foreign and US military personnel and police officers, martial artists, and civilians. This instructional experience was not solely academic, as he was usually then leading his students operationally either in combat or in arguably the most violent major city in North America. Matt is now a published author, with articles in leading industry magazines, and a best-selling book called “The Way is in Training.”

I have not taken a class from Matt, but I have trained with him in a couple of classes at Alpha range and shot some matches with him. Good dude, good shooter, and clearly has a lot of experience.
