Got some great review from this past weekends class.

This was an incredible experience. The clinic was top notch. Gordan has a knack for teaching. He can not only see what is not quite right, but always has several different suggestion to help you find what works for you to fix the problem. He is very positive and never condescending. He pushed you outside your comfort zone to show you what you can achieve. Then he shows you how to achieve it and then you do!!! The drills we did were then put into real life scenarios so we could apply what we learned.

Big thanks to Cody Ray for setting this up and helping. Cody has an incredible eye to help you in your shooting too. I learned so much and have so much more to learn. I am looking forward to the next clinic, it is an opportunity no one should miss. Highly recommend!!!

Gordon Carrell’s Pistol II class was great. Gordon is an excellent teacher, no matter your skill level. He showed us several drills that we can use in our daily training. I highly recommend this class for anyone wanting to improve their shooting skills.

Also a big thanks to Cody for setting up the class and assisting Gordon.

I received this email from one of my former students.  Congradulations Jerry!  If you would like to share your win or testimonal, email me at gordon@glcshootingacademy.com

GLC SHOOTING ACADEMY GRADUATE SHOOTS AND WINS

   A recent GLC Shooting Academy graduate is crediting his training for an impressive finish at the 2013 South Mountain Showdown IDPA Match in Phoenix Arizona November 2, 2013.

   Shooting in his first major match since graduating from Pistol II July 28, Jerry D’Amico captured First Place in the Custom Defensive Pistol Expert Class and a close second overall out of 32 shooters in the CDP Division, a mere 4 points behind the division champion.  D’Amico toppled 5 other Experts and 2 Masters and was the most accurate of all CDP shooters with just 31 points down.

    Shooting for the Tactical Defense Solutions Performance Team and Personal Protection Consultants, D’Amico drove his Stephan Hutton built vintage Springfield GSP 1911 to CDP Division wins in 2 of the 8 stages, finishing a blazing 4^th and 6^th overall of the 108 competitors in those two stages. His 4^th place overall finish on Stage 2 even topped USPSA national champion Nils Jonasson.  D’Amico posted top five CDP division finishes in 5 of the 6 remaining stages and a 7^th place finish in the 6^th.

   His score proves a CDP shooter can compete against other divisions as he topped 3 of the 5 ESP Masters, 4 of the 9 ESP Experts and all 8 SSP Experts.  “A hit on a non- threat at 25 yards cost me a 5 point penalty and the division title, it was that close,” D’Amico admitted.  “Gordon’s training helped me recover mentally and move to the next stage which was my best of the match,” D’Amico noted.

   “I couldn’t have done it without the training I received from Gordon Carrell in July.” D’Amico insists. “I came out of the class with a completely new perspective on how to improve both my mechanical and mental skills.” D’Amico immediately started practicing, which he had never managed to do before, and practicing with purpose, efficiency and accountability.  “In the weeks following the class I began closing the gap on and in most cases beating shooters in local matches I had never beaten before,” he states.  “This was my first major match class win in 3 years after a disappointing string of second place finishes and I have never finished anywhere near that high in division.” D’Amico admits, “I am convinced it was Gordon’s training that made the difference!”

  He is proud to point out that the shooter who topped him by only 4 points for the CDP Division title is the same shooter who beat him by more than 50 points in a major match just 3 years ago!

   “Gordon’s training and guidance has given me the incentive and confidence to charge forward to even greater accomplishments, it’s a great feeling!” D’Amico states.
