Description
Stockpile Defense has partnered with Pace Performance to offer training courses!
Performance Pistol I
This is an initial familiarization class for those who have never handled a firearm or someone that has very little experience. It can also be a great refresher for those who have not shot in a while or have never taken a formal class before. If you do not own a firearm or recently purchased one, this is the class to attend.
This class is a great review of the basic principles of firearms and their safe handling. The principles of Performance Pistol I are the basis upon which all of our other courses are built. This course gives you a solid fundamental grounding and understanding of modern Performance Shooting and the use of the tactical pistol.
If in doubt about which course to start with, take this one before signing up for the next level. You will learn a great deal and improve your basic skill sets. This course is a solid foundation for a student to build on and move to the next level. We have found a unique blend of Tactical Pistol and Performance based shooting; a blend that focuses not only on Manipulation, but Marksmanship and Efficiency.
*Micro Carry/Small carry guns are not to be used in this class. If you have any questions about if your firearm is OK, reach out to Stockpile Defense.
Bring your can-do attitude, and leave your ego at home!

Paul is one of the greatest teachers I have ever had the pleasure of learning from. His ability to observe and provide feedback in a way that you can truly understand it and put it into practice is amazing. He also does a really good job at meeting each student where they are at and making it feel like it is a one on one training. Regardless of skill level you will leave a better shooter and list of things to continue to improve. Sign up you will not regret it!

Paul and Stephen from Pace Performance were great. Through the wind and the cold they made it fun and informative the entire time. They made time for every individual person in the class, giving that one on one training you would want. I feel I took a lot away from the two full days of training. Regardless if you are new to the shooting scene or you have been shooting forever you will take away some new skills or improve on an old ones. I would highly recommend taking this course.

Paul and Steve are Lajizzel!!!!. Very active on the firing line, high rep and round count.
Adaptive and constructive instruction per individual.
With a nobody left behind and no cap in growth mentality.

I recently completed Performance Pistol 1 training course with Pace Performance and was thoroughly impressed with the quality of the instruction and the overall experience. Paul and Stephen were knowledgeable and experienced, and they created a safe and supportive learning environment that allowed me to improve my skills and confidence with a handgun.
The course covered a range of topics, from marksmanship fundamentals to more advanced techniques for shooting on the move. The instructors were patient and attentive, and they provided clear and helpful feedback that helped me to identify areas for improvement and make progress throughout the course.
In addition to the excellent instruction, the course was well-organized and included a variety of hands-on exercises and drills that kept things engaging and challenging.
Overall, I would highly recommend Performance Pistol 1 training course from Pace Performance to anyone looking to improve their shooting skills and knowledge. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced shooter, you will find value in this course and leave with a greater understanding of how to handle a firearm safely and effectively.

I have taken several courses and Pace Performance was easily one of my favorites. Paul & Stephen are top notch instructors. Even though there was 15+ people in the course they made sure to spend plenty of time with each student doing 1 on 1 instruction. Whether you are new to shooting or an experienced shooter, you will learn a ton from Paul & Stephen. I highly recommend Pace Performance and will definitely be taking more courses in the future.

Paul and his pet Turkey (Stephen) were awesome to train with. I learned more with these two than I have with the other two pistol courses that Iāve attended in the past 6 years. They are friendly, very friendly, and Paul really knows how to work itā¦ the pistol that is. It was great getting to test out the agency pistol builds and learn with everyone!

I cannot begin to explain how much I grew during this course! I have not taken hardly any courses but this one pulled me out of my comfort zone, while having fun. It offered great instruction with the best criticisms and critiques. Paul and Stephen offer great one on one instruction, while still building confidence. They both have many years of shooting and it is never a dull moment.
I highly recommend attending the next Pace Performance course.

Over the past few years, I’ve attended numerous pistol courses. I can safely say that Paul and Stephen from Pace Performance are amongst the upper echelon of instructors. Throughout the two days, they displayed not only a passion for shooting but a passion for teaching and wanting students to grow as a shooter in general. Despite the austere weather conditions, Paul and Stephen brought the energy which made 2 days of being in the cold go by rather quickly. We had an array of skill levels in the course I attended but Paul and Stephen seamlessly adapted and even provided 1×1 coaching. Run, do not walk, to attend a class from Pace Performance. I will certainly be at any and all classes that they offer in the future. 10/10
