Outstanding Instructor!
★★★★★
“ Over the past 25 years, I have prosecuted and defended people for crimes in the State of Illinois ranging from weapons violations to triple homicides. If you are considering any type of firearms training there is no one more professional and knowledgeable than Donovan Moore. His expertise is second to none and his demeanor and positive teaching attitude makes even the most inexperienced shooter feel comfortable and confident in their abilities. I highly endorse him for his knowledge, intelligence, integrity, and dedication to making firearms training a safe and positive learning experience”
- Thomas Glasgow

I can't recommend Donovan enough!
★★★★★
“ I've been training consistently with Donovan for nearly two years. In that time I have made measurable improvements in just about every aspect of training: Manipulation, speed, and accuracy. Not only does he posses the utmost expertise in weapon fundamentals and defensive tactics, he also places an intense value on safety. He has installed the ability in me to be able to make conscious and potentially life saving decisions under stress. What I appreciate most is his patience and ability to adapt his instruction to my learning style. Donovan is an exceptional instructor and mentor.”
- Michael Burroughs

P1T is Exceptionally ran!
★★★★★
“ I have had the privilege to train with Donovan for over two years now. Not only has my accuracy and gun handling fundamentals improved dramatically, Donovan has been able to pull back the curtain and expose me to real life situations and how to work under stress. He always seems to know when to amp up my level of training. Donovan always has these unique abilities to address my weaknesses.”
- Lance Cutler

About

Donovan Moore of Point 1 Tactics has earned the title of Grand Master in USPSA in both divisions: Carry Optics and Limited Optics.  He is the first one ever to achieve the milestone of GM shooting the discipline from concealment, and the only one to ever do it in multiple divisions.  P1T’s credo will make you a more skilled and efficient shooter.  The primary focus always being:  Achieving a masterful level of the 3 Pillars; Grip/Sights/Trigger.  As a responsible and capable firearm owner, you must understand the rationale behind self-exploration and finding what works best for you.  When training with P1T you will be challenged, pushed beyond your comfort level, and expected to engage in effective communication. It is my goal to educate, identify a weakness, then give you homework to make that weakness a strength.  I take great pride in the effective teaching of all students regardless of their previous experience level.

As a former Master Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technician in the Navy, I’ve had the privilege of spending a decade in the military embedded in many different specialized units.  I realized early on that to integrate seamlessly I needed to become highly proficient in many areas.  Shooting was one such skill that became something more to me than just an occupational necessity.  I’ve been very fortunate to have had the ability to expand my personal experience by having access to the most elite shooting schools/instructors.  Always a student of my craft, I continue the practice of seeking out training with the best to this day.

It’s crazy what you do when you get tired, be lazy, or get fatigued. 1st setup I worked ladder drills at 20 yards on 8” plates. Worked two types of movement: Hips square with a shuffle, and a two step hips toward target before squaring back up.
—
Entries stayed the same regardless of movement:
• Bleed Speed
• Sink Hips
• Gun Up
• See Sights
• Prep Trigger
—
Second setup worked 8” plates at about 15 yards with an open board in between to merge positions. Focused heavily on never bringing the gun down.

Weak side retreat hard leans have been a problem for me. Working on them to make it as simple as any other entry.
—
1. crash to hard, not low enough, weight carries me to one leg.
—
2. Better throttle and weight shift, but gun up way too late.
—
3. & 4. Marked spot, Ideal weight control, gun up early, with a 1.5 reload out of position.

• trigger break reload was non existent.
• position 3 had makeup on steel off of late reload.
• shot into position 4 way to late.

Lots of takeaways from one very simple stage.
