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

As a Navy Master Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technician 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.

Donovan Moore of Point 1 Tactics has earned the title of Grand Master in USPSA.  He currently is the first and only one ever to achieve that milestone shooting the discipline from concealment.  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.

Shot the classifier 25-03 last week, “Let Him Cook”.
9A / 1C in 5.55.

Three different views here to show the advantage of
“BEING READY TO SHOOT BEFORE YOU ACTUALLY SHOOT”
—
Let’s go through these 6 steps that I focus on:
—
• 1st: When I leave position 2 I am marking my spot as I am gaining distance. Typically this is done later in the Speed Phase but because this area I am moving in is so close together it happens right away and blends into the Aiming Phase.
• 2nd: GET GUN UP!
• 3rd: Throttle down my speed.
• 4th: See my Sights BEFORE I clear my visual barrier.
• 5th: Get Low & WIDE!
• 6th: Trigger Intimacy.
—
Shooting fast is sexy. But shoot sooner and you’ll start to win!

Not always sunshine and rainbows.

I teach and preach the importance of consistency. There’s finishing a stage and being “behind the pack”. Then there is this: DUMPSTER FIRE! You won’t win anything with those shit show performances.

It’s unfortunate, but so it goes. Learn from it and move on, nothing goes perfect.

Took the Combined stage win on the shoot house stage. Unique in that they combined inside super fast open boards with outside 25 yard slashers. In combination with some steel and a mover. Great Stage!

1/1 on steel with good hits on slasher and swinger seemed to be the difference.

I loved it. No 50+ round stages, no strong/weak arm garbage, no stand in a spot classifier style stages, no absurd rope swings, no stupid props or starting positions….. etc.
—
Just great shooting stages with many options and great flow! Well done 💪🇺🇸
