At
the Midwest Academy of Target Shooting, we do not sell any
pistols. Our product is "Knowledge!" Many
amateur, recreational, and even competitive level shooters
are misled to believe that the key to their success lies in obtaining
the
most advanced
(read
"expensive") equipment on the market. They expect
their performance to increase proportionately with the amount
of money they spend
on "stuff." We
would like to address this claim by presenting a simple demonstration,
which should illustrate that
this belief is not entirely true. Please observe below:

So
now that we know what the Real key to improved performace is
NOT, it is worth considering what it in fact IS. Yes, it is true
that the newest, state of the art, high quality equipment
will
help
you gain an edge, or at least compete at the same level plane
with the world's top pistol shooters. However, this factor is
not very significant for beginning or intermediate
athletes. The only time when these factors come into play is
at advanced world-level competition. Before reaching this level,
however, an aspiring Olympic Style Pistol shooter must put in
the time and effort to do what is necessary to get in the right
state of mind, with the right skills and knowledge to compete
at an international level. Before SPENDING money
on expensive guns and accessories, all shooters
would be well-advised to first INVEST some time
and thought into obtaining a better fundamental understanding
of the PERFECT
SHOT, the basic foundation of a consistently successful
performance.
There
is one important fact that all ambitious and goal-oriented pistol
shooters must realize. In this business you cannot BUY
results, you must work on obtaining the skills and knowledge
to EARN and ACHIEVE them. For this reason, at Midwest
Academy of Target Shooting, we look at every individual client
and examine
his current performance, revealing precise problems in his
technique. Since everyone has a different set of problems, we do
not just give you a set of rules and hand you a certificate. We
explain exactly where your shortcomings are
and
work
with
you
to
fix
problems,
increase knowledge, and improve results on an individualized person
to person basis.
If
you are stuck at a certain level and you don't know why, you
should seriously consider what you have been doing to
try to improve your performance and whether it is congruent
with what you have learned here. It doesn't
matter if it's 420, 480, or 560. Until you can make a solid
600 in a competitive situation, there is always room for improvement.
If you
believe that you do not yet have the necessary fundamental knowledge
to achieve the goals you have set for yourself and become successful
in this sport, it is best to get it now, before promotional price
equals market value.
If
you would like to stop wasting time and money aimlessly and
get the right skills to begin practicing effectively
and purposefully,
the perfect place to start is: Perfect
