Register for Fundamental Foundations 101 w/ Instructor Andy Dang of Rooftop Shooting Academy (OPEN ENROLLMENT)

FF101 covers the absolute essentials of performance marksmanship. This course is designed from the ground up to chain together interrelated parts of shooting in a logical progression. You will have principles and a process-based approach to learning how to shoot.

The three skills of shooting, grip, vision, and trigger control, lay the groundwork for other higher-performance skills. Once those are mastered, emergent skills like shot calling, confirmation, and transitions will take your shooting to the next level. We will also cover key firearms manipulations, including draw and reload techniques.
