Numerous shooting schools teach “THEIR” techniques. At Trident Firearms Academy, LLC we believe in Supermarket Methodology. You pick and choose what works for you based on your environment. If you shoot the weaver stance, Isosceles, or some version in between, it doesn’t matter. One size fits all doesn’t work in clothing and doesn’t work in most other things either. If it’s not broken we will not try and fix it. We will show various techniques and try to tailor them to the individual student. Ultimately you decide what works best for you. We accomplish all of this in a methodical building block approach with lots of hands on practice and instruction.
