Our specialty is Shooting Skill, or more specifically, to teach you to shoot at the highest possible level. Our classes focus on shooting technique.  This is what makes our classes different.  Other school’s basic classes do not teach you a specific body position.  We do.  Other advanced classes primarily run you through various drills, which are fine, but they do not teach shooting technique.  We teach a specific technique that makes shooting more comfortable and makes it easier to hit your target .  Technique is the foundation by which we will get you to achieve your goal of effective self-defense.

The Turnipseed Technique is the Next-Generation shooting technique. It will enable you to perform at a whole level above conventional shooting methods. The primary purpose of the rest of this website is to show and explain more about these capabilities.

Shooting skill or ability is generally regarded as the least important component of the Combat Triad. One of the reasons for this is that the first purpose of Mindset and Tactics is to avoid any altercation. If you are successful, it will not be necessary for you to use your firearm, which is the last and least desirable option.

However, if you are ever trapped in a bona-fide self-defense situation, you will want to perform at the highest level possible. Failure will likely lead to your death and to the death or serious injury of your loved ones. Failure is not an option! The Turnipseed Technique is your answer.

There are excellent shooting schools that place their emphasis on Mindset. We do stress the Color Codes of Awareness, which is an essential element of Mindset, but elaborating on mindset is not our focus or reason for being.

We do not explicitly teach Tactics. Our focus is to teach you to shoot (technique), which will be the foundation of your defensive capability, a reliable last resort. Learn to shoot first (technique) before you learn tactics, which is simply the common sense application of your capabilities to the situation. Do not put the cart before the horse. What good are superior tactics if you cannot hit what you are shooting at under stress? And, when tactics fail, you will need to fall back on your shooting skill.

We emphasize this point.  Learn to ice skate before you play hockey.  Learn to swim before you play water polo.  Learn how to shoot first (technique) before you play tactics, drills, games and scenarios.  We will ground you in solid shooting technique.

After learning the Turnipseed Technique, we encourage you to check out other schools to see what they have to offer. When well versed in technique first, you'll get much more out of their various drills when you go to these schools. Many also do an excellent job on Mindset and Tactics and are well worth attending . But, none of them have the Turnipseed Technique. They cannot perform our lifesaving shooting techniques (capabilities such as close-quarters HipShoot while continuously moving, which is essential to realistic self-defense). The Turnipseed Action Video shows some of what we can teach you to do, and no one else has a video like this.

When they make their claims, simply say: “show me your video!” Then, compare it with ours. The buck stops here!

The Turnipseed Technique is the Platinum Standard of close-quarters defensive shooting, where 80% of real incidents go down. This is a matter of life or death, your life or death. Do not compromise your training. Do not be short-changed. Only the best will do.

Regarding Tactics, our position is:
